The tour was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. It was fascinating to learn about the history and behind-the-scenes details of the set. The scenery was stunning, and there were plenty of opportunities to take memorable photos.
The comfortable luxury van made the journey relaxing and pleasant, allowing us to sit back and take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

This tour exceeded my expectations - Alan was very knowledgeable, passionate and thoughtful, ensuring that we got the best shots and were well taken care of. Most importantly, he was a super careful and safe driver, which is so rare for such long drives. Thank you!

A personal guided tour has been proactively offered by the host namely "Areiana" (if I spelled her name correctly) due to certain unforeseen circumstances. This warmest approach made our family a wonderful tour. Much appreciated
Once again, thank you very much to "Areiana"

Our Hobbiton, Waitomo Caves, and Flexi Tours experience was absolutely amazing! Hobbiton truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth, with stunning scenery and incredible attention to detail. The glowworms in the Waitomo Caves were breathtaking, and our guide, Cuppa Tea, was informative, entertaining, and even treated us to a beautiful song. Bunty from Flexi Tours made our journey even more enjoyable with his friendly personality, fascinating insights about New Zealand, and a bonus stop at a beautiful hanging bridge. Our group of four felt safe, well looked after, and had an unforgettable trip. Highly recommend these experiences to anyone visiting New Zealand! 🇦🇺

We had an incredible day along the Great Ocean Road, largely thanks to our driver, Daniel! Very patient with our group, incredibly helpful throughout the entire journey, and full of informative insights about the coastline and local wildlife. The drive was smooth, comfortable, and stress-free from start to finish. Highly recommend booking a tour with them!

It was really amazing to see the geyser, thermal park and understand the Maori culture. The burger lunch is delicious too.

I really enjoyed my visit, especially our tour guide, Dave from Cheeky Travel. He made the tour so much fun and made sure to explain everything we were seeing along the way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Rotorua is truly a must-visit destination—I absolutely loved my time here and can't wait to come back!
