A great day out

Published on Jan, 2025

A fantastic tour. Pete, our driver, was kind, knowledgeable, entertaining and informative. Everything was so well organised and explained and the almost brand new mini bus was luxurious. A great small tour.

Awesome Day!

Published on Oct, 2024

We are now home but I wanted to say, on behalf of our group of 8 people, we'd like to say a big "Thank you to Philippa Dean" for coming down to the Restaurant in Auckland, to take our money and make the reservations for us to the Rotorua & Hobbiton. It was a Very Enjoyable Day for us ALL! We have to say "Darryl" was SUCH A PLEASURE to have as our 1. Driver and 2. Such a Knowledgeable Guide and Excited to inform us all of how proud he is of his Country. He told us a lot of things both up and back for our 2 tours, 12 1/2 hour Day. We just wanted you to know how comfortable we were in the Vehicle, our stop for a bite to eat at "The Ally Cat", his information during the whole day was amazing! We will definitely recommend your company for anyone going to Auckland, New Zealand. Bradshaw's, Donohue's, Wardle's and Bellerive's.
