David, Chantelle, and the Auckland & Beyond Tours are the best! - The experience was amazing! This tour is a must-do when travelling to New Zealand's northern Island. Auckland & Beyond Tours made it easy for us from start to end of the activity. At the beginning, they are very communicative and want to make sure you feel ready for the experience! They email you to make sure you are aware of most convenient pick-up location and time. During the tour, David was great driving us around and adding valuable insights about the country and region we were visiting. At the end, I had an incident as I left my wallet in the van. Chantelle (coordinator) and David did an amazing effort to find it, quickly contact me so I would not stress, and deliver it to me at my hotel. I really appreciated all the support received from Chantelle, David, and Auckland & Beyond Tours! Thank you for making us spend such a great day, with a happy ending!

Remarkable and fantastic - Raymond ,our guide was fantastic. He wasvery knowledgeable,friendly and entertaining. Prompt ,organized and made us comfortable about what to expect on our excursion.The Glowcworm cave experience was a once in a lifetime experience He even stopped to allow us to purchase fresh fruits for a local farmers co op as well as ice cream served with mixed berrie that was to die for. He was a safe and careful driver who entertained us throughout the trip with history,culture,food tips,local customs,restaurant recommendations as well as answered all of our questions. I cannot think of anyway he could have provided a better experience! He was remarkable,kind and patient with my sister and I

Great Experience! - Fantastic trip to the Waitomo glowworm caves and Rotorua to see the kiwi birds, learn about Māori culture and see the geysers! I’ve never seen anything quite like the glowworm caves! Loved the small group experience and Chris and Gary kept us laughing (even at some bad jokes!) :)

too much rain - Mike our driver was very friendly and helpful we did have a map problem due to internet connection and wound up about 20 minutes out of our way but Mike kept his cool and we arrived at the Caves on time. Very interesting presentation and history of the caves was very informative with the rainfall we were unable to go to two sites and our tour was shortened by 30 minutes very disappointing. The Cave tours should start letting people know NO PHOTOS IN UNDERGROUND maybe they could give everyone a photo of the glowworms it is very hard to explain to family and friends the scene. It was still worth the drive
