My Rotorua day tour went well. Matt came on time and he explained how the day will go. We made stops to make long drive easier. He is very experienced we did reach target spots just on time, no waiting nor queuing. It was raining most of the day but umbrellas were available all the time. It was a long day but exceeded my expectations.
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re really glad you had a great day with Matt and that everything ran smoothly, especially with the rain. It’s great to hear that the stops along the way made the long drive more comfortable and that Matt kept everything on track so you could get to each spot without waiting around. We’ll definitely pass this on to him. And we’re very happy to hear the day exceeded your expectations! Thank you for choosing Expedigo and supporting our small family-run business.

I booked this tour literally almost last minute. It was a wonderful ride through the gorgeous NZ countryside. The geysers and hot springs were an incredible sight. Aaron Is one of the most informative and knowledgeable guides I've ever had. It's a pleasure to take a tour with someone that passionate about sharing their culture, home, and history. Aaron went above and beyond to make sure our group got every bit of our money's worth on this tour. God bless you Aaron! You rule dude!!👊

We were picked up on time at our hotel. It was a comfortable minivan with a group of 14 or so. The drive was pleasant and we spent adequate time at each stop to enjoy the places. The entrance fees were covered. Waitapu and Tepuia were great! Enjoyed Māori performances and craft center. Our Guide Jason was patient and amazing! I definitely recommend.

From the timely pick up from Jamie at the Hotel and the all the way and back was incredible. The journey was easy, relaxed and safe. Jamie guiding skills were brilliant, his knowledge second to none. Rototua walk was breathtaking, serene. Then Waiotapi journey was equally inspiring, the learning was unparalleled. Understating the Māori culture intimately is not to be missed. The combination of the three in one tour was seamlessly coordinated and executed well by Jamie. If I would ever bring my family God willing, this experience is not to be missed.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear that you felt comfortable and relaxed from the moment Jamie picked you up through to the journey home. We’ll definitely share your kind words with Jamie. It’s wonderful to hear that his knowledge and guiding made such a difference and that you enjoyed learning more about the Māori culture alongside the geothermal wonders of Rotorua. Most of all, we love hearing that you’d bring your family back to experience it too. As a small family-run business, that means a great deal to us.
