Private Tour [2 Days]: Auckland to Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, Te Puia & Wai-O-Tapu

Hello, I have really appreciated this trip and the guide is very nice. He shared with us lot of tips and information during the driving. I used to be confront with scams in my previous experience with a tour operator but nothing to worry about this trip in small group. Easy to find the car it is written experiencekart on it :)

We are really glad we chose this private tour. My daughter and I only had 3 full days in New Zealand and really had to make the most of our short time. I did a lot of research and came upon Experiencekart's well curated itineraries. I started communicating via email with Karthik and he was always extremely responsive. He picked us up promptly from our hotel and had a nice giftbag with snacks and drinks for us. Khartik was always very considerate of our comfort needs along the way and shared helpful insights for the area with us. All of the stops were perfectly coordinated and organized. At our request he stopped at souvenir shops, post office, he took us to the Hell's Gate spa with hot mud and sulfur pools after our first day of the tour and waited for us to take us back to our hotel. I can't say enough great things about the experience provided by Khartik! Now about the venues, we absolutely loved all of the sites we visited. The Waitomo caves were fascinating, Rotorua extremely beautiful and unique with the sulfur springs all over. Wai-o-tapu geothermal park was absolutely gorgeous. The living Maori village was not to be missed, we enjoyed the cultural experience in the village immensely. We finished the tour on a high note with the last stop being Lady Knox Geyser. We as so happy we could visit and experience all these amazing places in such a short time. We could not have done it without this tour.

I was traveling to New Zealand as a solo traveler so I was unable to book with many of the tour companies because of the 2 person min requirement and also the timing of my trip did not fit within many of their preplanned schedules. Karthik was able to tailor an itinerary that fit my schedule actually allowing me to see more than I would had I tried to book through other travel agencies in the short amount of time I was in New Zealand. The booking process was very easy I was able to provide them with the things I wanted to see and they were able to build a schedule to fit my needs. After finalizing my itinerary I received a detailed copy along with follow up emails to make sure everything was setup and ready to go. The vehicle we traveled in was a Toyota Land Cruiser that was very nice and clean and Karthik was a great driver, he also provided a very nice welcome bag full of snacks and goodies for the trip. During my trip he was a great traveling companion giving he history and facts about the areas we were traveling through and answering all my questions about New Zealand. During my travels when we had a few minutes to spare Karthik took the time to show me other places along the route that held historic and/or scenic significance because he knew I was up for learning new things and seeing all the things I could see in my short time their. I really appreciate the time and effort that Karthik put into providing me with a great experience during my time in New Zealand. I hope I am able to return soon and will definitely be booking more trips with Experience Kart.
