Best trip decision we made!

This 2-day tour was the absolute highlight of our trip. From The Glow Worm Caves (Waitomo) to Hobbiton to Rotorua and Taupo, we never stopped being amazed by the beauty and wonder that is New Zealand. Our tour guide John was AWESOME and kept us entertained and laughing throughout the whole trip. Would definitely do again!

Two days of jaw dropping magical experiences

The tour guide Pearl, went above & beyond. The sites were jaw dropping amazing. Hobbiton was so magical. The glow worm caves were spectacular. We enjoyed stopping in Rotorua, swimming in the thermal pool and stopping to wade in the warm thermal stream. The geothermal pools were a feast of incredible, natural beauty. Pearl was so helpful and anticipated our every need. The two day tour packed in a lot with extra stops of interest! We loved it and I would highly recommend it! Thank you to Pearl for your kindness and hospitality.

Excellent Driver

My travel group booked cheeky kiwi and we had such a great experience with John. He was a funny guy and you could tell he loved the country so much and was proud to show you around. He made sure we got great views and photos and provided us with all the insider knowledge for travelling NZ

John - Intro Travel (Auckland to Rotorua)

John was an amazing driver and really knowledgeable of the area we went to. Everyone knows John. He took us from Auckland to Rotorua via Hobbiton and Waitomo and was happy to change our schedule when things didn't go to plan. Thanks again John!
