4 Day Wellington- Rotorua- Auckland tour

Utpal_B, Apr 2024

Overall the trip & experience was very good except inter city coach ride from Wellington to Rotorua. I was expecting the ride will be in the private coach. Everything was on time and hotels at Rotorua & in Auckland were good. Staffs were courteous and helpful. Hobbiton movie set tour, Waitomo cave, and Auckland city tour was memorable too!

The arrangements at Wellington Station could have been clearer. The driver to Rotorua could have been more helpful and informative. Good information from there to Auckland

Connections were fairly seamless. Transport drivers were friendly and informative. Good variety of activities although a couple of activities stated in itinerary were not included. A disappointment.
