Roturua was a fun stop. Some good restaurants and we got lucky to run into a small fair near the government gardens. Gardens were pretty as was the whole area. Also stopped at a Kiwi farm and saw how they are grown. Very interesting stop with a cute gift shop there also. Guide was very good.

We booked tour p5 but we were with p2!. We were picked up at 10-30 first stop a kiwi farm we were not expecting this but it was ok.we dropped everyone off at 12-15 and we were taken to the town and left to buy a lunch because the driver needs a break it was 1-45 when we started our tour. We were shown sulphur pools which was good given a tour of the town which was later repeated for the others and taken to see the giant red woods, no mention of the blue lake no gardens unless the flower beds in front of the museum count. We were back to collect the other tour at 3pm so 1/14 hours that's what we got. When we were together we went to the falls which were also on the list. We feel we did not get the tour which we paid for, we are extremely disappointed.
