  This experience was unique and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and this sentiment seemed to be universally shared by all participants. For the Hobbiton experience, you don't even need to have read all the books or have seen all the films - the tour is that engrossing. You will not see or experience anything remotely like Hobbiton outside of New Zealand - don't miss it. The Waitomo Caves - while the shorter of the combined trips, it was a reflective and awe-inspiring experience. As for the drive to get to both sites - also worth it to see and take in the countryside views featuring at times picturesque harbors and bays, and plenty of cows, sheep, horses, and even deer on deer farms (apparently New Zealand is the largest supplier of farm-raised venison in the world).

  It’s pretty dark inside but they have a good railing situation. Very informative and the acoustics inside the cave are phenomenal. Hopefully someone in your group will sing.

  The driver/tour guide ensured our safety along the way to our destination. He gave us more insights about some of the geographies in New Zealand as he drove us to our destination.

  Adil was a great guide and driver. He was upbeat and informative throughout the long day, which made the trip enjoyable. The van was clean and comfortable. The bulk of the price of this tour is for the entrance fee to Hobbiton and the caves.

  Hobbiton is fun to see even if you haven't seen the movies. Our guide at Hobbiton, Rob, was wonderful and made the experience very enjoyable. Waitomo caves were nice. Long way to go for a short experience but still felt it was fun. The scenery on the drive was beautiful.
