Fantastic tour! Our guide, Amethyst, was awesome -- very friendly, knowledgeable and fun! She kept us entertained during the long drives to Hobbiton and back from Waitomo, and her energy was infectious. We thoroughly enjoyed the Hobbiton stop, as we knew we would. And, the Glowworm Caves were even better than we expected! Definitely a must-do tour in Auckland.
