First part is great. Last part on inter city bus ride was too long and boring. A waste of our day. Seems pricy

Great way to travel but a bit pricy. Our ride was to include a morning tour of Auckland but DID NOT which was very disappointing. Driver was great! Mini bus was very cramped but did have Wi-Fi.

On the first day our guide Peter was great!! He picked us up at our hotel and we went to Hobbiton - it was a great place to visit! The attention to detail was incredible and the lunch was terrific. Peter took us on an extra bush walk before the caves - it was beautiful and a great way to stretch a little! We then went to the glow worm caves - it was worth seeing. Then onto Rotorua. Our hotel was very nice and great location - close to lots of restaurants. The next day we went to a geo thermal Māori village and a cultural performance - very interesting. Had some free time that night so we went to the red woods at night - beautiful. The next morning we boarded the bus for a LONG drive to Wellington - but it was a great way to travel without having to rent a car. The following morning we finished with a city tour of Wellington - nice way to see the major sites of the city. Overall we would recommend this tour - just know there are some long travel times but it was worth it for us to not have to drive. Everything was very well coordinated and the guides, bus drivers and accommodations were great !
