I’m not a LOTR fan so didn’t expect to enjoy this. But from seeing how it was built and the set up I must say I was relatively impressed. May even inspire me to watch the films.

This is quite a challenging tour as it requires complex planning to ensure that all three attractions can be done in the same day. Add to that the fact that it was a busy time of the year (few days after Christmas). The tour was planned quite well and Kris, from Black Car Transfers kept us up to date as he was finalizing the details. He was prompt picking us up from the hotel for what was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the conversation, the carefully chosen snacks and the cold refreshments. We covered all we wanted to cover (Waitomo, Hobbiton and Rotorua) and returned to our hotel in Auckland late in the evening. We highly recommend it!

It was excellent experience with super skill driver and happy chatting on the way. Recommended to any one who need service. He tried hard to meet all activity within tight scheduled time. And we all had safe and happy day with beautiful New Zealand green velly all the way to and back.
