    Michelle and Melvin made our tour very enjoyable. We learned a lot about the history of New Zealand and were very knowledgeable and answered many questions. Lunch at the Green Dragon was very good and the glow worms were amazing!

    A great day out in Aukland. We had Jason and Damion as drivers, and they were both friendly and helpful as well as telling all about the places we visited and the country in general. The bus was very comfortable and the small group format was great. Highly recommend. Worth noting it is a long day :)

    Milton knew a lot. On the drive over, he was pointing out animals and wildlife, giving stories and telling history along the way. It was probably one of the best tours I’ve down through out all of the world. Well worth it, and enjoyed every bit of it.

    The Hobbiton + glow worm cave tour was fantastic. Our driver and guide, Damion, entertained us with movie-making stories, historical facts, and interesting landmarks along the journey. The small group size meant we bonded over the course the day, forming a fellowship of our own. Hobbiton itself was magical and the glow worms were fascinating. Definitely a day well spent!

    Damien went out of his way to learn everyone’s names and chat with them, as well as having fun commentary during the (admittedly long) drive between Auckland, Hobbiton, the Waitomo Worm Caves and back. Would 100% recommend Bush and Beach for tours!
