Kia ora YuFeng, Thanks for sharing, Waitomo Caves are absolutely beautiful and if you take photos (with the flash on) they scare the glowworms away. All the best for your future travels, Esther and the team at Gray Line

Too bad not enough time to eat as time is wasted for turn to collect our food. All of us only half way through our lunch, we had to leave. Very disappointing as food is very good. So much is wasted on all the plates and we are still hungry, only 1st plate and have finished. Overall trip is good, pleasant and enjoyable. Lady driver is good and experienced and very thoughtful. Sorry I forgot her name.

Kia ora Ivy, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear your lunch was cut short, perhaps this was because the tour itself was running late and you had to make it to Waitomo Caves on time. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this caused. All the best for your future travels, Esther and the team at Gray Line

Les activités touristiques les plus célèbres de NZ
Les 2 activités touristiques les plus connues en NZ, difficile de passer à côté. En revanche, trop touristique : trop de monde et des prix exorbitants. Le combo est une très bonne chose car les 2 activités sont chronometrées dans tous les cas. Hobbiton est génial pour les fans du SDA, même si cela manquait d'anecdotes et qu'il s'agissait surtout de regarder les portes des hobbits. Le lieu est magnifique. Waitomo cave m'a moins inspirée, cela m'a paru trop rapide mais ça reste féerique
