Hobbiton - not to be missed in Auckland - From the hotel pick-up at 6 am, to the tour itself, it was as mentioned. Warren our driver is very knowledgeable. The experience was more than what we expected. The guide from Hobbiton was very good too. We’re given enough time to take photos, and appreciate the sceneries. The weather all throughout was more than we can ask for. Definitely a must visit place for people who come to New Zealand/Auckland.

Book it now! Stop thinking about it! - Ever since the Peter Jackson movies I swore I would go to Hobbiton, the last real remainder of the filming. I thought I waited too long but my timing was perfect! We went in August which is NZ winter. It was a little cold but clear and great visibility plus the crowds were small. We had time to wander and I was in heaven. You can see the many posted pictures but the highlights were the actual Hobbit hole you can roam around in (the family named not terribly cleverly “Two-Foot”) The attention to detail was remarkable from photos on the wall, the fireplace, and even a real Hobbiton newspaper with articles you could page thru. Had a pint (or two in my case) at the Green Dragon, the bar and surrounding area felt so genuine! I would have stayed all day! We did the tour and had 2nd Breakfast in Sandyman’s Mill, which was a glorious shared feast with a bus load of congenial guests. Felt so great and like I was home in the Shire. I literally could not recommend this more. If you are a fan this should be mandatory. If you aren’t (terrible people) you will still love it! Go book it right now flights to NZ are still inexpensive!

A wonderful positive experience. - Everything was fantastic. We were brought from Auckland in a comfortable minibus. The guide and driver Adil was simply magnificent. He told us many interesting things about New Zealand and its history. The trip was comfortable and delightful. After the tour in Hobbiton, we were pleasantly surprised with snacks and water! It was very nice! My son and I were very satisfied with the trip and highly recommend this operator.

Worth it - Amazing and well worth-it. I left the hobbiton movie set as a fan and bought a book to start reading my first book of the series. The set was amazing, but more than that, the landscape, the hills and everything was so beautiful. The trip to hobbiton was also great. We were picked up from the hotel on-time and the drivers were very nice. We even went to see a manmade lake before heading back to Auckland.

Day trip to Hobbiton in Aug 2024 - Had an enjoyable and fuss free tour of the lovely Hobbiton. The end of winter morning drive from Auckland city to Hobbiton was also enjoyable, helped greatly by the soothing audio guide (live) given by our guide Adil who has a great sense of humor and resourceful to help troubleshoot when WiFi was not working. As for Hobbiton itself, it was way better than I had imagined and definitely worth the trip.
