    Our guide, Chris, from Bush and Beach tours picked us up for the day on time and was an absolute pleasure throughout the experience. His knowledge of the local area and great personality really made our day. Thank you to the team. Hobbiton was amazing - scenery has to be seen to be believed. Highly recommend the marquee lunch too. Just amazing experience - five stars for sure!

  • Great tour!

    Fantastic day out. Damien was funny, informative about NZ and all things Peter Jackson and behind the scenes of filming. He was a great guide, we all felt like family by the end of the day! The Hobbiton experience was brilliant, especially the interactive holes. The area is picturesque and beautiful. A great buffet lunch and drink at the Green Dragon Inn. A must do experience and a fabulous day for the teenagers and I. Thank you!

  • Great tour, Hobbiton was extremely interesting a must see.

    This is a great tour. Even if you are not a Lord of the Rings fan Hobbiton is a fascinating place. The tour guide was outstanding. Very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. The lunch was better than expected. Exceeded every expectation.
