  • What a wonderful tour...

    What a wonderful tour with a great tour guide, including the tour bus driver. The tour is highly recommended even if you’re not a fan of LOTR or hobbits. The scenery was incredible with the rolling hills, and there were so many hobbit holes. The buffet that we had was really good considering it’s a buffet. Our bus driver was very informative and always kept us on schedule. Our tour guide through Hobbiton was really nice, informative and funny. We would do this tour again!

    Our driver, Hannah, was excellent. On the way to Hobbiton, she gave information about Māori culture and Rotorua. As we got closer, she talked about the movie sets. Once we arrived we had another guide for the set tour. Walking through the set was magical- so many amazing details. The tour ended with a beer at the Green Dragon and a good buffet lunch.

    Better that I was expecting! However at the end of the tour our bus broke so we had to wait and it ruined the rest of the day and the scheduled activities. The company’s actually running the tours need to do everything possible to minimize such problems. People in this tours is in a very tight schedule so they need to plan for the unexpected
