From the spectacular views to the intriguing hidden gems, this tour was an illuminating and unforgettable journey through Auckland. The highest commendation, however, belongs to our guide, Karthik. Karthik is an invaluable asset; his grasp of the area is encyclopedic, far exceeding typical tour commentary. What truly set him apart was his genuine attentiveness and proactive service, expertly navigating the needs of our diverse group. His ability to deliver a highly informative and personalized experience made this tour truly exceptional and the gold standard.

I joined the “Rotorua Cultural & Geothermal Experience” day trip and was genuinely impressed. Our guide Karthik was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the day special with all the insights he shared. The tour itself is a perfect mix of culture and stunning geothermal attractions. You get a great introduction to Māori traditions while exploring some of Rotorua’s most beautiful geothermal sites. Everything was well organized, on time, and super smooth. An amazing trip that I can highly recommend! Thank you so much

Highly recommend ExperienceKart and specifically our guide Karthik! Karthik was professional, extremely knowledgable and very generous creating a great day for us. While our destination was the Wai Ariki Hot Springs and Spa in Rotorua, about a 3 1/2 hour drive from our hotel in Auckland, Karthik made the trip fun and shared with us a wealth of information about history of and life in New Zealand. He possessed tremendous knowledge specifically about the Maori people, their culture and stewardship of this amazing land. He had selected great spots for breakfast and lunch, but also allowed for flexibility based on our groups tastes and needs. He was sensitive to specific demands of adult children, traveling with their very senior parents. The Mercedes Sprinter van we had was perfectly clean, very comfortable and he greeted us with a welcome gift upon boarding. Thank You Karthik! We can't wait to do it again.

ExperienceKart one day tour with Kartic as our guide was excellent. Auckland is a wonderful place full of history, culture, beauty, and it totally exceeded our expectations. We were delighted we took this tour so we were able to see and learn so much with a very friendly, very professional guide and in a very comfortable Mercedes van. This has made our trip to Auckland and we would highly recommend it.
