Bush & Beach is a very good tour agent. Kelly (tour guide) ran a one-man show on this Hobbiton and Waitomo Cave tour. He was very professional, knowledgeable about Auckland and New Zealand, and so entertaining throughout the journey. He had to guide and drive at the same time. That was hard work. I really appreciate that he could keep himself awake and alert in the hot afternoon sun and drove carefully while the rest of us took a nap in the air-conditioned bus! Thank you, Kelly! The Hobbiton tour was exactly what it was – touristy and fun. We had a different guide at the Hobbiton film set – Kingston. He was funny. It was nice to be at the location where the Lord of the Rings was filmed. We were told that 3000 tourists visit the site every day! A must-do in New Zealand. We took a tour package with lunch. The lunch buffet under the marquee was really delicious. Compliments to the chef(s)! The Waitomo Cave was nice inside, with the glow-worms lighting up the dark, dark cave. The slow boat ride added a magical touch. But I had trouble understanding the Maori guide telling his stories. No, he was speaking English; I just had a problem understanding his accent. Logistics arrangements were perfectly done. I highly recommend this tour AND this tour agent for Auckland. Thank you so much, Bush & Beach!
