A great day; highly recommend.

Published on Mar, 2025

This was an awesome day visiting two of New Zealand‘s best unique sites. Our bus driver/tour guide was excellent telling us all about New Zealand and the two sites on the way.

Great day trip

Published on Mar, 2025

It’s a long day but really nice to see the NZ countryside. Good food, fun and entertaining. Driver and guides are the best! Hobbit town and the glow worms are both worth the time and are a value to see.

Excellent tour , well worth the trip
