Is there a lot of walking? I have a bad back and can only walk about a mile before it gives out and who knows what it will be like by then.

The cumulative daily standing is 1-2 hours, and the cumulative daily walking is up to 1-2 miles/1.6-3.2 km per day. The terrains are of short distances that mostly involves flat surfaces and some stairs. The sightseeing style would be mostly by going to and coming from the transports with occasional walking.

Can you add a guided trip on the last day of this trip to Hobbiton? If you can't, I can book my own tour on the last day when you take others to the airport

We are sorry but we cannot add a guided trip to Hobbiton on the last day of the tour since our tours have a fixed schedule. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

When trying to book accommodations I want a single room. It would not let me click on the single room. Please let me know how I can book the single room.

We have notified Tour Radar that you are having some difficulties with booking. They will reach out to you shortly with further assistance. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

We hope our Travel Director allowed you to experience the contrasts of New Zealand's two distinct islands, from Queenstown's magnificent outdoors and Rotorua's geothermal wonderland to Auckland's sparkling harbour. However, it concerns us to read that you felt certain aspects of your journey could have been improved, including the amount of time relaxing during the trip. We recognise that some of our guests would like some time to relax; therefore, we allow this time for our valued guests to take advantage of a choice to either relax or explore a particular area nearby at a leisurely pace which can be prearranged with our Travel Director. As such, we have shared your comments with the relevant department to establish what potential improvements we might make to this itinerary.
