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: Small-Group Hobbiton and Waitomo Day Tour with Lunch from Auckland
Guest User2024-07-01
The whole family had the most amazing day with Murray visiting thr Hobbiton village and the Glow worm caves. Murray was extremely knowledgeable and explained things and places with great detail. Bush and Beach are lucky to have him.
He made sure we had a great time in the bus, while we stopped for a coffee break, at the movie set and the caves. And all through the drive as well. ★

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.★
