We arranged the tour online and Wendy met as at our cruise boat dock, perfectly on schedule. It was delightful to spend a wonderful day touring the countryside and visiting Hobbiton. She took care of everything and all we did was show up. As an added bonus we stopped by a honey store for a sample and view of active bees. Wendy is great company and knows the area well. She provided insightful commentary and is very pleasant to be with. Look forward to a return visit.TrailBlazer584863

We were originally scheduled for a tour of the Rotorua area with Grumpy's Tours but the day before the Grumpy's guide was injured, so, fortunately for us, Wendy kindly stepped in. Wendy picked us up at our accommodation, Solitaire Lodge, 20 minutes outside Rotorua in her Mercedes van. The sights we saw were in order: Wai-O-Tapu Boiling Mud Pool, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, Agrodome Sheep Show, lunch at a nice Rotorua restaurant, the Redwoods Walk, a driving tour of Rotorua, Wendy's tour of the principal attractions of Te Puia (geyser, kiwi house, Maori Village, afternoon cultural show and the workshops) and the Blue and Green Lakes. That's a lot do do in a single day but Wendy kept everything moving along efficiently but comfortably (e.g., she got us to the front of the line at Wai-O-Tapu; she allowed us all the time we wanted in the gift shops at the Agrodome and Te Puia). Above all, she was professional and informative. She made all the sites interesting for us. She's also a very nice person and fun to spend time with. I recommend her unreservedly to anyone who wishes to tour Rotorua.Jmcart2

We were a party of 7 family members and we were pleased to spend a great day with Wendy. She was a friendly person who made our visit to Rotorua and surrounds a great day. It was targeted to our preferences. We were very disappointed with the Maori Concert. It was simply not worth the extra $45 to see. It went for less than 25 minutes and was amateurish in the extreme.BonnieBBB38

From the moment Wendy greeted us at the cruise port, we felt like we were spending the day with an old friend. She is so easy to be with. Our tour of Rotorua and the Maori village was excellent - just as we hoped it would be. Wendy is very informative and shares her personal interest in the area. We enjoyed the brew pub she took us to for lunch and all the conversation. Thank you, Wendy, for a truly memorable day!mfrench6

Recently, my family had a fantastic day tour with Wendy when our cruise ship was in Tauranga. We explored Hobbiton and Rotorua, where we did the Luge and went to a thermal mud pool park. We also stopped in at a family run kiwi farm and ate delicious kiwi ice cream. Wendy went above and beyond to give us a great day out! She was very informative throughout the tour and was super organised and punctual. We had a great experience with Wendy and highly recommend her for a private tour when in Tauranga.
