A Must-Do Tour If You’re Visiting Auckland — See the Best of the North Island in a Day!” - I had an amazing experience with Auckland & Beyond Tours on our trip to Hobbiton and Te Puia! Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. Dave, our guide from Auckland & Beyond, was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole journey enjoyable with his insights. At Hobbiton, Danni brought the movie set to life with her fun and engaging storytelling, and at Te Puia, Rebecca gave us a fascinating tour filled with cultural insights and warmth. It was such a memorable day, and I can’t recommend Auckland & Beyond Tours highly enough!

Best day trip and intro to NZ! - This was truly the best start to our New Zealand holiday! We were lucky to have Nancy as our tour guide and driver on the Hobbiton Movie Set/Rotorua/Te Puia day trip from Auckland. Nancy was very friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed and we were thoroughly introduced to historical and cultural aspects of New Zealand and the local area during the day. The day was perfectly timed at each location and we never felt rushed. Thank you to everyone involved in making our day so special, informative and so much fun. An unforgettable day, topped off with a Tip Top ice cream stop in Pokeno on our way home! Thank you Nancy! Just brilliant!
