Louise (the guide) is the big surprise!
Even if the tour was boring (which it wasn’t) Louise is a treasure trove of information and made us all feel like we were learning a lot along the way. She knows A LOT and makes it entertaining to learn. Would definitely book any experience with her. Hobbiton was amazing and the Waitomo Caves are... ok, albeit short . I’d skip that. :)

Wonderful day trip outside of Auckland!!
Our guide Mike was simply the best. Very friendly and helpful. Beyond expectations. He drove us to Hobbiton and told us about the history of NZ along the way, and different things we were seeing in route. Even though I'm not a Hobbit fan, I still really appreciated the natural beauty of the land around me. The Glow Warm caves was our favorite part of the journey. Not to miss. We had a wonderful stop for lunch, out in restaurant in the forest, Grilled meats and vegetables. Loved it. Mike could not have been more attentive. Thank you!
