It was a wonderful experience in the caves but the driving was quite reckless at times... We would have appreciated a little more prudence on the wheel.

Alfredo was a good driver and gave us good information. We took the one way trip to Rotorua and the geothermal stop was not part of our trip. The caves were good but basically it was a bus ride to Rotorua

It was a pleasant time spent. The tour description gave the total time of the trip if you include the Te Puia also. We didn’t include the extra and we were done by 1 pm. It was a great way to get from Auckland to Rotorua.
