I'm going on an adventure! - This was a must do! As a LOTRs fan, this checked every box and honestly felt surreal. I just wish there were less people in all the photos of I took but short of a private tour, this wouldn't be possible. We had a great time and this became the highlight of our time in NZ. Well worth it!

Beyond my expectations- surreal to be sure. - Bring a hat- sunscreen, and pending guided tour or on your own- water. Immersive experience right from the get- if you’re a fan of the movies (and even the books come to life!), you will not be disappointed. A must experience!

Great experience - I really like the tour, hobbiton was the one of the things I had to go in NZ, Warren was fun and make the experience even more enjoyable. Even though it was a little rainy, everything was perfect.

Amazing tour - It's my first time in Auckland and the hotel that we're staying in recommended Auckland & Beyond Tours. The whole tour was amazing. Pick up was exactly on time. 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

- An 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.

Tourist-y? - As a BIG fan of the movie, i was excited to see the shire. I was extremely impressed with the tour, except i think it was a bit TOO touristy. If they possibly scheduled tours a lil more spaced out, i think the experience would be more enjoyable. It felt a lil rushed because there is always people in front and behind our group and it made picture taking a challenge as people were always in ur frame
