We went and booked this on a whim after seeing some road signs on the way into Rotorua, and boy were we glad to do it! Nothing quite compares to the fun of your own little train taking you to unknown places. Staff are so friendly and up for a bit of banter, but are also very organized so everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!

This is our second time of railing with this firm and they are just fantastic. Brilliant, approachable manner and such professional service to each train client taking their train. Such an enjoyable way to venture through the country side while the grandchildren are pointing out what they see so excitedly. Totally recommend this rail journey.
