Traveler reviews
My Amazing tour experience at Rotorua
I really enjoyed my visit, especially our tour guide, Dave. He made the tour so much fun and made sure to explain everything we were seeing along the way. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Rotorua is truly a must-visit destination—I absolutely loved my time here and can't wait to come back!
Worth it
Grant (a.k.a. "Enrique") was just wonderful throughout the tour. He shared the history of New Zealand and the neighbourhoods we drove through. The drive between each location was long but Grant ensured our safety and it was a very comfortable ride. The tours themselves were great - you can really tell the New Zealanders truly cherish their land and their culture.
Amazing glowworms and guide
We had an amazing time on this tour. Grant was an amazing tour guide. He was so informative and we learnt so much. He was a great driver too and expertly navigated through the sudden mists that formed on our way to Waitomo and never made the drive feel unsafe. Waitomo was magical and I recommend it as a can't miss to everyone considering their itinerary. We loved Te Puia and saw the geyser erupt and Maori art and craftsmanship as well. Overall, it was an amazing trip with a really considerate guide and I'd recommend both Grant and this tour to everyone.
