Reviews: Rotorua Small-Group Day Tour from Auckland
Guest User2026-01-05
Excellent, lively and knowledgeable driver cum guide Bunty who not only shared immensely useful Information but kept us entertained through his anecdotes and engaging conversations. Went out of the way to give us unique experience of visiting the swinging bridge and accommodated a request to visit a friend to say hello and yet kept the time. Given the start was very early, he ensured that we have brief stop for coffee and snack before heading out to first of the two engagements for the day. This itself made the visit memorable additional to visit to glow worm caves and visit to Geysers and sumptuous lunch. Overall a fantastic trip…Kudos to FlexiToursNZ who kept their words of keeping the vehicle suited for small group with comfortable seats.
Reviews: From Auckland: Rotorua Māori Village & Activity Combinations
Guest User2026-02-15
Our day trip to Rotorua and the Maori Village was tons of fun. Our guide, Jason, was fabulous! Full of information and extremely accommodating, continually making sure we were all okay. He kept us apprised about the schedule and what to expect next and how to meet back up with him. The Maori Village Tour was also excellent. Our guide, Phillip, was very humorous and taught us a great deal about the Maori history and culture. Included in the village tour was a full Haka and other performances that were very informative and entertaining. It was all very pleasurable. Although we had already experienced the Waiotapu Wonderland and the fabulous Redwood Treewalk separately, I'm sure they were fun as part of this tour as well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting experience Rotorua and learn about the Maori.
Reviews: From Auckland, New Zealand: Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tours
Guest User2025-01-08
Hobbiton is a magical experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Nestled in the stunning rolling hills of Matamata, it feels like stepping straight into Middle-earth. The attention to detail is remarkable—every hobbit hole, garden, and prop is immaculately maintained, making the set feel alive and authentic. The guided tour is informative, blending behind-the-scenes stories with insights into how the set was created. The highlight is the Green Dragon Inn, where you can enjoy a refreshing ale or ginger beer brewed exclusively for Hobbiton. The staff are passionate and friendly, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Whether you’re a Tolkien fan or just enjoy unique, picturesque experiences, Hobbiton is worth the visit. It’s a truly enchanting destination that brings the magic of the movies to life!
Reviews: Waitomo Caves & Rotorua - Te Puia Small-Group Tour from Auckland
Guest User2024-07-30
Such a great trip! Grant (or Grant but in a kiwi accent) was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the culture and history during the long van rides. Glowworm caves were cool but the highlight for me was definitely the geysers. The whole experience was great and am so grateful that they offer a trip like this including transport since Rotorua is quite a distance away. Note: this experience did not include a Māori performance or haka. If I read the description better I wouldve known that but that is the only thing I was a little bummed about. The experience is great, but just note what is actually included if thats what you are looking for.

It was wonderful I wish I had more time for more of the tours. I wished there was a longer visit to the gift store. 30 mins just was not long enough. However it did surpass my expectations. Loved loved loved this trip!
