A lovely experience! - Easy to book the trip, easy to find the pick up place, and our bus guide was excelent! (Unfortunatley I can’t remember his name, but he worked on the 06:30 bus, 08.02). The Hobbiton movie set did not dissapoint, and everyone that was on work that day was so nice!

Be a Hobbit for a day! - It was a fun escape to Hobbiton to see the fantastic and beautiful village of Hobbit holes, then to go in one too! Everything down to the last detail like clothes lines, a smoking chimney, a running water wheel, made you feel like you’re in a real village. Ginger beer at the Green Dragon Inn was the perfect way to end the tour on a hot day.

Amazing experience - We used the service with the pick up and drop off from Auckland - which was about a 2 hour drive. Our driver Mr. Adil was so kind and informative. He knows a lot about New Zealand and Hobbiton. The tour around Hobbiton is about an hour and a half. Our tour guide was Mr. Yean. He was great. Gave us lots of information about the history of Hobbiton, gave us plenty of time of questions and pictures. It was a wonderful experience.

Hobbiton Highlife - I recently took The Hobbiton Movie Set Small-Group Guided Tour from Auckland on January 3, 2025, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide, Danni, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and details of the set. Her insights truly brought the magic of Hobbiton to life. The tour itself was incredibly immersive, and I loved exploring the charming interiors of the hobbit houses. Every detail was so authentic, it felt like stepping into Middle-earth. Whether you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit or just love beautiful landscapes and storytelling, this tour is a must-do. Highly recommended!

Miscommunication - This was a very frustrating start of our tour in New Zealand. Several communications for changing date, and pickup and time. The tour company was vague, not clear that they indeed pickup from our hotel Cordis, and for us go over to millennium Park Hotel. We wasted our money spending money on cab fare, and having a quick breakfast that we paid for already. Communication via text, email, and WhatsApp still didn’t solved the miscommunication. It was strongly suggested that if we didn’t show up on time, consider it a no show. We were there at 6AM, several tour bus arrived. I got a call asking where are we? We were waiting 20 minutes, a guy drive up on another tour bus and assisted us, directed us to the other area of the hotel. Met our driver, checked in. Later had a conversation and was told we booked thru TripAdvisor, which is not the case. We still have two more tours with them, planning to cancel due to the stress of this experience.
