Private tour is the way to go. Highly recommended.

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a private tour, which was exactly what I was searching for. The Hobbiton location is rather remote, and since I couldn't endure spending hours sitting in a tiny bus, I decided to book myself a private one. My tour guide was laid back and incredibly friendly. He even adjusted some of my scheduling in Rotorua because I had chosen to stay in a couple spots a little longer, specially in the LOTR gift shop. we stopped several times for refreshments. He was outstanding. Thank you.

A Must!!!

New Zealand was an exceptionally beautiful country with amazing scenery, welcoming people, and delicious food. Hobbiton and Auckland were the highlights.

Amazing trip with lots of fun and understanding of NZ cultural and life Carlos has a sense of humor and lots of story to tell Highly recommended

Excellent Guide for Hobbiton and Redwoods Adventure!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our trip to Hobbiton and the Redwoods, Whakarewarewa Forest, was absolutely amazing! Our guide picked us up from our hotel in Auckland and made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. After the magical experience at Hobbiton, they took us to the stunning Redwoods Forest, where we had time to explore the breathtaking natural beauty. What really stood out was how helpful and attentive they were throughout the day. Not only did they provide seamless transport, but they also gave us excellent recommendations on what to see and which tours to consider for the rest of our trip. Their friendly and professional attitude made everything stress-free and enjoyable. If you're planning to explore these incredible destinations, I highly recommend this service. It’s more than just transportation — it’s a complete experience with a guide who truly goes above and beyond to make your trip unforgettable!

Amazing experience!!

Published on Dec, 2024

*Amazing experience!! * Just finished an incredible tour of Hobbiton & Rotorua, and wow, what a trip! The scenery is absolutely out of this world The guide (Carlos) was super friendly and knowledgeable, always making sure we were comfortable and sharing great tips and stories about the area. The group vibe was awesome too, with plenty of time to explore on our own. Highlights? Definitely Hobbiton, the thermal Mud Pool in Rotorua, and, of course, all the incredible nature. Book the trip. You won’t regret it!
