Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!★

Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.★

Reviews: Queenstown: Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Full-Day Trip
Guest User2026-01-28
Our trip was excellent. We had an expert guide in Brendan who was professional friendly and very engaging. The trip has a lot of driving but Brendan made light work of it by relating lots of interesting facts along the way. We made a lot of stops for sightseeing and comfort. The countryside was beautiful even before you got to the World Heritage Site. Milford Sound was enjoying a sunny day so the whole area was lovely. Not many waterfalls because of little rainfall but plenty of wildlife. The boat and lunch were very enjoyable.★

Reviews: Milford Sound Cruise from Queenstown or Te Anau
Guest User2024-05-30
While this is a long day on a bus, Barry our driver did a fabulous job, enduring we were comfortable and pacing stops for food breaks and photo shoots. We were thrilled to see the young Kea in the wild! Our cruise was very enjoyable particularly since the boat took us up close to the cliffs & waterfalls. The sun shone & Fjordland, the forests, mountains, rivers & plains were truly amazing to experience.
