Brilliant coach driver/tour guide. A good mix of attractions and sightseeing.
We wish the guided tour around the castle could have been shorter to enable us to explore the gardens some more. The scaffoldings on the train station pevented us from taking a more beautiful picture of the building. Our guide Russell has been very helpul and informative.
Had to do it. When a tour includes chocolate and the only castle in New Zealand how can you turn it down? We were taken on a factory tour of the Cadbury factory in 2016 sadly i think the Cadbury factory is closed now. The guide, who worked there, was so proud of her factory and the amount of high quality candy they produced. The tour ended of course in the gift shop and we had to buy some to get our energy up to tour the castle! It was cute and a great building. Most of the rooms they let you into and the furniture is all there with artifacts from the family. Well worth a day our of our lives! We loved both stops. Spend some time on the grounds of the castle as well, fantastic!
Fantastic tour!! I highly recommend it.
The castle tour was great. The chocolate factory tour ok, however we didn't get to see any of the processing lines.The tour guide was excellent! Beautiful country side.
Josh was a great tour guide. More time required qt the castle.
