Reviews: Auckland: Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with Lunch
Guest User2026-01-09
Everything was magnificent, everyone in the group was very punctual, and the driver was a true expert. Although it's one of the more expensive tours I've paid for in Oceania, it's well worth it. Thank you.★

Reviews: Rotorua: One-Way Trip to Auckland via Hobbiton & Waitomo
Guest User2026-01-13
Our one-way trip from Rotorua to Auckland was incredibly well coordinated. Bush and Beach handled all logistics with ease. Both excursions lived up to the expectation set and our guide Damian was so knowledgeable and entertaining for the driving in between!★

Reviews: From Auckland, New Zealand: Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tour (with Auckland Hotel Transfers)
Guest User2025-01-08
Hobbiton is a magical experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Nestled in the stunning rolling hills of Matamata, it feels like stepping straight into Middle-earth. The attention to detail is remarkable—every hobbit hole, garden, and prop is immaculately maintained, making the set feel alive and authentic. The guided tour is informative, blending behind-the-scenes stories with insights into how the set was created. The highlight is the Green Dragon Inn, where you can enjoy a refreshing ale or ginger beer brewed exclusively for Hobbiton. The staff are passionate and friendly, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Whether you’re a Tolkien fan or just enjoy unique, picturesque experiences, Hobbiton is worth the visit. It’s a truly enchanting destination that brings the magic of the movies to life!★

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.
