Kelly was a great guide

Great 3 stop tour! Kelly was a great host and very kind to fellow passengers that made him repeat information when they didn't listen the first time. The caves were other worldly! Biggest geyser in southern hemisphere. Hobbiton movie set was a great tour too! Well worth the price! Take a pillow to nap between stops.

Great value tour

Our driver Ron was very knowledgeable and informative which made the tour enjoyable. Overall the tour was good value for money. The buffet lunch at Rotorua is plentiful with a wide variety of good quality tasty food. It is a long day tour but there is plenty to see and do that breaks up the time spent traveling on the bus.

A great and well organised tour for these three must-see places

This tour shows all these three must-see places in the best way possible. Our guide/driver Daryl was super in providing information on all these three stops and gently organized all of us in the tour so that we could be on time in all those stops. He is knowledgeable, amiable and a true gentleman. We were very happy and satisfied with this 13 hour tour.

Long, but worth it. In one day you get to visit 3 excellent locations/sights. Lunch was very good as well.
Response from Host , Mar 2020
Thanks for your review! Yes it can be a long day - This tour is designed for people who dont have a lot of time in the country but would like to see all 3 big tourist attractions. Glad to hear you enjoyed your lunch at Te Puia. We look forward to having you travel with us again in the near future. Kind regards, Serhan.

Our guide Darryl ( hope spelling his name correct) was the most efficient guide I have ever seen. We covered three major points in a day and he explained everything so well that we still keep on thinking about the trip. I am going to recommend about this to my friends and family. One of the Best guided trip!

Hobbiton is amazing, and the stories the guide shares is fascinating! Rotorua geysers are a spectacular sight + seeing a Kiwi was a treat! Waitomo Caves were made special thanks to the guides commentary!

A must see for lord of the rings fans. Beautiful place! The worm caves were just OK. The bus was comfortable.
The guide didn't do too much talking, which was a shame for a long drive. There are some very nice but super quick stops along the way.
The scenery is breathtaking.
