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.

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!

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! 🇦🇺

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!

Had an incredible experience on this tour! The geothermal scenery was dynamic and the Maori cultural experience was unforgettable. Huge thanks to our guide David for being so professional, engaging, and informative—we learned so much about the local history and culture. The itinerary was perfectly paced and service was fantastic. I'll definitely choose Expedigo again next time. Highly recommend guide David, 5 stars!

The day before departure, I received a warm reminder email with the meeting time and location. During the drive, the tour guide continuously described the scenery outside. Additionally, the guide dropped us off at our destination and clearly explained the next meeting time. For someone like me who doesn't drive, joining a reliable local tour is indeed an excellent choice. Furthermore, due to traffic on the return journey, we were 1.5 hours later than scheduled, but the tour guide personally dropped off each group member at their hotel. After the activity concluded, I also received a thoughtful WhatsApp message from the travel agency.
