Our tour guide/ driver, Adil was very accommodating and knowledgable. He shared a lot of interesting facts & history about New Zealand. The whole trip was comfortable. I'm glad that we booked the trip. Thank you, Auckland & Beyond Tours

5.00An unmissable excursion. It's a long day with a two hour drive each way and 2 to 3 hours at the venue. This is transport only with Simon our very talkative guide give lots of history of NZ, Auckland and the Hobbit etc both directs. Left very early to beat traffic so be ready for that if the tour doesn't pick up at your hotel it can be 20 min to pick up point. At the venue they have small group buses about 30 people and a guide from the place. So its well done a professional. There are now two complete house that are fantastic to visit and renovations going on in preparation for another movies. The kids on the tour of the area were so excited and had a great time as did we.
Great day trip!

5.00We went on the Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Guided Tour from Auckland, and it was a fantastic experience! We especially appreciated the small group size, the comfortable vehicle, and how well everything was organized. The service was excellent from start to finish. Special thanks to Adil and Chris, who took great care of us — they were professional, friendly, and shared lots of fascinating facts along the way. Highly recommended!

5.00It was amazing to see it live. They build a small village for LORT and Hobbit with amazing attention to details. Improvement proposal for Viator: make sure to send pickup driver contact number & car details one day prior to travel (not just address and time).

5.00What an amazing place! Much more than I expected. The details, the atmosphere and surroundings makes you feel like you are in the Shire. A must visit place for all Lord of the Rings fans. I recommend doing the “Second breakfast” tour because you are the first group in the Shire. Lots of opportunities to take pictures without having to maneuver around people.
