Best day in New Zealand

Nancy_A, Dec 2022

Worth every dollar! What a perfect trip this was. We were picked up on time in a very comfortable SUV which had comfortable pillows and light Wei blankets for comfort. The guide Kristi was wonderful. She is part native Māori and spent travel time telling us about her culture. When we arrives for tour she organized our lunch so it would be ready after the tour and kept it and purchase at store safe while we took tour. Hobbit town was so cute and was perfect for photos. Cookie the tour guide told us the behind the scenes stories about how the movies were filmed. When we came down to the green dragon Kristi meet us and took photos of everyone in our group at multiple locations and then into the green dragon for drinks and more photo opportunities. Then into the car for trip to the glow worm cave. Our meal was ready and beverages cold. There were also snacks and drinks available included. The glow worms were so awesome. My mouth hung open with how many there were. So bight and beautiful. No photos are to be taken which was disappointing but there was a really nice gift shop to get books or postcards and gifts. Kristi kept us on time and back to cruise terminal on time with time to get into gift store by cruise ship. Every step of the way we were well taken care of, offered toilet breaks, snacks and comfort. Great team and wonderful staff. Can’t thank them enough for the best day we had in New Zealand!
