Excellent trip. The caves were very interesting and the worms put on quite a show. Hobbiton was wonderful. The hobbit hole you could tour was so much fun. Grant our drive was fun and informative.

I was very impressed with John and his informative information and his humor. All of the stops were well planned out and exceeded my expectations. Now for the downside of the transportation. The van was definitely not well organized as in seating. The last two rows in the back were unbearable in sitting. 2nd from the back had a leg clearance of just 7.5 inches or 19cm. The very back seat had only 6.5 inches or 16.5cm using my phone length as a guide. All other rows were around 10 inches or 25.5cm. Last two rows are definitely not enough of leg clearance to sit and I found myself and the others in the back sitting side sadle the entire driving trip of at least 4 hours total time. I'm 5'11" (180cm) and it just didn't work. The other couple struggled much more with her legs being held up with her arms a lot of the time. I kept both my legs over the seat side and leg stayed numb most of the time. My recommendations are to arrange seating with people under 4'6" 138cm to sit in the rear two rows.

Hobbiton was a great experience and am amazed on how well maintained it is. The tour guide was knowledgeable and well trained to show us around and everyone in the tour is patient waiting for people to take photos before moving to the next stop.
While Waitomo cave can be skipped and it’s definitely overrated where you can’t take photos inside the cave and the boat ride was a joke to me as it’s basically the guide moving the boat inside the cave and we can only take photos towards the end which was not as easy given it’s dark

It was a good day out. Hobbitown as expected. The caves were a little disappointing as they’re not as glowy as you think.

Absolutely enjoyed Hobbiton. Guide Danilo was knowledgable and entertaining. I didnt know what to expect but was very pleased with the walking tour.
I was really looking forward to the Waitomo Caves but was very disappointed. Guide was informative but the underground boat ride to see the glowworms wasn’t a boat ride. We flowed for a short while, drifted back, got pulled forward and then flowed back to the entry point. Glowworms were difficult to see due to the woven holes of light overhead. A big thing was made about needing silence but other groups could be heard thruout the tour. Definitely what i expected.
My original order said that a kiwi style lunch was included. But we had to pay for our own. I was disappointed in that.
Driver was hard to hear - not sure if it was because we were in the back of the bus. On the plus side, he drove us safely to & from our destination.

Our tour guide John was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe and had a great experience. Hobbiton was fantastic, and the Waitomo Caves were beautiful! It was also great to learn about New Zealand and Auckland on the drive. Highly recommend!
