This was my second trip with Expedigo. It went just as well as the first one. David, the tour guide, was full of stories - the kind that you'll hear only from someone who has grown up in and loves Aotearoa New Zealand. I picked the Redwoods Forest tree as my activity of choice and couldn't be happier with the decision. And, the Mud Pool remains the coolest thing that I have ever seen!
Thank you for choosing to travel with Expedigo again! We're delighted to hear your second trip was just as enjoyable as your first. David will be thrilled to know that his stories and passion for Aotearoa New Zealand helped make your experience so memorable. The Redwoods Forest treetop walk is a fantastic choice, and we're glad it exceeded your expectations. And we couldn't agree more—the Mud Pool is an unforgettable sight! We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon.
I had an excellent trip to Rotorua—truly beyond my expectations. Although I've visited Rotorua many times before, this trip felt like a completely new experience. One of my biggest concerns beforehand was the long drive from Auckland. I had been dealing with some back pain and physical discomfort, so I was quite nervous about it. However, the car was so comfy n the ride was incredibly smooth. It was not at all tiring as anticipated but much more enjoyable experience. What really made the trip special was our guide. His knowledge of New Zealand was outstanding, and he shared fascinating insights about the country throughout the day. Even after living here for six years, I learned so many things I had never known before. He was also extremely friendly, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Overall, the entire day was wonderful from start to finish. The combination of a comfortable journey, an informative and engaging guide, and a well-organized experience made this one of my most memorable trips to Rotorua. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, and enriching day out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It means a lot to hear that this trip to Rotorua exceeded your expectations, especially as someone who has visited many times before. There's no better compliment than knowing we helped you see a familiar destination in a completely new way. We're also very pleased that the journey from Auckland was far more comfortable than you anticipated. We understand how daunting a long drive can feel when you're dealing with back pain, so it's wonderful to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy the ride rather than worry about it. Your kind words about your guide are especially appreciated. We pride ourselves on sharing not just the sights, but also the stories, history, and culture that make New Zealand so special. Knowing that you learned new things even after living here for six years is incredibly rewarding, and we'll be sure to pass your comments on to him. Thank you again for your recommendation. We're delighted that the combination of a comfortable journey, engaging commentary, and a well-organized day made such a lasting impression. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future.
David did great job narrating the day. Sites to see are as advertised. The trip does not provide food, but there were several cafes stops that had quality/ fresh sandwiches available for purchase. Ice cream stop on the way back was a nice treat. The van door is motorized but it didn't work making it hard to open and close. Not normally a big deal, but this trip has 6 or 7 stops making loading and unloading harder than it needs to be. Also- we did 4 van trips while in NZ. This one had the most uncomfortable seats. That becomes an issue when you're in van roughly 6-7 hours on this trip. Thanks David for a great tour.
Thank you again for your detailed feedback — we truly appreciate you taking the time. We’re very glad you enjoyed the day and that David made it such a positive experience. He’ll be so pleased to hear your kind words. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the café stops and the ice cream treat on the way back — those little moments really add to the day. Regarding the van door, thank you for raising it. We use German vehicles such as Mercedes and Volkswagen, which are the same standard many providers operate in New Zealand. Occasionally, when certain parts aren’t immediately available locally, they need to be shipped in, which can take a little time. Rather than cancel the tour at the last minute and disrupt everyone’s plans, we chose to proceed while awaiting the replacement part. Most importantly, the vehicle was completely safe to travel in, and there were no health or safety concerns — the automatic door not working was a convenience issue for the guide, not for the customers, as it required extra effort for David during the stops. We really appreciate your understanding of this. As for the seating, we understand comfort can feel different for everyone, especially on a longer travel day. Your feedback is noted and appreciated as we continually review our overall experience. Thank you again for traveling with us and for sharing such balanced and thoughtful feedback.
This was such a unique experience! The geothermal pools are a must-see if you are visiting New Zealand, and the choose-your-own-adventure in the afternoon had a number of terrific options. Our tour guide, David, was amazing! As a local, he was highly knowledgeable about the area, the history, and the cultural significance of the places we stopped and the activities we participated in. He went above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I had a positive experience. We are so grateful for the opportunity to explore this incredible country, and for the people who have put in so much effort to make sure we have a fabulous tour! Thank you so much to the team at Expedigo for the great communication before the tour as well- we knew exactly where to be and what to expect. If you are considering a tour, this one was a long day but an excellent experience!
