We had an incredible experience with Raymond who took us to Hobbiton and Waitomo. He had so much local knowledge and gave us the best tips throughout the day. He was so punctual and organized and it made the entire trip that much more enjoyable. Both excursions were INCREDIBLE and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Auckland for the first time.

It was all amazing, Hobbiton brought the movie to life and we had a beautiful day for photos. The tour operators and our driver John were all excellent. Also the caves were such a unique experience we enjoyed that tour as well. So glad we were able to do this.

One of the best tours we had in New Zealand. The scenery was incredible. We are all funs of “Lord of the Rings “ book and movie series. Therefore it’s very memorable to see the movie set with incredible details. It’s especially fascinating for our 11-year old son. The apple cider offered at the end of the tour was THE best I had ever tasted. The Waitomo glow worm cave gave us some extraordinary out of the world experience. The worms glowing in the dark almost like stars in the universe. Highly recommend.

The trip was very well organised and Jaime was very brilliant. He explained a lot of stories along the way and was ready with everything we would need on the trip - umbrellas etc. Both the Hobbiton and Waitomo cave experiences were amazing - very different but both must do.

We loved everything about the day. Our driver, Jason, did a favorite job keeping us informed and gave us knowledge about the day.
