Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!★

Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.★

Reviews: Auckland: Tiritiri Matangi Island Ferry
Guest User2026-01-14
Excellent day spent amongst great native species. Great bird sightings. Our guide Vishnu was great. An absolute legend and we even saw a Tuatara in the wild. His knowledge of the flaura and fauna was amazing. Vishnu melded our group into a tight unit and we stayed together right to the end. If you can find this 81 year old legend of Tiro Tiri Matangi find the elderly Indian man amongst the guides. Great visit totally recommended.★

Reviews: Hobbiton Movie Set day tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-07-07
Everything was fantastic. We were brought from Auckland in a comfortable minibus. The guide and driver Adil was simply magnificent. He told us many interesting things about New Zealand and its history. The trip was comfortable and delightful. After the tour in Hobbiton, we were pleasantly surprised with snacks and water! It was very nice! My son and I were very satisfied with the trip and highly recommend this operator.
