4.00Dave was very serious about keeping a schedule. I’m a person who’s early everywhere I go but dave was a little excessive. We’d have 20 minutes at a stop and he’d be pushing us to get back on the bus at the 10 minute mark. Having said that we were able to see a lot of stuff and Dave did keep things moving. We truly enjoyed Hobbiton. We had a lovely tour guide there. The hobbit homes were so cool and the fact that it’s still on a working ranch is awesome. Even if you weren’t a fan of the LOTR movies, it’s worth seeing. The Waitomo caves were very cool and the staff there were knowledgeable and I was impressed by the boat guides ability to navigate the boat
