Feeling like you are in the movie

Published on Feb, 2025

Must see attraction in New Zeland, the Hobbiton was fantastic, the guide was very good and have made the tour even better. The visit of the inside of a hobbit house was amazing. Also the time to explore the city was much apreciate. Small advice, you could purchase also the ticket with this company if you contact them. I would highly recommend.

Very well organized. ...

Very well organized. Disappointed in the gift shop need more inexpensive souvenirs type of items. Ooo

Alan and Hobbiton A+++ 10/10

Published on Feb, 2025

An experience we won't soon forget! Alan was THE MOST EXCELLENT tour guide. He knows so much about the land and took us for a walk through the forest to a waterfall and pointed out the trees and glow worm habitats. He shared about the history of the region and had the most upbeat personality. The Hobbiton set was the best movie set experience, so well done and worth every penny!

Hobbiton tour to and from Tauranga cruise port

Published on Feb, 2025

Great trip from our cruise ship to Hobbiton with Stephen and Amanda with driver Alan. Modern air conditioned van with chilled water provided and home made brownies. Vegan snacks much appreciated as I had flagged this when booking.Great communication during booking process and during tour Alan looked after us and made us laugh with lots of information about the local area. The ship does not offer this tour so this is a good option, you can book your ticket for Hobbiton at the same time or separately but make sure you check the time of the tour they are joining. You will be allocated a tour guide for your tour of Hobbiton which takes 2.5 hours we visited McClaren Falls before our tour.
