Hobbiton trip - Hobbiton Was a great experience we loved every moment of it. I highly recommend it! The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because our local driver was not aware that the drive included the Hunua Ranges National park. He was super nice and it wasn’t his fault. Instead he did drive to One tree hill to make up for it. He normally drove people to the airport, he was very friendly but did not know the history or trivia about the areas to share with us like we normally get from a private tour guide

Hobbiton is enchanting - Hobbiton is beautiful and the attention to detail was amazing. The behind the scenes stories were fun. Our tour had people who had never seen any of the movies or read any of the books, they could hardly wait to do so. Our driver was not at ease in busy traffic, but knew the area and relayed local stories.

Worst experience that ruined our vacation - Our group of 10 was totally unhappy and unsatisfied with the service, it was so bad and frustrating that service was never received and we walked away from the service provider right on the spot. Service provider asked for an additional $200 fee, and refused to provide service unless money was paid upfront on the spot. No room for discussion, and terrible customer service. We recommend Viator not to subcontract to this local Legend Tour company, as it will bear a bad reputation to Viator.

Too expensive ride!! Just a ride! - It was only a too expensive transportation to Hobbieton! I did not realized that! Better to get Uber or other type of transportation to the place!! It even did not include the entry tickets!! Too expensive for just the ride!!! But the driver was excellent!! Very punctual!!!

Joe and Jaime visit - Wonderful day trip to the glow worms and the Hobbit farm
Driver was the best and took great care of us
Long day but worth the expense of a private car
