What are people saying about Auckland

Robert_G, May 2026

Great way to start a vacation

This was an incredible bike tour that we thoroughly enjoyed. We particularly appreciated starting our vacation with a bike tour to get an insider’s perspective of the area and receive recommendations for restaurants and activities. Our tour guide was fantastic, and we highly recommend this tour. The eBike made navigating the city incredibly easy.

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.

Hobbiton and the glow worm caves

Wonderful experience even though the morning consisted of pouring down rain. The rain finally eased when we arrived at Hobbiton. It is beautiful and magical. We then had an ale at the Green Dragon pub and went to see the glow worm caves. It also is amazing. We made the drive back to Auckland but stopped for some Hokey Pokey ice cream. Excellent day and there were plenty of bathroom stops. Our driver/guide was named Warren and he is excellent.

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.
