Private Hobbiton & Waitomo glowworm cave Day Trip from Auckland

We had a private tour from Auckland to Tapuia, Rotorua - redwood forests, Blue Springs, Waitomo glow worm caves and back with Stephanie. She was very thoughtful, flexible and accommodating even before the trip! Stephanie brought us water and snacks since we were starting at 7am. She made sure to check in with us several times for comfort breaks during long stretches of driving. She even recommended a small adjustment to the itinerary to Blue Springs once she realized we preferred nature walks. This ended up being the highlight of the day!
For specific activities like Tapuia and Waitomo caves, Stephanie would drop us off at the starting point and we would find her waiting as soon as the tour was done. She is a very good driver and responded to all our questions and shared stories herself to establish a common ground. Once she knew we were going to drive down to South Island ourselves for the rest of our trip, she gave us several helpful driving tips and souvenir alternatives we could watch out for.
Highly recommend Stephanie for a personal tour with families or couples. She is very friendly, reliable and accommodating.

Han’s tour was absolutely fantastic and so much fun! He was always on time, super thoughtful, and went out of his way to take care of every little detail. Even though it was a crazy busy season with everything sold out, we felt like VIPs on his tour. The snacks, the laughter, and his positive energy made the whole experience unforgettable.

This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on! Han took amazing photos that captured all the best moments and made sure everything ran smoothly. His positive attitude and care for us truly made us feel special throughout the entire tour. If you’re looking for a memorable experience, you definitely won’t want to miss this tour. Thank you, Han, for making this such a memorable experience! :)

Excellent all day tour. It was a lot of time in the car but, Han made the time pass quickly. He was very knowledgeable of the area and the tours. He took us to our starting points and was waiting for us when we returned. I would highly recommend this trip with Han.

Absolutely amazing day spent with Han! Felt like we were with a long lost friend showing us all the best things in New Zealand! Can’t wait to come back and utilize his services again! Wish I could give 100 stars!

Han is the man! This was the perfect tour to end our time in NZ. Hobbiton is a must see, driving private with Han got us there first with time for breakfast. He was on time for hotel pickup, very knowledgeable about the tours and NZ, our personal photographer, and just an all-around great guy. The tour was all day but never felt long. Highly recommend booking private with Han!

The Tour Operator Hans was on time to pick us up and was very friendly. Hans was very knowledgeable in the areas of our tour and explained every details very clearly. Hans was very polite and patient. Hans was outstanding and we recommend him to anybody. He made us very comfortable and our entire tour was excellent. Thanks to Hans.

Han was an amazing and a great tour guide! He made sure everyone was comfortable during the long drive, he changed the schedule a little bit for us. Han took fantastic photos for us. The places covered were all nice but Han really made the experience so much more memorable. We would highly recommend this package to everyone!! We spent overall wonderful day. Thanks Han
