Traveler reviews
Wonderful experience
The tour was definitely worth the price we paid for, and the lunch included was much better than we expected. Our tour guide Trent was awesome, he arrived early to pick us up and took good care of everyone. He’s friendly and provide us with heaps of information along the way. The Hobbiton movie set is a must visit and we were really happy overall.

Amazing trip
A huge thank you to Trent for an incredible tour! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience both fun and informative. His passion for the area and engaging storytelling really brought everything to life. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend taking a tour with Trent!
Well worth the long flight!
Dave was an excellent driver guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. He always had a smile on his face. The guide at Hobbiton was also great, no rush so we had enough time to enjoy the sights. He had a fine sense of humor, and was knowledgeable and obviously a fan of the LOTR. Wish we had more time at Waitomo, but the guide was funny and well informed, and it was still a good experience. Overall we definitely recommend this tour. Hope you will have the great weather as we had— sunny July winter in New Zealand
