Exceptional experience with Paul! - We had an incredible time with Paul as our guide. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable. He went completely out of his way to show us extra sites we hadn't even expected to see, which really made the trip feel special. His passion for the area is obvious, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Personalised and fun day trip - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Hobbiton and Te Puia. Our tour guide Warren was a wealth of local knowledge about NZ’s countryside and culture. Warren also made sure we were on the first tour into Hobbiton which was a very special experience. Awesome end to our stay in NZ!

A full day experience around Auckland - Great tour day with Angelo! He picked up up promptly at the meeting point and drove us down to Hobbiton while explaining some of Auckland's history, industry, and scenery. We had a phenomenal tour around the movie set and then drove down to the thermal hot spring. However, lunch was not provided even though it was listed on the "What's Included" breakdown. Next was the Te Puia Maori cultural center where we caught a glimpse of the kiwi birds, learned about the healing properties of Rotorua mud, saw the biggest geyser in the southern hemisphere, and learned all about Maori crafts. Angelo was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the tour, got us water and snacks in between stops, and showed us a local town and river on the drive back into the city. A truly wonderful day totally worth the price. A must do for first time visitors like us!
