Your guide will show you Hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, the Party Tree, the Mill, and many other structures from the movies. You will also be able to venture beyond the door into an authentic Hobbit Hole interior on Bagshot Row. Then enjoy a tasty lunch at The Party Marquee before making your way back to Rotorua.

Great Sights comfortable bus ride & amazing Hobbiton Movie Set Tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

The Hobbiton movie-set tour had us in heaven. It is truly a delight to see all the well-loved sites & sights come to life, as well as to learn all the interesting history and techniques that were used to make the Shire from Jordan & Danny! Hanna (evil-twin Sheila) and Rachel made the rides from Rotorua to Matamata, and from Matamata to Auckland interesting and go by quickly, for which we are very appreciative.

Fabulous place to visit

Published on Feb, 2025

Absolutely loved the whole tour so much to see. We also had lunch at the site which was excellent too. Great commentary from our guide too.

Don’t miss Hobbiton!

The Hobbiton set was very well done. Very organised and true to the movies. Our guide Taylor was very knowledgeable, engaging and fun.

There and back again

Hobbiton for the Day

Published on Feb, 2025

Better than expected. Lovely tour guide. Very enthusiastic and good fun. A self confessed geek. Loved going inside the house. Attention to detail was amazing. The lunch at the end was delicious.
