An Amazing Tour for Everyone - This tour is completely worth it, our guide Rachel was amazing! We got incredibly insightful commentary about Auckland, NZ Government, Agriculture, Maori, and so much more on the way up. The actual hobbiton tour was great, comp drink at green dragon, and really good food at the marquee. 10/10 would do ot again!

Hobbiton from Auckland - We had an amazing day. Hobbiton was so well set out and and the details of each home was very special. Lunch was fantastic in the marquee and very enjoyable. A drink in the Green Dragon where the staff were so friendly. This tour exceeded my expectations and we enjoyed our trip and would recommend it to everyone whether a Hobbit fan or not.
