Bucket list ✅
Jocelyne_D, Apr 2024
It was very surreal to be there. It’s been a dream to go there my sister and I so it was nice that we were finally able to do it together. We are big fans of the hobbit and Lord of the rings., highly recommend to see a trip to New Zealand is not complete until you see
Worth your time and money!
Richard_E, Mar 2024
The whole set-up is excellent. A 1st class operation. All of the employees are positive and helpful, that was impressive. Our tour guide Rob, made the tour. So many facts and details and his humor pushed the tour over the top
Well worth the adventure!
James_D, Mar 2024
Great trip booked with viator through Auckland and Beyond. Our driver Warren was great and very knowledgeable pointing out things along the way and back. Hobbiton it self was well worth it. It's about an hour 1/2 walking town through the hills of Hobbiton! I would easily book this trip again.
I totally recommend this...
Pannakorn_N, Mar 2024
I totally recommend this tour they are so professional,I really had a great time with them very nice service
Amazing but not a small group
Andrea_B, Mar 2024
The trip was amazing and very organised. My only disappointment was that we paid extra for a small group of no more than 11. Our transport bus had 18 people but our tour group was around 40, a full coach
Great scenery
RICHARD_H, Mar 2024
Beautiful spot on the farm, with great construction to build a hobbit village. It has been a long time since I saw the movies, but the detail in reconstruction is remarkable. We had a perfect weather day to visit. Our site guide had 30 people to corral, and her delivery would have reached more people, if she found an elevated spot to turn to the group to present.
A must to go

fantastic

LOTR, not much else to say. The tour was fantastic, the tour leader was great. Hobitton was amazing, staff were very organized and very informative throughout the tour.
Easy and reliable
Allison_J, Mar 2024
Easy. We used our own transport because we had another tour but this allowed us to see hobbiton with last minute tickets. Great option.
Great set but disappointing
Terry_S, Mar 2024
The set was fabulous but we couldn’t hear the guide due to the large number of people with us. Smaller groups or whisper headsets would have been helpful. Also might allow 15 minutes between tours so we aren’t on top of each other. At one point we could hear the guide behind us. The umbrellas also proved to distance us but not everyone prepared for the rain which was forecast.
If you are into the movies; do this trip.
Gregg_P, Mar 2024
We had a nice sunny day and it was fun. Because you can actually go into a house it was very interesting. Long day in the bus though.
Great trip to Hobitton...
Harry_Z, Feb 2024
Great trip to Hobitton from Auckland. Paul was the best guide ever. Highly recommend this small group tour.

Mike_C, Feb 2024

Hobbiton adventure tour
Karen_M, Feb 2024
Once picked up the entire trip was great. Gary was fun and informative. The pickup location was quite far from our hotel and 6 others guests were picked up 2 blocks away from our hotel. Need better communication regarding this. Hobbiton is amazing.
Once in a lifetime memory
Rose_H, Feb 2024
Everything was fantastic loved every moment .Victor our driver was extremely helpful and the whole experience was wonderful
Very worth the time and cost. A must see
AnthonyJoseph_Q, Feb 2024
Hobbiton is a visually stunning location even if you are not a fan of Lord of the Rings. My wife only went after much convincing and then when we got there she didn’t want to leave. The guide was fantastic and the site was extremely well cared for(staff of over 300!). Van driver “Paul” gave excellent commentary on NZ on the drive to Hobbiton and was great about getting in a rest stop and still making our tour time
Great day
Diane_R, Feb 2024
The tour was great. We even went in to one of the houses. The amount of time was great and on the way home we drove through the countryside instead of the highway.
Fun day trip
Mark_S, Jan 2024
Smallish group sizes. Very good about explaining what was in the different moves. Having a drink in the pub was awesome.
It was so cute!
Gillian_Y, Jan 2024
Hobbiton was as cute as I thought it would be. Was really fun to see the familiar scenes from the movie. The tour was informative but the whole area was much smaller than I had envisioned but it worked. Interiors of two of the hobbit holes were finally finished in Dec 2023 so it was fortuitous that I went in Jan 2024 to see inside the hobbit homes!
Thank you Chris
Chris_W, Jan 2024
Thank you Chris for a great day. Your knowledge of NZ allowed you to answer all our questions. And thank you for going out of your way to ensure we got to our next destination (the Foo Fighters) on time.
