I had booked another tour with Karthik earlier during my holidays, and he is such a nice guy that I actually book the Hobbiton experience with him. He will do everything to try and accommodate you in the best way possible; his customized van is super comfy (and the free WiFi is a +). He's very knowledgeable about all of NZ and he will provide you with excellent pieces of information (he knows about NZ history, volcanic activity, important dates, Maori culture; he has travelled all over NZ), he can recommend the best hikes, the best places to visit, the best tours to go on etc... The Hobbiton movie set in itself takes about two hours to visit (it is a fully guided tour), it is a MUST see if you're a Lord of the Rings/Tolkien fan, and even if you're not, it's still very cute (just don't forget to bring warm clothes). On our way back from Hobbiton, Karthik even asked if we wanted to go to Hamilton (35 minutes away) and visit the Hamilton Gardens, free of charge! He waited for us for one hour and a half, the perfect amount of time for us to visit the Gardens. I don't think any other bus guide would have offered that visit opportunity! So you can see why Karthik is so invested in his job: he will make your journey aboard his bus the best possible. I've travelled with ExperienceKart two times, and I'm so glad that I did! I wish you the best and thank you for everything! Kind regards. A-L.

Karthik was an amazing tour guide who obviously was very passionate about his job and the area. His local knowledge was outstanding. The bus itself was very comfortable and it was a smooth trip both ways. He handled our tickets for the attraction and was willing to take photos and give helpful suggestions. The complementary refreshments were thoughtful and appreciated. Overall he made the day so much better and it couldn't have been a more stress-free experience.
