A must to do. Even if you have not already read the books and watch the movies. We've been there with our grand daughter and enjoy every moment of the visit. The buffet was super. The guide was very interesting and jocking all the time. The driver of the coach from Rotorua (Anna?) was a pearl and was explaining the Maori and the country history: she was speaking slowly and with real conviction. A great day.

Definitely come with some comfortable shoes since there's a decent amount of walking even if the area isn't that big. Also you should rewatch the movies before so you can more essily identify the different scenes where they filmed different parts of the sets!

All the staff at Hobbiton were amazing! Happy. Friendly. Helpful. Knowledgeable. Clearly loving Hobbiton and their work there. I have limited mobility and was chauffeured in a golf cart driven by Ben. He was absolutely marvelous! Could not have been better.
Amazing place!

Amazing place! The detail and setting are wonderful. We had a beautiful day walking through the Shire, a pint at the Green Dragon and best of all getting into the Hobbit home! Our bus driver was very knowledgeable and learned a lot about the area along the way. Also our guide at Hobbiton was wonderful. Knew the trees, area and the Shire. Great day! Highly recommend!

If leaving from Rotorua there are no parking facilities available. This was extremely inconvenient and when I asked the bus driver all I got was a snappy response, park anywhere you won’t get towed but you will get a ticket and I leave at 8.15am with or without you. If the company can’t provide parking don’t provide the service. There was a family who missed the bus because of the parking issues, the driver said just drive there yourself. I wish I had driven there and not used your company

A fantastic experience for hobbit and non hobbit book/film lovers. The guides were superb and the new(ish) hobbit houses were something else.

A great experience of the LOTR set. Kirsten and Hannah were both funny and knowledgeable guides on the drive and on the tour. The buffet lunch was great as well.
