Amazing tour! Thank you Carlos & Elser! - I recently went on a private tour with Carlos that included the Raukuni Cave, Waitomo Glowworm caves, and Hobbiton Movie Set, and it was fantastic! Carlos managed to snag tickets for all three attractions during the busy Christmas season when everywhere else was sold out. I tried everything I could to get in, but he was the one who made it happen! Both Carlos and Elser were super friendly and really attentive to our needs. They made sure our journey was smooth and enjoyable, and I loved how they shared interesting stories about New Zealand's culture along the way. It felt like we were out exploring with friends rather than just on a tour. Carlos was also super responsive before the trip, answering all my questions and giving great tips for planning. If you’re looking for a fun and hassle-free way to see these amazing sights, I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Excellent service Carlos excellent as a tour guide - It was an excellent service. We traveled from Chile to do some tours in New Zealand and we found this beautiful Glowworm Tour to the caves. It is worth mentioning that our tour guide Carlos Delgado gave us an excellent, very professional service. We recommend taking this tour 100% to see something wonderful about New Zealand.
