Tweedaagse Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waitomo Caves Tour vanuit Auckland met accommodatie

Tour guides were amazing. We had 2 guides from FlexiTours and both were really helpful and friendly. If you ever get a chance to have Chris as your tour guide, he is very cheerful and engaging and will make sure you are adequately looked after. We had none English people travelling with us and even they could tell he was a cheerful guide through his body language and tone. Praises to our other guide from Rotorua, Maryanne, she was also amazing but Chris stood out just that little bit more and made our holiday trip that much more amazing.

Awesome true, amazing experience and got the chance to see most highlights on mainland New Zealand. I thought I would be missing out because I didn’t go to the southern islands, but it turns out I saw the most magnificent and breathtaking views and also historical landmarks like Hobbton and the glowworm caves as well as the Maori learning centers.

Everything you'll want to see - Hobbiton, Waitomo Glowworm caves, geyers, Maori cultural performance. Overnight stay at a very cute boutique hotel Regence of Rotorua - breakfast included. Van driver was friendly and amazing. I would highly recommend this tour!

This tour was fantastic! The communication between the drivers and tour guides was excellent. Every transfer was seamless. We felt very well taken care of. This trip included so many activities and we were able to add on a tree walk on the second day! I wish we would have upgraded the hotel but ultimately it was only one night and it was safe, just old. I highly recommend this trip and would absolutely book again with this company.

Make sure you eat on the last day, because lunch is not provided. There are good cafes available. Drivers are very kind and knowledgeable.

Although I am not a Lord of the Rings fan and did not know much about the particular settings from the movies; I sill had a nice day here. The location is lovely and the creations are fabulous. I also enjoyed going to the Green Dragon at the end of the tour and enjoying a glass of cider.

The two day trip was an efficient way of getting in some sights that were on our lists. The company handled all logistics and the drivers took great care of us. The sights themselves are quite touristy and honestly should not be on your bucket list. You get a much more sophisticated introduction to Maori history and culture at the Auckland memorial museum ( amazing place! Take a guided tour). If you’ve been to Yellowstone or Larsen you’ve seen better geysers. The glow worms were fabulous, but you get a max of ten minutes in the boat and I’m not sure it’s worth hours of travel. So: if like me you felt you had to do these things, this tour will get you there. But you are better off taking two days to hike or explore an area closer to where you are anyway.

We had an amazing time on this tour! While 2 days went by fast, we felt we had the time to enjoy each location completely. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and coordination between the guides was smooth for the most part. We had one small transfer hiccup and was able to call the main office and get back on track quickly. We definitely recommend the 2-day tour option with the morning off in Rotorua. It allowed us to enjoy a local hot springs spa!

It was really nice to have everything coordinated for me. Overall the tour went smoothly. I really loved Hobbiton and the Māori experiences. The pace did not feel rushed, but I still felt I got to see a lot. My only negative was with the free morning the second day. If I had known what the extra morning activities were, I would have happily booked one. It was never offered to me and I only found out from another traveler in my group. By then it was too late to book anything and it ended up costing more; plus I had to coordinate all the logistics of transfers. Better communication in this area would have made this a 5 star experience.

It was an amazing experience! We loved every part of the tour — Hobbiton, the geysers, the Mitai Maori Village, The Waitomo Glowworm Caves. The tour guides for each of the attractions are all so welcoming and they made sure we all had a great experience. Even the drivers we had bringing us from one place to another are all so wonderful and awesome. Definitely recommending this trip.
