What are people saying about Auckland

SYLVIE_M, Nov 2026

It’s definitely worth the trip!

What a great experience! It was a long ride, but the vehicle was very comfortable and our driver was fantastic. He kept us informed the whole time. We made a quick stop halfway through, so in the end it didn’t feel too long. It was a small group, which made it interesting. During the tour of the first cave—where we saw the glow-worms—it was pitch black; yes, you can take photos, but without a flash, it’s harder to get good shots. Our guide was also great! Very informative, funny, and happy to take photos of us. We really enjoyed it and recommend this activity—it’s definitely worth the trip!

Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with lunch from Auckland

Colleen_M, Nov 2026

This was a fun and...

This was a fun and magical experience as someone who has been a fan of the movies and books for years. Even if you aren’t a fan of the movies, it is such a well done and beautiful place, I think you should visit. James, our guide, was knowledgeable about Hobbiton and made the whole tour fun. Our bus driver Todd was fun and also knowledgable about things on the road that we may find interesting. I would recommend both if you are thinking about taking this tour.

This was an amazing...

This was an amazing adventure for our family from the US. Nelson, our tour guide, did a terrific job and shared lots of great tidbits about the sites we were going to visit and things we passed on our van ride. The glow worm caves were magical and Hobbiton was stunning! A great way to spend the day. Thank you!

2025 Award Winning: Auckland City Highlights Half Day Tour

William_C, Nov 2026

Great half day tour

This was an excellent half day tour. While the sights were technically in the large city of Aukland, they were away from the CBD. We drove across the Aukland Bridge and toured Devonport and other parts of the North Island and drove to the top of Mt. Eden. Be aware, however, that driving up is only permitted with seniors on the tour. Others have to walk, and that is a long uphill walk. Shawn was personable, informative and helpful. Highly recommended!

Auckland to Waitomo Glowworms, Kiwi House & Blue Springs Day Tour

Ralf_R, Nov 2026

Anyone who wants to be enchanted should choose this excursion.

The tour was very interesting. We were a small group of different nationalities. The boat trip in the Glowworm Cave is an absolute highlight. Spotting a kiwi in the kiwi house put a smile on all of our faces. The nature is enchanting. This excursion is highly recommended. Our tour guide had a lot of information for us.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch

Melissa_K, Nov 2026

It is a long day, but...

It is a long day, but well worth it. Both the Caves and Hobitton are tour only. This trip takes care of the planning, you just have to show up and enjoy the ride! Our Bus driver, Todd was great! Good stories and quite amusing. Lunch is basic, but satisfactory. You can bring additional snacks/drinks on the bus or purchase them at either stop. Plan for weather variations: it is chilly in the caves but can be hot, if sunny, at Hobitton ( they do have umbrellas for sun/rain available for guest use). It is not a great deal of walking, but good walking shoes are recommended

Auckland: Rotorua Tour with Waiotapu, Te Puia and Maori Haka

Sydney_B, Oct 2026

Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend this tour of the North island!! Our guide Jason was friendly, knowledgeable, and quite witty which made the trip even better! The views are breathtaking and each stop is unique and adventurous. We had coffee and meat pies, walked through the geothermal park (a major highlight) and even learned about the Maōri culture at Te Puia. This tour accommodates everything and is well worth the cost!!

Hobbiton and Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour with Lunch from Auckland

recco3, Oct 2026

A fantastic day

Both visits exceeded my expectations. Arriving at the Hobbiton set and seeing large buses full of people leaving, I was shocked at the mere idea of touring the whole set on a bus. Instead, they took us to the starting point and let us see the whole set in complete tranquility; it was truly pleasant. The tour in the caves was very unique; this boat ride in the dark looking at all these little creatures that illuminated everything, it felt like being under the starry sky in the desert. And what about Liam, our guide? Although I unfortunately do not speak English, I can state that he is a very professional person and that not only does he have in-depth knowledge of the places, but it is clear that he also has a passion for his work, and this involves the whole group, which is a fundamental factor for the success of an organized group trip. As I had already mentioned, I unfortunately do not speak English; for this reason, I allow myself to suggest that the agency also make small brochures containing the most relevant information about the different places that are visited.

The truth is that it is worth taking these tours, the guide is very kind and friendly, he even considers if we stop for the bathroom halfway there. They drive very well and the vans have seat belts and are clean, depending on the tour you have snacks and water along the way. I do not regret traveling with them!

John_D, Oct 2026

Must see visit to Hobbiton and Waitomo

We had a wonderful day with Clint. He was very knowledgeable about the tour and surrounding area. The visit to Hobbiton village was magical, just amazing! The glow worms at Waitomo caves were spectacular, never seen that before. A fair amount of driving was involved but it was nice to see so much of the countryside.
