Early morning pickup at hotels are a great benefit but be on time....one was almost left behind for being 5 minutes late--it's tight for time so pickups have to be timely since 2 of the sights have specific times. We loved all 3. The glow worm was most amazing and Hobbiton was perfect and the lunch at the Rotorua geyser area was truly superb with local Maori food prep. Comfy bus was appreciated.

Great 3 stop tour! Kelly was a great host and very kind to fellow passengers that made him repeat information when they didn't listen the first time. The caves were other worldly! Biggest geyser in southern hemisphere. Hobbiton movie set was a great tour too! Well worth the price! Take a pillow to nap between stops.

Our driver Ron was very knowledgeable and informative which made the tour enjoyable. Overall the tour was good value for money. The buffet lunch at Rotorua is plentiful with a wide variety of good quality tasty food. It is a long day tour but there is plenty to see and do that breaks up the time spent traveling on the bus.
