Drive to the cave from Auckland was a bit long, but the driver was friendly and talkative. The glow worm cave was impressive and with seeing.

Kris was not only an amazing driver, but an amazing tour guide while driving several hours. He accommodated my food allergy and provided me with an abundance of knowledge enroute to my tour destinations. He was punctual and on time for everything we had planned. He always checked in to see if I needed anything— to and from our destinations. If you want a fantastic, personal trip, I highly recommend Black Car Transfers and Tours!

We had a limited amount of time in New Zealand and wanted to see as much as we could in a short amount of time. Therefore, we decided to look for a private tour (as opposed to a large bus tour) that could get us to several places in one day. We could not have been more pleased with Kris and Black Car Transfers. We booked online for a tour the very next day. Within 30 minutes, Kris called to advise tickets were sold out for the Waitomo Glowworm Caves listed in the description, but Kris went the extra mile and found an alternate cave tour that had availability. We are so glad we took his suggestion. Ruakuri Caves was incredible! It was a 90-minute walking tour (not via boat like Waitomo) but this one was better for us. You could get close to the cave structures and glowworms (of course without touching them) and could also take photographs there (without flash). After finishing this tour, we headed to Rotorua. The extended cave tour kept us from getting lunch at the intended location (or we'd be late for our Rotorua booking) so Kris asked what we would like to eat and quickly found a wonderful sushi restaurant where we were able to get fabulous food to go. Kris had to pivot several times to make our tour work on such short notice and he impressed us every time! The luxurious car was stocked with water and a multitude of fresh fruit and snacks. The tour from start to finish was twelve hours (with pick-up and drop-off at our Auckland hotel) and we enjoyed every minute!
