Adil was a knowledgeable tour guide that shared so many interesting stories and facts about NZ! In addition to the attractions signed up for, he had some great unexpected surprises. The tour itself was great attractions and fulfilled lifelong dream to see Hobbiton. We also experienced the glow worm caves which was an amazing experience!

Our Driver / Guide was fantastic! He always was present and always had an open ear. And he has a huge knowledge about the country and its history! Pick-up was on time and the bus well prepared. Everything was clean, which is very important to me.
