좋아요 좋아요!

드라이버 아저씨가 장시간 운전하시느라 피곤하실 텐데도, 설명도 잘 해 주시고 친절하게 잘 챙겨주셔서 감사했습니다! 처음에 투어를 선택하느라 고민했는데 만족스러운 투어였어요! 물도 음식 나눠줄때마다 주고, 배고프지 않게 간식도 챙겨주셨어요! 함께간 친구도 정말 만족스러워 했습니다.!! Best tour in Auckland. The driver is very friendly and kind. He is best driver and guide. Thanks to him, we could make good memories in Aucklnd. Every person should do this tour in Auckland.

Wow! 이걸 다 하루에??

사정상 오클랜드에서 머물면서 로토루아를 다녀와야해서 렌트를 해야 하나 패키지를 이용해야 하나 고민 끝에 이 투어를 예약했다! 과연 얼마나 할 수 있을까 의문이 없지 않아 있었는데... 와우! 우리가 로토루아에 있을 때 이 투어에 있는 곳을 일부러 다니지 않았었는데... 이 투어가 제 몫을 톡톡히 해주었다! 이 투어는 오클랜드에서 로토루아를 다녀와야 하는 사람에게는 정말 최적의 선택이다! 아침 간식, 점심 식사, 저녁 간식.. 물... 각종 입장료, 버스 기사 겸 투어 가이드 Keaney(?) 아저씨의 해설까지... 이 돈으로 남는 게 있나 싶을 정도로 알찼다! 와이토모 동굴에서 했던 신비한 경험, 아그로돔 양 목장에서 했던 체험, 테푸이아에서 봤던 원주민 콘서트, 와카레와레와에서 봤던 간헐천 등은 이 투어만이 할 수 있는 알차고 짜임새 있는 일정일 것이다!

어쩔 수 없지만,, 이동시간이 너무 길어요. ㅠ.ㅠ

짧은 시간안에 세곳을 들리다 보니 하루 종일 버스를 탑니다. 물론 와이토모 동굴과 로토루아 지열 마을은 멋진 경험이였지만,, 아그로돔 농장은 그다지,,,

Great Experience!

Well organized tour. Tony, the bus driver, was an excellent driver and very informative of history and sights along the way. The glow worms are not to be missed. And the geysers were amazing!
