Breathtakingly stunning !!! How lucky are we that the owners of this fantastic property have opened it up and shared their amazing collection of art works. We had travelled from the South Island to visit and we just loved every minute. Thank you so so much.

We had Ezy Driver pick us up from the Auckland airport early afternoon and take us to a private glow worm excursion in Waitomo. In order to make it to our excursion we had to carry all of our luggage with us in the vehicle (as our hotel wasn't ready for check in before we had to leave). The drive was 3 hours south into NZs north island. There were 5 of us and we rode in an 11 passenger minivan, it was spacious and clean and fit all of our luggage. Our driver was informative about the area and stopped to let us have lunch at a really good local cafe. He waited with our luggage for the 3 hour glow worm excursion and then drove us back to Auckland to our hotel. Our belongings were safe and our driver was attentive to our needs. Ezy Driver is highly recommended!

The tour of the set was excellent. The place is a well oiled machine from ticket office to bus ride etc. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the movies and all other aspects . The movie set was awesome and the gardens amazing . Even if you’re not a movie buff the experience and sheer brilliance of PJ et al is totally worth it . Having a drink ( free) at the Green Dragon ???? was fantastic.

We had a great time and fell in love with the Alpacas. I took 1000s of photos from these cuties with their funny haircuts. The private tour started with a pick-up at our Auckland hotel where we have been for a couple of days. After the stunning sheep dog show bringing in the sheep we learned a lot of the background of the famous New Zealand sheep wool and during the live shearing we are able to shear a sheep. At the end - that was a highlight - there was the opportunity to feed and touch the lambs. An amazing day.

My husband and I were on a cruise from Melbourne, Australia through New Zealand. As with most of our ports on this cruise, we had just one full day to check out the big city of Auckland. Wanting to see as much as possible in this short time, we scheduled a TIME Unlimited Tour. Our guide, Sofia, had a hard time getting to us at the port due to all of the construction in the CBD, and she asked us to walk a block over and meet her. Once in our van with 4 other people, we took off for what ended up being a really fantastic tour. We saw so many wonderful places in just eight hours. As a bonus, throughout the day, Sofia offered us local treats. We had delicious Kiwi Juice, crackers, cookies, and little candies called Jaffas that I crave still!

I had the best experience with Time Unlimited Tours, they were so prompt with their service. I had a group of 70 people getting transported from one venue to another. It was absolutely hassle free and my guests were very impressed! They were on time, so kind and helpful. Neill and Ceillhe are the loviest people and I just can't recommend their service enough!! 10/10 across the board. I would use this company again, ANY day of the week!

Keith was wonderful, picked us at our hotel and the day was great. He took very good care of us. The stops were timed just right and the eating places were excellent. We saw dolphins and the catamaran went thru the "hole in the rock". He went out of his way to take us to the hardware store so we could buy an adapter. All together it was a fabulous day. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

We did a vintage car tour. It was 1 hour in a lovely old car called buttercup. We loved it. I booked it because my 87 year old Dad came to visit us in Napier. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more my 87 year old Dad or my 12 year old Son. Definitely recommend this trip.

Everything is well done. From the clean toilets and departure arrangements to the video on the coach to the chatty guide to the marvel of Hobbiton and the relaxing brew at the Green Dragon Inn at the end of the tour. The gardens are a marvel, so pretty and full of bees, butterflies, birds. The houses are detailed and colourful. It is a magical world and it was wonderful to visit it.
