Wonderful experience, must visit Hobbiton even you are not a LOR fan. Our tour guide Matt picked up promptly at the designated time. He is friendly, courteous, and full of local knowledge. The van is clean and comfortable. I like it’s a small group with only 12 people. The lunch is delicious, with entree, dessert, and a drink. Wonderful day, a bit trek to see the attractions, it’s nice to join a tour so you don’t have to worry about driving.

I guess most of the visitors would be fan's of the films I went with my friend as she was but in all honesty the tour around the set just gives you locations of scenes and incidents in the movies. I is way overpriced for what it is and it is so busy you are ushered along when the group in front moves to make room for the group behind. You can look for nothing on Google Maps!

Excellent service provided in the package. Driver cum Guide was very good at explaining everything.Car seat was pre installed for our little one . Well communicated about everything. Well maintained timing . Overall had a great time .

Mike was a wonderful guide - along with fantastic site guides - great experiences. Long by rides but broken up with great commentary.

I was solo for this tour. Our tour guide Mike was brilliant and certainly knew Auckland back to front. He was informative and had the best sense of humour. Thanks Mike, you made my visit to Auckland memorable.

This is a great tour easy pick from Auckland the Hobbiton village is so well done it was beautiful walking around with the guide who is full of knowledge. It was amazing being able to go inside one of the homes fully furnished.

Mike was very knowledgeable, pleasant and a great driver. Everything was well thought out including lunch and the pickups. The breakfast cafe was a nice treat too.

This was a really great tour, and Liam was a fantastic tour guide! He provided fun stories, commentary and facts about New Zealand, and we even got to learn a bit of Maori. We highly recommend anyone take this tour who is looking to see more of New Zealand outside of Auckland.

We had a remarkable wonderful magical day! 6 of us shared this trip today! The tour was beautifully spaced with care, breaks and the food was quite good! Our guide, Mike, was perfect! Friendly!, fun, knowledgeable, helpful, good sense of humor, pointed out so many beautiful things along the way, knew flowers, trees, which animals we saw, and nature, taught us facts we would not have known, and kept us organized. He is one of the best guides I’ve had in years! He added a perfect touch to our special day!! He was professional yet felt like chosen family! I would recommend this trip to everyone! A magical joyful stress free day full of magic nature and the best of life!

Everything was so smooth and well organized! Communication prior to the day was very clear and easy to understand. Our guide was Liam and he was so much fun and made our bus trip very interesting and the time flew by! At no point in the day did we feel like we did not understand what we were supposed to be doing or where we were supposed to be in order to be on time to each activity. Absolutely awesome experience and would recommend to anyone!

Everyone was so friendly, and information about the trip was communicated clearly. The driver was very knowledgeable, and I'm so glad I booked it. I needed to go straight to the airport after the trip, and was able to get dropped off on the way back into Aukland so I could make my flight.

Tim the tour guide was amazing. Great tour! Both experiences were worth doing and had plenty of time to look at everything.

Great value for your money! Point to point pick up/drop off was very convenient! Mike, the tour guide was very conversational and informative explaining the sights on the trip and aspects of NZ culture/history. Very well organized and enjoyable. Lunch was fantastic & being at Hobbiton an unforgettable experience for Tolkien fans! The caves were fascinating- good shoes are a must as you descend in near darkness to witness the glow worms. A full day and well worth the cost to get out of the city and see rural landscapes!

Had a great time. The driver was great. I had a great time on my birthday. The best gift that I've got,even though I treated myself

This was a phenomenal tour for anyone looking for a day trip in the North Island to knock off two excellent attractions! Multiple convenient options where you can get picked up /dropped off in CBD area (where many hotels and Airbnbs are) . The experience in Hobbiton is magical - period. It's everything you would hope for and more. The glowworms cave is a unique experience as well and it was a great way to round off the day trip. The drive to the locations takes you through some beautiful country side of New Zealand. My bus driver Brenda was a lovely personality. She was engaging with all the guests in the bus (the group in my bus was a total of 20 people). She helped me with quite some pictures along the way (which I appreciated being a solo traveler). As a solo traveler making a bucket list trip to NZ, this tour was just what I was looking for a day trip to experience the Shire. Honestly for me, the glow worms cave trip was a nice bonus 🙂.
