The tour was amazing andI would highly recommend it.
The only negative spot goes to the Viator Customer Service Support department: to confirm my pick-up time at the hotel I had to call several times (from Australia) and wait about 1 hour to speak with an operator...not to mention the cost of these calls! of course I tried to get an answer to this by email first, but I was kindly told to call and waste time and money. I'd suggest to provide the pick-up time by email as the majority of tour operators usually do.

Overall was a good trip which kept us busy all day. The bus was nice and the food was also great.

This was an awesome day! Hobbiton was great and the glow worm cave was amazing. I definitely recommend this tour. The only downside was there was a lot of bus changing and it was not always immediately clear where you needed to be. Despite that, both bus drivers were amusing and incredibly informative about New Zealand and LOTR trivia.

a long drive. however the coach is very comfy so no problem at all. the driver is very good, non-stop commentary except on return journey when most people have gone to sleep.
the waitomo caves is spectacular, been to the glow worm cave in australlia good coast. the waitomo caves have a lot more glow worms, and the boat ride is awesome.
The farm is ok but is more of a show piece, not the authentic farm we expect. but ok, another experience.
the maori village is fun too. the hot spring jet is ok too.
the whole trip is very nicely organised.
The Rotorua area is worth for a longer stay with the hotels with spas, the cable car and luge ride down. next time will spend more time in that area.
will recommend for those who do not drive around NZ

We really liked Hobbiton. The caves were too crowded for us, but still interesting. The first bus was great, but as we got moved around not all the buses were are nice as the first. Overall highly recommend.

Beautiful caves. Easy to walk inside them. Seeing the glowworms was a very nice sigthseing. Also the quiet river inside was peaceful. If you are fun of The Lord of the Ring movies, so you have to go, nice place, well care. You think you are long time ago.

This tour is great value for money! You visit Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, a maori museum (including dance performance), kiwi-bird sanctuary and a sheep farm (including shearing demo) all in 1 day. Food/drinks provided were delicious (covered me for breakfast/lunch/dinner). Driver had excellent commentary/driving skills.

This tour made my trip to New Zealand! We loved the caves and obviosuly LOVED Hobbiton, but what really made this tour was the friendly, knowledgeable tourguide! Completely worth every penny

This was an excellent tour. The day was very long, but we covered a lot of ground all of the stops were well done.
In particular, the Glow Worm caves were exceptional. At one point there were about 20 tourists in a boat in the dark cave and all of us were completely spellbound looking at the glow worms which resembled a night sky which was fully of constellations of stars.
