Amazing Experience

5.00Great experience. Our tour guide Adil, is very knowledgeable about Auckland. On our way to Hobbiton Movie Set, he gave us a lot of information about New Zealand history and Auckland, creating a wonderful experience. Our guide Steven, at Hobbiton was wonderful and made our experience memorable. We learned a lot during our day with Adil. Hobbiton was everything we anticipated. Waitomo Glowworms Caves were simply magical. Our tour guide there, not only kept us safe, he entertained us with his beautifully sung song in his language. It was an awe inspiring experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Auckland.
A Wonderful Day Trip

5.00We had a wonderful day together as a family with a small group of tourists. The Hobbiton movie set was beautiful and a must-go for movie lovers. The Waitomo cave was intriguing too where we got to see patches of glowworms shining in the quiet darkness. Our tour guide was very attentive and knowledgable - a big thank you for all the help and lovely snacks on the way :) It was all in all a great experience!
Fantastic Tour!
