This tour is a great way to learn about and experience the history and culture of New Zealand. We traveled in a small van, visiting Wai-O-Tapu first and then Te Puia. Wai-O-Tapu was mystical with a strong sulfur smell. The walking routes (A, B, and C) are long, but there’s enough time, so I recommend going through Route B. Even without much stamina, it was easy to complete. The ice cream at the shop was also delicious — especially the popular vanilla with honeycomb 🍨 Te Puia was the highlight. I wasn’t very interested at first, but the haka performance was powerful and the performers were passionate, making it a truly enjoyable cultural experience. We also learned about Māori history and saw kiwi birds. The kiwi enclosure is small and dark, so if you’re visiting with young children, please keep an eye on them while being mindful of others and ensuring safety. The ride was quite bumpy, but overall it was a very fulfilling tour. I highly recommend it!
did a solo tour and it was great . everything was on time .. pretty surreal day .. wished the prices could be more on the budgeted side; other than that , all the places , the explanation were on point
excellent guide and vehicle was good. enjoyed the trip
We had originally planned our visit to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves several months in advance, but unfortunately, our tour was unexpectedly cancelled by another tour agency at the very last minute. We were extremely disappointed and worried that we would miss this experience. Thankfully, Expedigo Tours came to our rescue and kindly accommodated us on their Waitomo Glowworm Caves day tour at such short notice. Their team was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. We truly appreciate their flexibility and the effort they made to arrange everything for us, especially at the last minute. Their excellent service turned a stressful situation into a wonderful travel experience. Besides the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, we also joined the Waiotapu & Te Puia tour with Expedigo Tours, and it was another fantastic experience. Our tour guide, David, was equally professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thank you, Expedigo Tours!
The tour guide was great. Even though the weather wasn't very good, they thoughtfully prepared umbrellas for everyone~
The driver was very nice, and the whole trip was very smooth with no delays.
