Trip to Rotorua and Hobbiton was amazing. We got excellent weather and both places we could do in a nice pace. Karthik our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He was on time and arranged all the tickets. It was a private tour and we got ample time to stop for food. Rotorua restaurants does gets crowded at lunch time. So plan accordingly. Hobbiton was mesmerizing specially if you are LOTR fan. Overall great experience and we are so glad we booked through experiencekart. I will highly recommend them.
