Visiting Hobiton and Rotorua. Long day with an early start but worth the early start to see these two attractions.

Well organized, great operator! Haven’t seen the film before but nice to recognize the scenes afterwards. The area is great to see and like very much the geyser.
Outstanding Tour
Jim_S, Mar 2024
The tour exceeded our expectations in every way. Warren was an outstanding guide. He greeted us promptly, provided keen insights and knowledge, made us laugh and got us to where we needed to be in a timely and safe manner. Hobbiton and Rotorua were excellent to see. We were very happy we took this tour. Warren and the team are great and highly recommended.

Great tour for a day from auckland
Erica_W, Feb 2024
It was great weather and Dave was a great host. We had some tome to stop for coffee and pastry. The rotorua tour was great but the end was a bit rushed. The hobbiton tour was terrific and at a nice pace. Loved having someone else drive us and got great Intel on new zealand on the way!
An amazing day!

Hobbiton Movie set is a unique experience which makes another world come alive. Hobbiton is exquisitely beautiful with its detailed setting, set amongst rolling hills and lake.
A great tour day
Ldia_M, Jan 2024
it was a wonderful experience! We were with three children, and the guide Gary was always very receptive and attentive. Thank you so much, Gary, for your empathy and care for my family!
Tour guide was very good
ANNABELLE_C, Oct 2023
Although we have not seen the movie, I loved how they made the set and motivate us to watch the movie.
Fantastic guide and excursion
Jenna_L, Aug 2023
The driver Peter was fantastic and showed us a few extra places on the trip sense we had time. The trip was very fun and would highly recommend.
Gary for the WIN! Bilbao for the Gold metal.
Alva_P, Aug 2023
What a great tour. Our guide/driver/joke teller/ Gary was GREAT!!! What a great tour. Rotorua and Hobbiton made out for an awesome adventure. The small group atmosphere only works when you're lucky enough to have a great group. I would definitely recommend for EVERYONE.
Must go to experience!
Ivy_L, Aug 2023
We had an enchanting time at Hobbiton Movie Set with our awesome guide “Peter”. He was really accommodating, very pleasant, and very knowledgeable about the tour. He provided us with lots information on what on to expect in the tour. We were even offered with water & some snacks. He arrived on time and guided us well through the entire journey. Keep it up, Peter…an easy 5-stars for you! The Geothermal Valley was a bit disappointing as we were expecting mini lake versions of wai-o-tapu. While we understand that it’s a different place, the geysers were nice but we were expecting for a more unique body of water in the area. Overall, the experience is great & this Hobbiton Tour is highly recommended esp if you will have Peter as your guide. Kudos & thanks to you Peter
Awesome place
