EXCELLENT1455 reviewsMarie F31 October 2024My New Zealand visit. A great tour to get an insight into Māori culture. The glow worm caves were spectacular.Our guides John and David were well informed. It is a jam packed day; it maybe an idea to go prepared with food items for your breakfast and lunch as it is meals on the go.Be prepared for a long day and comfortable shoes are a must.Romar C31 October 2024Awesome tour and great tour operator This is an awesome tour led by Jason who is a funny, knowledgeable and kind guy. He goes above and beyond to make sure all guests are taken cared of really well.barbaramo31 October 2024Bay of Isles Our driver, Geoff, and new guide, David, were prompt, professional, and informative. Geoff was a safe driver. Snacks and water were provided. They made the tour fun and memorable. We highly recommend the tour.Canmaff27 October 2024Top rated for a good reason👍 We had an amazing day with Angelo as our guide. He was an encyclopedia of information on New Zealand, coupled with reflective thoughts with so many points to ponder while you are soaking in the surreal beauty of NZ’s countryside. He drove us safely to and from the locations and was professional, helpful and warm. The administration of the bookings and requests we made were also swiftly attended to. Very impressed with all involved in this company.Gina T27 October 2024Bay Island tour The tour of the bay islands was spectacular. The day started with a view of a beautiful waterfall. Our guide Adil was fantastic. He provided so much history about New Zealand. He was great with directions and setting expectations. He even added some additional stops that were very interesting. He was very thoughtful and had water for us throughout the day. He even surprised us with chips and cookies at the end of the tour. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with us on the boat tour. However we did see dolphins up close and they followed us for a while.Deirdre B26 October 2024The perfect tour Our guide, Aimin, was brilliant. He went above and beyond and took us to places that were not on our tour such as the Cambridge Farmers' Market, the Governor's Gardens in Rotorua, Rotorua Lake, and even an ice-cream parlour. The Waitomo Glowworm Caves were exceptional and moved our souls. Te Puia Geothermal Valley was mind-blowing and brought me into contact with the earth's incredible power. It was a day to remember for a very long time.Freedom1387882388426 October 2024Magical and mystical Quite a drive from Aukland, but absolutely worth the time and the money! The scenery on the drive is beautiful: endless green fields, luah forests and picturesque towns. Floating on a boat at Waitomo glow worm caves, I felt like I could reach out an touch the stars. The ceiling and walls of the caves twinkle with glow worms! The Rotorua geothermal pools and geysers are otherworldly. I "windbathed" in the mineral rich steam blowing in puffs of cloud from the geysers. Our guide, Aiman was excellent; knowledgeable and friendly and he stopped so we could get fresh blueberries and ice cream on the way home. The tour company was great to deal with.Coastal0087505508822 October 2024Truly a magical experience! The Hobbiton experience was definitely one for the books. The view on the way to Hobbiton was an adventure on its own! The rolling hills, the cows, the sheep, the horses, it was really an exciting experience! It felt like I was in such a heavenly place. Our tour guide was also a delight! His name was Adil (?), I remember him joking “Adil or no Deal” Haha overall loved the tour!Justin21 October 2024Breathtaking Bay of Islands I did the group tour to the Bay of Islands with Auckland & Beyond a couple weeks ago. Our guide, Adil, was absolutely amazing and really enhanced the experience; He was very professional and friendly, very knowledgeable about the tour and NZ in general, and shared this knowledge along the way. It was a long drive to the Bay of Islands, but the picturesque scenery and Adil's commentary made it the perfect trip! The van was clean and comfortable, and the others in the group were all great people. Auckland & Beyond did an amazing job organizing everything and their excellent communication by email before and after the trip made the experience effortless on my part. I highly recommend this tour, the Bay of Islands cruise is breathtaking! I am glad I chose this company for the tour, and would definitely take one of their other tours next time. I am eternally grateful to Adil and A&B for this perfect and memorable experience on my first trip to NZ. - JustinMashaKP320 October 2024Excellent 1-day tour to the Bay of Islands Highly recommended tour service provider, I had a fantastic time and all was scheduled perfectly!
