Traveler reviews
Perfect from start to finish
Was a great experience from start to finish, the guide Grant was on time to pick us up, very friendly and very informative, made the trip very comfortable and hassle free. Hobbiton was amazing, a must go to if visiting New Zealand. Thanks Marie, Joe & Shania. Sydney NSW
I recommand
John was amazing and the tour was on time and very well organized. Knowledgeable guide and amazing sceneries.
Amazing
Perfect experience if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings. The final visit to Te-Puia is the perfect ending for the trip. I recommend the one-way tour, and spend an extra day in Rotorua.
Great tour
Really glad I got to see Hobbiton while visiting New Zealand and even better that this tour was available to do in one direction as it got me to Rotorua from Auckland.
Rotoura from Auckland via Hobbiton
Our tour guide Simon was so friendly and welcoming. Everything was so stress free & organised. We had the option to add on a trip to Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, which we took. We really enjoyed our trip and I definitely recommend you book if you’re wanting to a way to get to Rotoura from Auckland. Such a calming drive with amazing views. Cannot recommend more.
