"Tour was a woderful experience. We were picked up on time, at our hotel. Our driver/guide was friendly, organized, informative very accomidating to the groups needs. The tour at Hobbiton was great and better than I ever expected. The glow worm caves was wonderful."

"This was an enjoyable afternoon 4.5 hours tour that took us to see a beautiful part of Auckland and the north island. Piha beach was wonderful and the hike in the Waitekere Rain Forest was so beautiful and informative. Our guide, Wayne, was constantly giving information or telling jokes which kept us all entertained. Well done !!!"

"The mastery of Tolkein's words brought to life by Jackson's film & recreated for us to experience at Hobbiton - magical."

"Our driver from Auckland to Matamata was very friendly, accommodating, and entertaining! I would recommend this tour"

"A great way to see the country side of New Zealand. Had a great day seeing Hobbiton, Rotorua, and the Glow Worm Caves. Would highly recommend this tour although it is a long day."

"An amazing experience and one that takes you away from the crowds and give you a much better, less touristy experience"

"Fabulous female crew! Good dinner and whole thing cost what a restaurant dinner would have. Really sailed."

"the explanation that humans can live with nature without destroying it for us oldies 80+ this was the experience of a life time especally witht the help and knowledge of the tourguides THEY WERE TOPS thanks for a beautifull day"

"The crew were helpful and explained what was being done during the trip and what data was being collected for research. The Dolphins were a delight to see"

"The valley offered one of the most spectacular and memorable walks we've taken. The paper guide for the walk was very informative. Our lake cruise was excellent with descriptions given by the skipper. Café staff were helpful. Sandwiches were tasty and the coffee was good."

"Great tour. Michael informative and entertaining in equal measure. Hotel pick up and drop off an added bonus Would highly recommend."

"What a great day. When you pay for a tour for the entire day, you hope to be taken care of -- and were impressed beyond our expectation of how the day went. From our tour guide, Mata, and all his great info along the way, to the comfortable minibus, to arriving to Hobbiton early and his ability to get us on an earlier tour... to the amazing details and details of Hobbiton (which is done by a seperate specific "Hobbiton" guide - but was just as wonderful). We weren't sure how our buffet lunch would be (as that can go either way), but we were quite impressed as the food and choices were great. We made a seemless switch to a new guide (Billy) for the second part of our day, who got us to our tour of the Te Puia and the geysers, kiwi birds, amazing crafts - and then drove us to some other wonderful local sites. I could not recommend FlexiToursNZ more highly. They went ABOVE and BEYOND what was expected, the personal touch and communication was beyond belief. If you want to be taken care of and see the sights of Auckland... this trip was worth every dollar spent."

"Had to wait a while until bus was full but I wasn’t in a rush. Pretty impressed that driver knew exactly who I was when mine was the first drop off among about 6 different groups."

"Action packed, challenging, great fun, very professional, awesome caves, floating along under glow-worms was very special. Bucket list experience!"

"It's nice to get the panoramic experience! Can't get it any other way. All aides were very nice and polite."

"Great day on the Hauraki Gulf. And they let me drive! Thrilling. Recommended to all Auckland sports lovers."

"Great informative tour which included free sweetcorn! We booked a 10:15am tour which resulted in seeing the cultural performance as well (but I’m not sure if this was actually included in our ticket!). Got to see the 2 geysers which was cool."

"Craig, our driver and guide, was a mine of local information. An all round great guy with a warm personality. It was a great day and so nice to have the stops at McClaren Falls and the ice creamery after Hobbiton."

"The day trip from Auckland was long but enjoyable. The ability to have options of activities was also nice"

"Wayne provided a very interesting and informative overview of Auckland and the surrounding communities shortly after we arrived:-)"

"Jane was great! Our ship was delayed by 1.5hours - but the tour still accommodated all of us. Even with the compressed schedule, we were shown all the places, albeit a bit rushed(no fault of the tour). The knowledge of the guide was great!"
