ワイトモ洞窟2日、ホビトンとロトルア観光：オークランド発

Really worth staying overnight in Rotorua after a full day and the evening dinner Māori experience! Hobbiton on day two with an included lunch on site was a thrill.

This gets all of the highlights of the north island packed into a very small timeframe. I would suggest a relaxing day before or after booking this trip. The caves were the highlight of the trip. Seeing all those glow worms was like seeing all the stars on a pitch black night. Food was great and everything was very well organized.

Our bus drivers were very entertaining and informative. The tours were arranged well, and all the sites were worth visiting. The multiple changes from one bus to another between tours was a little unexpected, but for the most part the drivers did well explaining where to be for the next pickup. Had a great time and enjoyed it all.

We only had a few days in New Zealand so we had to make hard choices about how to spend our time. I was slightly nervous about the cost of this tour, but I am here to tell ya it was worth every penny. The company boasts of being flexible and rightly so. Logistics, shuttles, and transfers were perfect. The drivers and staff were pleasant and knowledgable. You just get a good feeling when your hosts love their county and enjoy sharing with visitors. Every activity and site was fun and educational at the same time. I have to say my big surprise was that we enjoyed Hobbiton so much. I have some movie catching up to do.

This tour was fantastic in the sights it went to and in its guides. It is a very full on tour with very little down time except for waiting for fellow travellers who do not respect that the tour has to be at specific places at specific times. However the drivers did do all they could to move those guests along. The other issues were the last bus driver who returned us to Auckland and seemed very tired and the uncertainty of knowing what was happening next as different tours had combined and we all had different itineraries. But all iin all an excellent value for money tour. Thank you

<p>Overall the trip was excellent. We saw a lot, learned a lot and had a great two days! My only comment is about the buses- going to the dinner and the return to Auckland part. Going back to Auckland- we were left at a bus station for about an hour and a half waiting for the bus after leaving MataMata. We had no idea what was going on. Going to the dinner we had one time in our itinerary for the bus - but when we went to get on they said we were on the next one, they didnt have our names. We were grateful for the extra time since the day was rushed and we wanted to change but it was a bit of a confused scramble. There are many drivers and routes and tours taking place on any given day so we were always questioning a little what bus we were supposed to be on. Also- the buses at the end of the day were very crowded that we had to sit at opposite ends of the bus if we wanted seats.</p>

<p>Excellent tour -fully recommend to future travelers!</p>

<p>One of the best organized trips I've ever been on! Everything ran on time, and when my husband and I were super impressed by how well we were looked after by everyone. Even when there was a change in schedule the staff organized it all in the background so my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we were looked after.<br/> My greatest fear on these types of trips is that I'll be forgotten by the tour bus, but this never happened. I easily could have spent more time in each of the places we stopped, but I was okay with this quicker pace as it meant we got to see more of the highlights.<br/> The only complaint my husband and I had was on the trip home we were picked up at a later spot than the majority of the tour group those who did the one day trip instead of the two day trip and remained on the same bus all day, and by that point the other guests had spread out across all the remaining seats, meaning that we were forced to sit apart. On the way out from Auckland, our bus driver had asked single travelers to sit together to allow couples and families seats together, but the bus driver on the way home not only refused, but started yelling at the person who asked her to do this, which put guests in the awkward spot of either having to ask other guests to move to a different seat, or splitting up for the drive home. A small annoyance amidst a wonderful trip, and I felt that particular bus driver was the exception rather than the rule. I would definitely book a tour with Viator again. I was very impressed with how well organized everything was.</p>

<p>Fabulous trip, pity it was a bit rushed in Rotarua. Hobbiton out of this world. Fabulous guide called Sarah</p>

<p>The tour was really nice and everything work on time. The places are unbearable! Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton movie set were the best!</p>
