Megical - It was amazing to see it live. They build a small village for LORT and Hobbit with amazing attention to details. Improvement proposal for Viator: make sure to send pickup driver contact number & car details one day prior to travel (not just address and time).

Even if you are not an... - Even if you are not an Arden fan, this was really well done. Sol was our guide and he made the tour not only interesting but very entertaining.

Must see. - What an amazing place! Much more than I expected. The details, the atmosphere and surroundings makes you feel like you are in the Shire. A must visit place for all Lord of the Rings fans. I recommend doing the “Second breakfast” tour because you are the first group in the Shire. Lots of opportunities to take pictures without having to maneuver around people.

A must while in NZ! - Our drive down to Matamata with Daved (Auckland & Beyond Tours) was really great. He was so knowledgeable and gave a us a wonderful primer on NZ history. Ask him about some great restaurant recommendations when you get back from Hobbiton! Sam, our tour guide at Hobbiton, was a riot! We got to see the entire filming location and grabbed a pint at the Green Dragon. Do not miss the walk-thru hobbit home! Get ready for some really good puns and dad jokes if you end up with Sam.

Worth the time - This has a bit of a drive from downtown Auckland but the experience is worth it. We had a wonderful guide from the time we entered the van till we got to the drop off point. Our Hobbiton guide was great and we had a wonderful experience.

Not only for Hobbit fans… - Beautiful country and a great way to see it is to tour a little outside of Auckland. Not very familiar with the Hobbits or Lord if the Rings but I was fascinated by what was more than a “movie set.”

Good trip overall - It was worth the time and the experience was very good at Hobbiton. Our rides to and from were the hotel were good and in comfortable van though our driver was very hard to understand so whatever he said became background noise. He let us waited in the van while he spent time catching up with his friends.

Hobbit movie set tour. - Fun and interesting trip to the Hobbit movie set. We learned a lot about the making of the movies. Location is beatuiful. One downside was the ride from Auckland. 14 people in a van with minimal commentary from the guide.

Excellent day out! - Our guide, Nancy, was excellent. Very accommodating, personable, and knowledge about the surrounding area. The bus is very clean and tidy but could perhaps be a little bigger to provide more leg room for the taller travellers. Cold water and snacks provided and a very welcome ice cream stop! Thank you Nancy for a super day.
