Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.★

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: From Auckland: Rotorua via Waitomo Caves One-Way Tour
Guest User2025-12-21
The experience was excellent. We really liked our guide, Liam, from the moment he picked us up, thanks to his kindness, his help with our luggage, and his punctuality. The tour was superb; Liam went out of his way to give us interesting information about the places we passed. When we arrived at Waitomo Caves, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and on the way out, we had the opportunity to visit an electrical substation that we didn't know was part of the itinerary, which we also really enjoyed. The transportation was very good and fast to our final destination.★

Reviews: Auckland: Rotorua Māori Village & Waitomo Caves with Lunch
Guest User2025-03-19
This is a very good tour provided by Expedigo via GetYourGuide. They use newer and comfortable vehicles. The group size is really small (6 max). Our tour guide/driver, John is very friendly and shared his information throughout the journey. Highly recommend this Waitomo caves and the Māori village tour!!★

Reviews: Auckland: Waitomo Caves & Te Puia Rotorua w Picnic Lunch
Guest User2026-01-01
This was a great tour. The only day that worked for our itinerary was New Year’s Eve, which wasn’t ideal. But our guide, David, was very engaging and super knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting info about New Zealand as a whole, and the specific areas were passing through - history, geography, culture, people, etc. I really can’t say enough positive things about him. The tour ran very smoothly in spite of the heavy rain, and we made it back to Auckland with plenty of time to have a quick dinner and ring in the new year at the sky tower. Highly recommend!
