Amazing experience! - Very well organized in every way! Loved the whole experience! Captured the essence of Hobbiton beautifully! Spring is a gorgeous time of year to go! The flowers were just beautiful and the hills were so green! The sets were perfect with incredible magical detail and Micky was a wonderful driver with great commentary along the way. Mackinzie was fabulous as a group leader and kept everything organized and moving as well as being fascinating. The lunch buffet and green dragon drink was so special too. Only think that could have been better were the instructions on where to find the tour. We were wandering around looking for the actual tour location. 102 Hobson Street address is not enough! Should add, Platform 5 or Column 5.....to be more specific. We wasted time looking in the wrong places.

Excellent guides, everything streamlined, great lunch. - Excellent guides - David was the coach driver, and was truly entertaining. Andrew was the guide at Hobbiton, and he was very good as well. They made the day special. Hobbiton itself is great, although it felt a bit rushed, but that's not the fault of the tour companies - there are SO many visitors here, and this is such a money-churning operation, that the system has to work like a conveyor belt. The lunch was excellent! Overhaul, I'd recommend it. Tip : the coach comes at stop 1 of the Bus Station at 102 Hobson St. There will be a girl on a desk outside who will give you the ticket. Be there early - our coach left at 7:07 (official time 7:15am) as everyone on the tour was already seated.

Awesome Hobbiton Experience - Very well organized. Everything is on time. Our bus driver was very knowledgeable about general info on NZ and sites we passed by while travelling to Matamata. In Hobbiton our guide Sam was very pleasant, very patient and engaging.

Hobbiton the Great - The tour was great and so was the drive along the way. Some interesting and awesome facts about NZ which was incredible. Rachel was an incredible host/driver. If you grab the food package don't eat before going as it was fantastic and plenty to go round.
