Stop At: Hamilton Gardens, Hungerford Crescent Cobham Drive, Hamilton 3216 New Zealand

Explore an enchanting world of secret gardens at Waikato's most visited tourist destination. The international award-winning Hamilton Gardens is unique; it tells "the story of gardens".

Hamilton Gardens is not a botanical garden. Instead, its concept acknowledges there is a story to tell about gardens, their development over time and across cultures, and their use. The concept has been compared to a museum, where each garden collection has historic integrity and provides a window into the story of civilisations, their arts, beliefs and lifestyles.

Our tour guide was “Cup of T” and he was so entertaining but knowledgeable! The caves are stunning…it’s truly a once in a lifetime experience to see the glowworms.

Kris was a wonderful guide. He picked us up from airport, took us to highlights of Auckland, then drove us to the glow worm caves. The ability to customize our day was great! He was very professional, but personal. The car was beautiful and stocked with water and snacks! I would highly recommend Kris for your guide!

Waitomo Glowworm tours was high on our bucket list during our visit to New Zealand. Kris, from Black Car Transfers and Tours, made the visit extra special. Due to a work conflict, my husband and I had to back out last minute but sent our two teenage sons on the tour without us. Kris made sure to communicate with us throughout the day. The highlight was hearing the excitement from the boys upon their return. Kris was very knowledgeable and provided them with New Zealand history and facts, answered all of their questions, and was an overall amazing tour guide. We would recommend this tour to anyone in town!

Our guide, Kruse, was fabulous. Completely tailored everything to us and made our day quite enjoyable. The stop at Hamilton Gardens on the return was wonderful and a great compliment to the caves.

Kris was a wonderful driver: resourceful, friendly, and quite knowledgeable. He went the extra mile in every respect. On the way back he took us to Hamilton Garden. His comments on the history of New Zealand were most informative. I recommend him most highly.
