Luge and Hobbiton Tour - - We had a phenomenal day out with Auckland & Beyond Tours! We were looked after by an absolute legend by the name of Jon. He was extremely knowledgeable and had great stories about New Zealand’s history’s. He really made our tour authentic and enjoyable. When we come back to NZ, we would want him to take us around again. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing guide and a good time slot to do tours - Warren was very friendly and informative. During most of the drive, he spoke of various topics about maori culture, everyday in auckland and about landscape. Even if we booked for lord of the rings tour, i learned about new zealand in general as well. I particularly appreciated the time slot for hobbiton tour as it was quite early so less crowds and also you make it back in time for late lunch. would highly recommend them!

Great Tour and Guide - This was an excellent tour. Nancy was our guide and told us all about New Zealand on the bus ride to and from Hobbiton. Hobbiton itself was amazing. It was truly nice being there early before all the crowds. Bring your camera as you will many great photo opportunities.

Difficult to work with - Difficult to communicate with, they didn’t respond to cancellation in time and charged me $400 for the two of us. We got caught in the tropical storm on the South Island and couldn’t fly in. They didn’t respond in time and charged us.

Very Unreliable - The tour guide never showed up. I waited an hour and a half and kept calling the company who told me the driver was on their way. Finally they told me that the driver accidentally picked up the wrong people so we were out of luck and they would just refund us our money.
