5.00Very well coordinated day! Having takeaway lunch organized at the caves made for an easier transition. And even as someone not so familiar with Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Hobbiton was so impressive! A worthwhile experience.
Absolutely book it for Glow-worms cave and LOTR afficiandos!

5.00This company keeps everything organized well. Pick up meeting point, instructions for disembark and transitions, all the rules on the bus were all very well explained by David, our Coach Driver and Guide. He got us on all places on time and had so many stories and jokes to enrich the narration experience of buildings going out of Auckland, the rich Māori heritage and other historical references on the way. Super cool person. Thank you DAVID! Five stars from us
