Tried to watch Lord of...

Ashley_R, Feb 2025

Tried to watch Lord of Rings in preparation, but do not our thing. Didn’t matter though because the experience was awesome! Such a cool place and the buffet was so good. Our tour guide was great and so interesting and knowledgeable. It was a long day, but was so worth it.

Better way for travelers going to Rotorua from Auckland.

HINGYIN_C, May 2023

Instead of taking bus for around 4 hours from Auckland to Rotorua, the tour provides a more comfortable way for traveling and visiting the popular Hobbiton Movie Set Tour. The tour was conducted in good arranagement but just a bit expensive.
