    Well organized at Hobbiton. Van pickup was prompt. Didn’t love time change from 6:45 am to 5:30 am. Van driver Alfredo was excellent!

    A wonderful 2 1/2 hour guided tour of Hobbiton with an opportunity to go inside one of the hobbit homes and a visit to the Green Dragon Inn for a drink. Alfredo was our driver to and from the location and he was awesome with snacks and bottles of water and even umbrellas, which unfortunately, we did need during parts of the tour. Alfredo made convenient bathroom and coffee and ice cream stops and took us into a small town with different options for a lunch break after our tour. He was very informative about the areas we were driving through also.

    If you are a LOTR fan you'll really enjoy this trip. I had an excellent tour guide Alfredo. Once you reach the site you are taken by Hobbiton buses to the site for about 2.5 hr. tour and inside Hobbit house tour.

    This tour was like walking through the books. You are a part of something you’ve only imagined! AMAZING! The attention to detail was astounding! Loved it. Our guide drove us from downtown Auckland and was top notch. He assisted all passengers, provided intimate details of all aspects of the sites during the two hour drive. His local knowledge was informative and all encompassing! It was a fabulous day with door to door service in an air conditioned new Mercedes Benz! Loved it!
