Mary our guide toured us from Auckland up and back very safely and swiftly. Aside from that we learned so much about the local culture, about the history and about the country. At the end Mary helped to reserve a dinner table at a local dish restaurant where we finished a lovely first day in New Zealand. Mary made this day remarkable and we won’t forget this experience. Thank you !

Fun Day
Alan was professional, knowledgeable, informative, thoughtful and friendly. However one of the staff members (Winter) at the Glow Worm Cave was rude and unprofessional.

Kia Ora Patty,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that Alan delivered the professional, thoughtful, and informative experience we strive for, he will truly appreciate your kind words.
We’re sorry to hear about your interaction with a staff member at the Glowworm Cave. While the cave experience is operated by the attraction provider, that certainly isn’t the standard of hospitality we hope our guests receive. We’ll pass this feedback on to the cave management team so they’re aware.
We truly appreciate you travelling with us and are grateful for your honest comments.

Excellent - Commendable
Alan was our tour guy . He was very professional . He was on time this morning . On the way he explained everything to us every step away. He talked about New Zealand about certain areas answered to our questions . The weather was nice I recommend Alan to anyone who wants to hire private duty tour driver. He even had small snack for us even though we stopped twice for coffee and toilet breaks .

Hobbiton and Glow Worms
We embarked on an exhilarating fun adventure with an exceptional tour guide. The caves were fascinating, and the Hobbiton experience was truly remarkable, just as depicted in the movie. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great fun!
Great tour! Mike S. Was our driver and commentary to both sites. He was great with commentary about the local area to and from both Hobbiton and Waitomo. He was detailed with information on what was to occur and our timeframe at each place.The ride was filled with good laughs and good company. Hobbiton was magical. The caves fascinating. New Zealand is a beautiful country and the ride to the area was well worth it. It would’ve been fun to stop and take photos of sheep and or cows. l highly recommend this tour! I

Kia Ora Eduardo, Thank you for choosing to book with ExperienceKart, it was an absolute pleasure to host you! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour to Hobbiton & Waitomo and we look forward to hosting you again! As you have booked one of our premium tours (offered as a fully guided private tour), the pricing reflects the quality of our offering and the lunch included in your tour was a kiwi cafe style lunch, however we did honour your request to dine in at a different restaurant and we understand your lunch was excellent! Once again, we thank you sincerely for being our guest and we sincerely thank you for choosing ExperienceKart for New Zealand Tours.
