Beautiful and peaceful - If you want to see Hobbiton and you don't live in New Zealand, you'll want to fly into Auckland. This tour will pick you up at one of 5 points throughout Auckland and drive you around 2.5 hours to Matamata, where Hobbiton resides.
Along the way, our driver and guide, Angelo, spoke about national industry and indigenous culture while we enjoyed a beautiful ride out in the country. When we arrived at Hobbiton, there was a nice cafe to enjoy 2nd breakfast and a latte, at which point we were handed over to the local guide for the set tour. The movie set and surrounding farmlands is probably going to be the most beautiful, peaceful place you will see in New Zealand, if not the world.
After a quick post-tour stop at the gift shop, we headed back to Auckland. All in, the tour was about 8 hours from Auckland pickup to dropoff. If you are under ~35 and not a New Zealand citizen, a drink at the Green Dragon will require a passport; a driver's license from another country will not work. Suggest booking the early tour, and going on a sunny day if possible, but there are plenty of available umbrellas throughout the outside portions of the tour for rainy visits.
Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend!! - Highly recommend hobbiton, it was so fun!! The attention to detail is just amazing, and the guide leader through hobbiton was so fun and animated!... wish I remembered her name but at hobbiton you can't choose the guide anyways as they're assigned based on timeslot.
The driver to hobbiton was ok, Angelo was his name i believe. His voice was a little too soothing through the hours long drive- put me to sleep. But I primarily choose this particular tour for the roundtrip transport and 6am timeslot, so those purposes were met.

Hobbiton day tour - A great experience, the trip went very smoothly. John, our driver, is a very friendly person, he shared very interesting facts about NZ along the way and when we arrived at our destination he was always very attentive and helpful. At the end of the tour, he was waiting for us with chips and watter. Totally recommendable.
