What people are saying about Auckland
Fantastic our guide David was very enjoyable!
Wonderful small group tour, great choices of wineries, our lunch at Stoneyridge was amazing. We had a meat and cheese platter for 2 people that could have fed 6 people. The wines were great as well as the service, highly recommend this tour!
Phenomenal! What a way to relax and get to and from hobbiton
The guide was fantastic, loved all the info about new zeland and the movie set on the way, and the movie set was great.
Incredible package, definitely worth it.
First of all our guide from Auckland Scenic Tours (Tyler) was amazing. He was super knowledgeable and very obviously enjoyed his job! Secondly, Hobbiton itself and our guide there as well (Ole) were nothing short of our very high expectations. The Waitomo Glowworm Caves were the perfect way to close out the day. One of the best day adventures I’ve had in a long time!
Busdriver (Sue) and Tourguide have been so perfect!
I really loved this tour! Our Busdriver Sue was funny and so lovely! I got sooo much information about NZ and Hobbiton. The tour was well organised and Hobbiton guide Vanessa was really funny. I had one of the best days of my trip there. Big thanks and I highly recommend this tour!
Great tour and wonderful friendly, knowledgeable guide, Kelly!
Flexi Tours did a fine job with Kelly, our guide. It was a fun and interesting trip visiting Hobbiton and Rotorua. Would certainly recommend this one day adventure to and from Auckland.
