    I was so happy to meet good guides and members in New Zealand, my first time visiting!💕 The fireflies I met at Waitomo Caves were like stars falling from the sky, and I enjoyed Hobbiton and Hamilton Gardens thanks to the clear skies! It was a more memorable trip because the guide explained New Zealand's history and the places we visited well like Dr. Cheokcheok! I'll probably come back next time I visit again! Thank you for making it a great trip!!👍

    It was a trip I took with friends, and I was very satisfied. It was a fruitful day trip as the guide gave detailed explanations, took lots of pictures, and pointed out key points for each place. It was great to see so much in one day! I had a good night's sleep thanks to my safe driving. thank you :)

    Planning a trip in Korea... I blinked and didn't make a reservation and searched for the local tour of Buryaburiya. Fortunately this spot remained and was well used. The cave was good, but it wasn't a photo or video footage. Hobbit Village was really great. The weather only rains while moving, and the sun shines during observation. It was a beautiful scene. It was good that there wasn't a lot of people. Finally, the clear water of the Blue Springs was really a hilling walking course. The guide was also very slim and a good person was assigned so that our three families were able to travel very comfortably. We give you a lot of information and personal stories about New Zealand's social and economic situation. Above all, my child is eight years old, so I was so grateful that he looked beautiful even when he sometimes made strange sounds or acts. And when we returned, we were very grateful for helping our three tired families sleep and move. Thank you for making good memories for our three families. Always be healthy and win!

    The Glowworm Caves and Hobbiton were outstanding experiences. Unfortunately our driver Sharma texted his change in arrival time to us at almost 11:00pm the night before our tour after we were asleep. Also during our tour he pulled the car to the side of the very busy motorway to take a telephone call, drove above the speed limit and did not seem to know much about the areas we drove through. He was courteous but silent most of the day.

  • fantastic trip with steven bong

    It was so grateful to meet steven bong. He gave us a lot of information of traveling in Newzealand not only in auckland but whole part of newzealand, so that we could enjoy our whole trip! :-) He also gave us some options to make our tour colourful. (have a lunch at other place, grab some coffee in the way and etc) He was the best guide I've ever met.

    I booked the same item at Cheeky kiwi travel in September for a cheaper price, but it was suddenly cancelled just before the trip in December. I got in touch with Stephon when I was embarrassed, and thanks to my lovely guide, I had a great time with him. In fact, I thought it was a little expensive, but today it was a quality tour that was enough! It was a very fun and happy time. I would like to say thank you very much to Joseph Guide. I also gave you a lot of New Zealand honey tips and I think I was able to enjoy it twice as much!!! May you thrive!!

    The Hobbit Village and the Whitomo Cave Tour with Stephen Guide. When the tour was requested, I asked for a Korean guide and went on tour with Stephen. It was so nice to pick up your stay at the Auckland hostel and it was so good to be able to use your private tour schedule smoothly. Steve Guide took care of us who know nothing about New Zealand! Thanks to the guide, we were able to travel well around the corner and look forward to the photos taken by the guide! On the way home, I talked about Korean cuisine, and this seems to be an unforgettable memory. I was very impressed by recommending a route or place after the Hikhik tour. The travel service is even more exciting and YouTube subscribes!

  • The best travel spot I've ever been in NZ

    First, we went to Hobbiton. From there, we saw lots of Hobbit houses. There were lots of clothes hanging from the dryer. It was very cute because it was very small and was looking just like clothes that hobbits would wear. Second, we went to bluesprings. The water's color was amazing and it was very beautiful. It was green, blue,and it was a little bit yellow. It was the best water I've ever seen in my life! Third we went to a cave with a bunch of glowworms living there. It was amazing! This was the first time i saw it! I loved it! I really recommand you to buy this. This is not a waste of money and it is very worth it!

    Tupac booked the tour as a trip and was quite satisfied. It's a short schedule and if you didn't book a tour, it would be hard to see everything. Blue Spring was the best and lunch was delicious. And the guide takes the photos hard. It was a long time to get to the car, but the guide wasn't worried.
