A happy place to go - Our driver Matt was great! Had really good and sometimes humorous information to share about NZ. He was easy to listen to and did not talk too much. He was easy going and did a great job! We loved Hobbiton! What an amazing place!

There and Back Again - This was a wonderful trip! Liam was a great driver and guide, giving background info about the areas we passed thru on the long drive there and back again. The 44 hobbit holes were fantastic and the hobbit house we toured was incredibly detailed. I wanted to move in! This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you!

Movie Tour was really cool - but transport to location was cramped - Hobbiton Movie Tour was really cool - but transport by Expedigo Tours to location was cramped and uncomfortable. Our driver was an excellent safe driver and personable - but the actual transport in the sprinter Van for the 2+ hour drive was very cramped. They crammed in too many seats across 4 across vs. 2 and 2 configuration. The AC wasn't working well either too cold in the back and hot in the front. I always opt for small group tours - but for Hobbiton Movie set it really isn't necessary - you can take big comfortable tour bus to the location or look for small group tours with fewer seats or different configuration. At the Movie set they break you into smaller groups and put you on a medium sized tour bus to take you out to the movie set/farm for the actual tour so you're with a slightly larger group than you came with anyway.
