Rotorua & Multi-Day Classic Car Tours
Two days or more, accommodation and activities arranged, and the driving handled throughout.
Our half and full day tours cover the Waikato well. What they cannot do is get you to Rotorua, through the geothermal parks and back without either a very long day or a rushed one.
So we run multi-day packages. Accommodation, activities and the driving are all arranged, and you travel between them in a classic car rather than a rental you have to concentrate on.
What a multi-day package includes
- Accommodation booked and paid for as part of the package
- Activities and attraction tickets arranged in advance
- Chauffeur-driven travel throughout in the car of your choice
- A route built around what you actually want to see
- Luggage handled between stops
- Pick up from your home, accommodation or Hamilton Airport
The Waikato to Rotorua run
Hamilton to Rotorua is around 110 kilometres and takes about an hour and twenty minutes, which makes an overnight the natural shape for it. The drive itself goes through Tirau and the Mamaku Ranges rather than straight down a motorway.
The usual pattern is a Waikato day on the way out, an overnight in Rotorua with geothermal parks and cultural experiences the next day, and a scenic route home. Everything in between is negotiable.
Day one
A Waikato tour on the way through. Hobbiton, the Blue Spring and Okoroire all sit on the road east.
Rotorua
Geothermal parks, Māori cultural experiences, the lakes and the Redwoods, arranged around what interests you.
The way home
A different route back, usually through the Waitomo side or over towards Raglan.
Who these suit
Multi-day tours work best for visitors with a few days and no desire to drive, for couples marking an anniversary or a milestone, and for older travellers who want to see a lot without a punishing schedule.
They are priced individually because no two are the same. Tell us how many days you have, what you want to see and what standard of accommodation you are after, and we will put a package together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you run tours to Rotorua?
Yes, as multi-day packages rather than day trips. Rotorua is about an hour and twenty minutes from Hamilton, which makes an overnight the sensible way to do it properly.
Is accommodation included?
Yes. Accommodation and activities are booked as part of the package, so there is nothing for you to organise.
How much does a multi-day tour cost?
It is priced per trip, because the length, the accommodation standard and the activities all vary. Tell us what you have in mind and we will quote it.
How many days do you recommend?
Two days covers Rotorua comfortably alongside a Waikato day on the way. Three or more lets you add Waitomo or the west coast without rushing.
What Our Guests Say
Real Experiences From Classic Car Tours
“This Father's Day, my wife arranged something I'll never forget, a surprise ride with Classic Car Tours. Trevor arrived to collect me in a red Ford Thunderbird, a true gem of a classic, its glowing in the sunlight like something out of another era. Partway through our drive, Trevor surprised me again, pulling up in his Mercedes SL55 AMG, giving me my very first taste of what it feels like to be near a supercar in full flight. The roar of the engine, the smoothness of the ride, the sheer joy of the moment, it was an experience I'll carry with me for a long time. To any fellow car lover out there, I can't recommend this enough. It's not just about the cars, it's about the memories they help create.”
“Thank You Trevor 4 making My Mum's day, and allowing us to take a wee joyride with U.. Ruby, 1955 Thunderbird was an absolutely Beautiful little lady to ride in.. Thank you from both Mum and I for a memorable outing. I know she won't 4get it in a hurry 😊 Regards.. Becx & Rose”
“Trevor was a great person to meet he was awesome with my kids and had some great stories about his journeys, I would recommend Trevor any day.”
“Trevor from Classic Car Tours was fantastic! We booked him to take our son to his school ball. Trevor's communication was prompt and informative, and we were given a choice of two beautiful cars, our son chose the Jaguar. The car was absolutely stunning and Trevor arrived with plenty of time, giving our son and his partner lots of time to take photos. He was also more than happy to chat about the car, show them under the bonnet and answer all their questions. He even let them have a turn sitting in the driver's seat for photos, which was such a cool touch. Highly recommend Classic Car Tours!”
“Trevor was presented beautifully and professionally. His charisma and gentle approach made our son night. Our son loves classic cars and we had the absolute time of our lives. It also was great he had knowledge of the venues and was able to navigate that for us. I would highly recommend any service. You will not be disappointed. I even got to for a ride there's nothing more soothing then the sound of the muscle of the Mustang. We will be back for tour of the Mercedes. Thank you Trevor mate.”
