Super Möglichkeit um viel zu sehen

Wer kein Auto mieten möchten und in kurzer Zeit viel sehen will für den ist das die richtige Tour. Sehr gut organisiert und super Kommentare unserers Tour Guides (wirklich stundenlange Infos). Der Farmbesuch hätte für mich nicht sein müssen und ich hätte lieber z.B. die Innenstadt von Rotorua noch angeschaut. Man sollte sich allerdings bewusst sein dass die Tour recht “touristisch” ist und aufgrund der großen zurückgelegten Entfernung alles recht durchgetaktet ist zeitlich.

Gut organisierte Tour

Die Tour ist super organisiert. Es handelt sich um eine Kooperation zwischen Graylines und Great Sights. Wir haben 2 Mal eine kleine Snackbox bekommen, es gibt WLAN an Bord, unser Busfahrer Kenny war super. Folgende Sehenswürdigkeiten werden besucht: die Glühwürmchengrotte, ein Bauernhof und Te Puia, wo man eine Maori Performance und geothermische Aktivitäten sehen kann. Die Tour dauert den ganzen Tag, ich würde sie wieder buchen.

Neuseeland express

Die Tour war in Ordnung und wäre ohne Bordverpflegung in der Zeit garnicht zu schaffen.Es werden schon große Entfernungen zurückgelegt,was leider den Aufenthalt an den Attraktionen sehr einschränkt.Wäre gerne etwas länger in Rotorua geblieben und hätte dafür gerne auf den Farmbesuch verzichtet. Das ist häufiger zu sehen,aber die wahren Sehenswürdigkeiten kommen zu kurz.

Great Experience!

Well organized tour. Tony, the bus driver, was an excellent driver and very informative of history and sights along the way. The glow worms are not to be missed. And the geysers were amazing!
