Reviews
The hobbiton is a beautiful place and Waitomo wormcave is amazing.
The local travel agency is great. The driver and tour guide are very attentive and professional. In addition to picking up and dropping off on time, they also arrange the itinerary very smoothly. Maybe everyone is really destined to meet each other thousands of miles away! On a whim, he treated every tourist on the bus to eat ice cream. It was really the best ice cream I have ever tasted. It was very humane. Thank you to the driver.
Is a pity that the weather is not on our side. It was raining when we were there, they do provide big umbrellas but you have to check as some were faulty. The buffet was not as good as we thought, also too rush to enjoy. Our driver was friendly and his driving was safe & smooth.
The tour guide is very energetic, he explained along the way, and took us to a secret place - Swingbridge. He answered every question and tried to match our shopping time. It is very recommended, and you can pick up and drop off at the hotel where you are staying, which is very convenient!
The coach is comfortable. The coach guide is sincere and helpful. The journey is amazing...
The best thing about the tour was the guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, making it worth every penny.
The guide was kind!! The schedule was well-organized, so there was no time wasted, which was nice. I had a buffet meal at Hobbiton, which wasn't very satisfying, but it was still edible🥲 On the way to Hobbiton, the guide stopped at rest areas so I could fill my stomach here and there!!
Nice trip with good guides and driver...Good time management on break, lunch as well as shopping. Habbiton tour is fantastic deal to the fine weather.
It was a lot of fun. The guide guided us the whole time, even on the bus. Hobbiton was a set just like the Lord of the Rings, and the Vikings were amazing. Waitomo was fun because we could see the fantastic glow worms.
Pick up at the hotel! Very convenient. The timing was great. The local travel agency does not need to pay extra for the tour guide per person per day
