Waitomo

Turul a fost bine organizat, informativ și plăcut de la început până la sfârșit. A fost fascinant să aflăm despre istoria și detaliile din culisele platoului de filmare. Peisajul a fost uimitor și au existat numeroase oportunități de a face fotografii memorabile. Duba de lux confortabilă a făcut călătoria relaxantă și plăcută, permițându-ne să ne așezăm și să admirăm peisajul frumos pe parcurs.

O experiență foarte frumoasă în ansamblu! Mi-au plăcut atât turul peșterilor Waitomo, cât și turul platoului de filmare Hobbiton. Toți ghizii au fost foarte clari și profesioniști în explicațiile lor, cu picături de umor. Rachel, șoferul de autobuz și ghidul principal, a fost, de asemenea, foarte liniștitoare, responsabilă și clară în instrucțiuni. Am văzut multe oi și vaci frumoase, crescute în libertate, pe parcurs. Foarte bun raport calitate-preț. Autobuzul a fost, de asemenea, confortabil!

A fost magică vizita la platoul de filmare Hobbiton și la Peșterile cu Viermi Luminoși. Un tur de o zi minunat! Prânz excelent, de asemenea. Felicitări ghidului nostru Richard, chiar dacă este nou, a făcut tot posibilul să ne facă experiența memorabilă. Recomand cu căldură acest tur cu Cheeky Kiwi Tours.

This is a review from someone who has never watched The Lord of the Rings. Overall, the tour was efficient, enjoyable, and very smooth from start to finish. The bus stop near the Sky Tower was easy to find, and the staff kindly helped me when I asked. I had accidentally booked a one-way ticket, but they informed me in advance so I could change it to a round trip — something to keep in mind! Our driver, Todd, was funny, engaging, and very kind. At the Waitomo Caves, the guide explains everything as you walk through. The main highlight, the boat ride, is a no-photo area, but you can purchase a composite photo afterward. The Hobbiton tour lasts about two hours, with plenty of time to take photos without rushing. Even without knowing the movie, I still enjoyed the beautiful, storybook-like scenery. My husband, who is a fan, said it was the highlight of our New Zealand trip. It was a full and very satisfying day — definitely worth the price!

A fost o zi minunată. Hobbiton a fost capricios și detaliat, cu un prânz delicios, peșterile Waitomo au fost frumoase, iar drumul de la Waitomo înapoi la Rotorua a fost o experiență în sine, cu priveliști uluitoare.

Both of the main attractions, the Glowworm Caves and the Geothermal Valley, were better than some of the Australian attractions I visited last year, and were of a higher quality and more distinctive. The driver, Mike, was very proactive and had an in-depth knowledge of the Maori people. In addition to driving, he also led the work of the tour guide and team leader, and gave a detailed account of Maori history along the way, which made the long journey of several hours less boring. Although there was WiFi available on the bus, I only had the opportunity to ask the driver for the password after getting on the bus and stopping for a short break. It would be better if the driver could proactively tell everyone the password before departure.

Our tour guide, Adil, was very professional and friendly. He shared New Zealand's history, animals, food, and some interesting stories. He also gave us very helpful advice at each attraction, which was truly wonderful! Hobbiton was my favorite part of the North Island tour; even if you haven't seen the movies, you definitely won't regret coming here. It's absolutely beautiful.

Due to insufficient participants for the Kiwi House tour, it was changed to a caves-only visit. The driver was very friendly and attentive to the elderly, and also offered travel advice for those visiting other parts of New Zealand. This tour visits two caves. In the first cave, we took a small boat, and the number of glowworms was incredibly abundant and spectacular. The guide's photography skills were excellent, capturing great photos even in the dark cave. The second cave had fewer glowworms and focused mainly on viewing stalactites.

Amazing and such an unique experience! Our guide Simon is knowledgeable in introducing not only the worm cave but also the history and fun fact of New Zealand.
