Cheeky Michael takes Northern Californians to Hobbiton and Glow Worm cave

A great full day tour to Hobbiton, even if you aren't a Lord of the Rings fan, and the Glow Worm caves. Cheeky Michael had informative comments along the way and even added some extras...a swinging bridge, an ostrich, and a stop for ice cream.
Glad we booked this trip

Enjoyed our trip with Ale, who was very funny and easy going. Well organized, lots of opportunities to buy snacks along the way. It was well organized, and I'm glad we did this trip, instead of trying to navigate it on our own.

He is forever patient and helpful in answering all our questions and address our requests. He shares all the interesting facts and history, plus the local New Zealand cultural customs!

We had a wonderful time on this itinerary. Our guide, Dave, was excellent. We hesitated going on another group tour based on our previous experience with a different company with guests coming back late. But Dave was great with emphasizing the importance of being on time for the group. Our trip went off without any problems. Dave was very informative and helpful throughout the entire trip. The company was very responsive to my inquiries and was clear on pickup time and location.
