“We really enjoyed the visit to Hobbiton. We would have liked more time at the gift shop and the Green Dragon Inn. Alfredo, our guide, was excellent! He was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the history and facts about the areas we visited. And on our return trip, he took us to see sites along the way home. It was great fun! Had a very enjoyable day.”

The tour guide is an absolute sweetheart... Very friendly, helpful and approachable. He even did some short extra tour that is not included in that tour itinerary. Highly recommended this to all... It’s an absolute one of a kind experience and everyone must experience 😊”

“We had an amazing day! The van was comfortable, clean, tidy, and we were offered granola bars, water, and umbrellas. We had just the right number of stops on the way to Rotorua. Matt was friendly and gave us an informative and funny tour, and ensured we never waited longer than necessary at any one point, seamlessly getting us to the right place at the right time, despite occasional road works and traffic. Wai-o-Tapu was otherworldly and stunningly beautiful, and Matt got us ahead of the crowds. We went for the spa afternoon activity and were impressed with the ‘deluxe’ package that was included with this day tour. This package…”

Review of FlexiToursNZ’s 3-day Auckland tour to Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waiotapu, Taupo and Waitomo, including meals, hotels and practical tips.

“I had a fantastic time! I particularly loved Rotorua, and was really glad to be able to see it, particularly the Mitai evening and Waiotapu. I don't drive so this allowed me to see things I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Everything was organised so efficiently, especially considering people in the group were doing different things. I never had to worry about anything! The drivers and guides were all so friendly and knowledgeable. It *is* a lot of money to spend for just 3 days, but considering how much was included, I don't regret it!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 20 reviews · 13 hours · from $283

Review of Auckland to Rotorua with Mitai Māori Village, hangi lunch, cultural performances, and Wai-O-Tapu’s Champagne Pool.

“I enjoyed the cultural immersion into Māori traditions—it was both enriching and eye-opening to learn about their history, performances, and way of life. The warmth and hospitality made the experience feel authentic and memorable. Following that, the thermal wonders of Rotorua were equally fascinating. From bubbling mud pools to steaming geysers, it was like stepping into another world shaped by nature’s raw power. The combination of cultural depth and geothermal marvels gave me a well-rounded sense of what Rotorua is all about: a place where heritage and natural beauty meet in a say trip”
