Lovely scenery and experience! - Great experience! The grounds were lovely and the Hobbit holes were adorable! Our guides Aiman and Sol were professional and engaging. Highly recommend this activity, even for those not familiar with the Tolkien books.

Fun Experience - The Hobbiton tour was a fun addition to our New Zealand & Australia vacation. Auckland & Beyond Tours arrived on time for our early access tour. Everything went as planned. I recommend both Hobbiton Movie Set tour and Auckland & Beyond Tours.

Worth waking up early for - Long day getting to Hobbiton but so worth it! The scenery was breathtaking. Going early was a great decision: less crowded, clean restrooms, pictures without tourists in them. Our guide, Adil, gave us a history lesson on the ride and from as well as interesting tidbits. We saw a lot of animals and lush vegetation. He was friendly and polite.

Saved us when tickets were sold out! - We couldn’t buy tickets to Hobbiton (sold out) and not only did they get us tickets they picked us up. Jason was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and punctual! He made the 5 different nationalities on board all feel included. We’d use them again in a heartbeat

Short, Fun & Sweet! - Warren was so fun to be around! He’s so friendly and takes good care of us. He lets us sleep on the way to the Shire which we were grateful for! It goes without saying that the Hobbiton was excellent. The views on the way to the set was exquisite. We stopped for ice cream on the way back. Looooved it. And we had a carpool karaoke on the way back to the hotel. What a fun energiser. 10/10 would go back to Auckland & Beyond. Keep it up guys!
