“If you are a Lord of the Rings and/or Hobbit fan then this tour is a must do! The Hobbiton film set is absolutely beautiful. The tour there is quite lengthy and really worth it. The film set is also on its way to Rotorua where you can visit many attractions like Waiotapu. Being able to walk on your own and enjoy the scenery at your pace was great. The champagne pool was absolutely beautiful. Simon was fantastic! He made sure to give us a stop on the drive to/from Auckland each way to break up the drive a bit. It was a long day of driving for him but…”

“I had a fantastic time! I particularly loved Rotorua, and was really glad to be able to see it, particularly the Mitai evening and Waiotapu. I don't drive so this allowed me to see things I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Everything was organised so efficiently, especially considering people in the group were doing different things. I never had to worry about anything! The drivers and guides were all so friendly and knowledgeable. It *is* a lot of money to spend for just 3 days, but considering how much was included, I don't regret it!”

“We recently enjoyed a tour in New Zealand led by Hans, who provided an absolutely splendid experience. From the first moment, Hans proved to be more than just a guide: he was an exemplary host. He welcomed us with water and snacks, taking care of every detail to ensure we were comfortable throughout the journey. His knowledge of the area was impressive; he took us to scenic spots that weren’t on the original itinerary and always knew where to stop to capture the best photos. Hans offered to take the photos himself, which was a much-appreciated detail. He also organized tours where he waited for us at the end with…”
