We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were picked up half an hour after our schedule time, but apart from that, the tour was great. Bus driver was informative, and all places we visited welcomed us and were professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour at all.

This was a great way to see this area of New Zealand. Our bus driver was excellent and seemed to know a lot about the area he was driving us to.

The tour was excellent. The Waitomo Caves were awesome. The Maori Center was also very good.

The seasoned traveller will be surprised to find that the day trip to the Waitomo Caves and Rotorua is a long one, but well worth the effort. You can choose to get off at Hobbiton if you wish or continue on and be treated to a guided tour of a New Zealand farm. At the Agrodome you get very close t

A long bus trip, but we packed in a lot in 13 hours - would not have seen this much if we tried to do on our own. A lot of great commentary and insights from the driver!

It was a great trip with one major flaw. The lunch pack picked up at the Waitomo Caves was quite OK with nice sandwiches. The pack picked up at Rotorua was a shocker with a roll that was wet and inedible. That was for the 3 hour trip back to Auckland. Apart from that the day was great.

Nice trip. Unfortunately I would have liked to have spent more time in Rotorua as on this tour you don't have enough time, only an hour when they recommend you spend 3 hours at the park. However being it was only a day trip and everything else that was included i understand. Less time with the sheep and more time at Rotorua would have been my choice. The glow worm cave is wonderful, though you can't take pictures inside the cave =( ... But the glow worms are beautiful... Rotorua is interesting, and you get to learn about the Maori as well. Definitely worth this trip!
