Traveler reviews
Rotoura from Auckland via Hobbiton
Our tour guide Simon was so friendly and welcoming. Everything was so stress free & organised. We had the option to add on a trip to Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, which we took. We really enjoyed our trip and I definitely recommend you book if you’re wanting to a way to get to Rotoura from Auckland. Such a calming drive with amazing views. Cannot recommend more.
AKL-ROT via hobbitan, great experience!
Great tour! Super informative! Loved having that lil bit extra time in hobbiton compared to other tours! John our guide was fantastic, even though we weren’t booked in for the Waiotapu he was easily able to add us on and get us sorted for that extra bit, highly recommend!
We all hobit sometimes
What a great day it was. It began early, really early, but the drive went by fast. We were only three in our group and that was an opening for a unique experience. Timmy, our guide, was brilliant leading genuine discussions and telling stories about the area and about NZ. Just a great day. I'm very happy with the tour and can't recommend it enough.
A Grand Day in Hobbiton
Lovely tour. Very punctual and hospitable. Grant took care of me and others anwering any questions and prepping for all contingencies from traffic to your times while still allowing time for shopping and even a Hokey Pokey stop. He's kind, patient and extremely efficient and knowledgeable about the area and even have recommendations for other restaurants and experiences. Hobbiton to was well handled all around and a great experience especially for fans of the movies. Had a great day overall and thanks again to Grant for making it particularly special!
Fantastic all round!!
Amazing all around, thank you for all the help
