Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with lunch from Auckland

Lindawaty_D, May 2026

Exceptional trip and a lifetime of memory

Lord of the Rings was too long ago, can't really remember the storyline. But our tour with you to the movie set won't be forgotten anytime soon. Thank you for a good time Dave, who is super informative and genuinely knowledgeable in what he is sharing. You made the difference! We are lucky to be guided by a fan of The Hobbit when it's time to tour the ground of Hobbiton; Rob who lead us along 'the Middle Earth' and let us oohh enjoying "a morning to be good on".

James_G, May 2026

Great Tour

We loved the tour! Ben was prompt on pickup, the car was nice and very comfortable, he repeatedly gave us snacks and water (which helped with a 3 year old), and getting a private driver was perfect for us. Lots of windy roads would have been tougher in a van or bus. The sites were beautiful and memorable. We loved the whole trip and are very glad we chose this company. Thanks Ben!!

Auckland City Tour - half day

It’s a good way for the first timer in Auckland to explore the city. Sean, our tour guide is very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. He takes his time to make sure our questions are answered and we are comfortable. He drives so gently. He recommends us places to go and to eat which are very helpful. I would recommend this tour.

Step Back in Time

Heinrich, our driver and guide had a great personality and was very descriptive on the way to Hobbiton. Plus he arranged our tickets and was very careful to meet up with us after our tour. The tour of Hobbiton was terrific. What a beautiful farm with beautiful gardens and lush landscaping. It was done with a leisurely pace and our guide led us by the variety of Hobbit homes. He also explained how Hobbiton became a permanent part of the farm, which we thought was a stroke of genius on the part of the owner proposing a joint venture with Peter Jackson. It was beautifully done. The gardens, flowers and grass's, so meticulously maintained. The complete homes at the end of the tour were spectacular with so many incredible details.

We enjoyed this trip from the moment Aaron picked up Us at the hotel. While driving he gave us many informations about NZ, its population, vegetation, food, great places to visit. The all day was well organized with the right time at each place. The discovery of geysers and of the Māori culture will stay a great memory.

An Auckland must do

With a couple of extra days in Auckland I had asked on FB for recommendations on what to do. A couple of contributors replied that this was an absolute "must do". We duly booked it for the afternoon of our arrival. With glorious sunny weather it seemed we were all set for a memorable afternoon. Unfortunately when we turned up we were advised that due to winds it would not go ahead. Clearly safety was of utmost importance so gold star for that. We were offered the opportunity to receive a refund or to rearrange. Staff at the desk went out of their way to assist us. We were lucky enough to be able to rearrange and for the sail to go ahead. And it was certainly a memorable one for our last day in Auckland I think the yacht can take 30 passengers but i don't think there was a full contingent. The crew were friendly whilst at the same time being professional. Safety procedure were clearly explained to us. The crew explained the history of the yacht to us and engaged with us continually. There is an opportunity to actually help with crewing the yacht and it was certainly tempting to .join in. However we just took the opportunity to sit back and enjoy an exhilarating experience. It might not be the cheapest of experiences but we loved every minute and were so glad we did it.

Excellent tour. Highly recommend.

This was an excellent tour of Auckland. We were very comfortable in a Mercedes Van and our guide, Danny, was very knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed his commentary. We had taken a previous half-day tour that went to a few of the same spots, but Danny showed us more at those sights that we had missed on our previous tour. We stopped at a lovely restaurant where we purchased wonderful, tasty dishes and enjoyed a beautiful view. It was truly an enjoyable day.

Rotorua Experience

Great tour, if you’re wanting two and one tour, this is a great . The tour guides were fantastic, the tree walk was fantastic and a little scary if you’re a great height, but it’s well worth it. The Geysers & Maori cultural tour was also the thermometer and great to see.

Wonderful tour with my two young kids and husband

We stayed the night before at the SkyCity hotel and easily found the tour the morning of. We had a great time with our driver who gave a lot of facts during the drive down to Hobbiton. We were well organized and got a chance to see everything at the movie set.
