Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!★

Reviews: Queenstown: Milford Sound Coach & Cruise Full-Day Trip
Guest User2026-02-24
We did a tour to Milford Sound last week and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the trip was made even better by our driver, Scarlet. Scarlet was fantastic — she shared lots of interesting trivia about the places we visited along the way, which made the journey much more engaging. She also had a great sense of humour, kept everyone entertained, and created a really relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on the bus. Thanks to her, the long drive felt shorter and more memorable. We truly enjoyed!★

Reviews: Queenstown: Nevis Bungy - Australasia's Biggest Bungy!
Guest User2026-02-25
Seemed a lot of money at first, then you realise it’s actually good value considering the amount of work and people involved to make it all happen. The customer service by the Nevis bungy team is excellent too.★

Reviews: Queenstown, New Zealand - Milford Sound / Piopiotahi Scenic Helicopter Tour with Two Snow Mountain Landings (Cruise Not Included)
Guest User2025-10-06
We adjusted our itinerary due to weather, but thankfully it cleared up the day we left Queenstown.
The experience was unique, landing on a snowy mountaintop. The pilot was fantastic, and most importantly, it saved us a lot of time.
However, the weather in the South Island can be unpredictable, so if you choose the helicopter option, I recommend staying in Queenstown for a few days.
