Great experience! John was a professional driver, and was engaging and personable. He explained how the day was going to work and everything went smoothly. We appreciated the stops to stretch our legs, incorporating some sort of history or landscape splendor each time. We visited Te Puia and Wai-O-Tapu and they were incredible. It's a long day, but well worth it!

Grant was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He provided lots of useful information about Auckland and NZ history, culture, and economics. He worked around everyone's schedules and interests. He took a road closure in stride, still managing to get everyone where they needed to go.

Hiking in Rotorua is definitely worth the experience. Also, tour in Te Puia brings a lot of connection with the land and th history.

Our guide Alessandro was brilliant, very personable and gave great commentary. Went to Wai-O-Tapu which was interesting to see. Also went to the Polynesian Spa which was relaxing and a lovely experience. Only issue was that with different people doing different activities there was a bit of confusion as to who had booked what and people have to be different places at different times, a difficult situation managed well by the guide but it meant that I actually only had about 90mins for each activity.
