I truly enjoyed the Hobbiton movie set tour. Loved that I was able to touch the houses and the props outdoors and indoors. Our tour guide, Jessie was very knowledgable about the LOTR movie and was really helpful with taking photos. Our bus was comfy and loved that it has Wi-Fi, the driver’s information about Auckland was extensive. My only suggestion is to have and 1 hour lunch break. We only had 45 mins and we felt rushed. We didn't even finish our desserts and take our last photos by the picturesque bridge near the restaurant. I’ll cherish the complimentary mug that was given before leaving the Hobbiton set. I use it now to drink my tea during breakfast.

The bus shuttel brings you to the Hobbiton Movie Set with additional information about the area. At the Hobbiton Set there is enough time to really see the set and have luch and some time for gift shopping.

Absolutely brilliant place, might be tricky if you’re disabled though , however looks like they’re building some ramp areas? Food is amazing and tour guide was brilliant, only complaint is the Asian lady inside the house you can walk around was pretty grumpy and trying to shift everyone along too quickly, she got grumpy and had a face like a wet weekend lol , apart from her it was a perfect day ,well worth the journey and the cost if your a fan .
