Very Enjoyable Day - Susan picked my wife and I up at the cruise ship terminal. She was very friendly, attentive to our needs, interesting to talk to, an excellent driver and informative during our trip. The Waitomo Glow Worm Cave is unique and worth seeing but no photos are permitted. Hobbiton exceeded our expectations. Susan handled all the details including pit stops.

glow worms and Hobbits - We had a great time. Susan was our host. She was very informative and a joy to be with. The glow worms were spectacular and the Hobbiton was really impressive and the included ale at the end wasn't bad either. There was just my wife and I on the tour Susan took care of everything and kept us on time. I would book tours with them again. Just as advertised.

Great Host - Peter picked us up at 6:30 am for our trip to Waitomo and Hobbiton. He was prompt and friendly- very comfortable for the 5 of us immediately. Stopped at McDs for a restroom break (and coffee to wake up!) and off to Waitomo caves. Lunch at the Waitomo caves and on to Hobbiton.
Peter was an informative guide and shared information about New Zealand throughout the trip. We had some good laughs and learned a lot from him. He is good at his job and seems to truly enjoy being with visitors.
Thankful for Peter's kindness in giving my daughter a ride back to her host home in Swanson vs. having her take the hour train ride back from Auckland. Peter didn't have to do that- rather volunteered as it was about 15 minutes out of his way. *Thank you Peter!
If you are considering a tour while in town would highly recommend Peter's tour to Hobbiton and the glow worm caves. You will be safe, comfortable, and learn a great deal about this beautiful country.

Highlight of my NZ trip - I was drawn to Coast to Coast initially because of Peter's responsiveness to my email inquiries. My mom and I booked two tours with Peter during our stay in New Zealand, the Sheep World tour and the Hobbiton movie set tour. Peter is incredibly thoughtful, personable and professional. We are particularly pleased that he tailored the itinerary to our preferences. For example, knowing that we are light drinkers and cheese fanatics, he omitted the second winery checkpoint and took us to a Puhoi Valley store where we found some of the best cheeses in town! We had a blast in Auckland and this is attributed largely to Peter's amazing tours. We wish him continued success in the future!
