Fantastic day
5 Stars. Vicki was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information over the day. Communication before and during the day was also fantastic. Thank you Vicki we will definitely be back.
As a LOTR/The Hobbit fan,...
As a LOTR/The Hobbit fan, visiting Hobbiton was a dream come true. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about how Peter Jackson “discovered” the place and glad they didn’t tear it down a second time so nerdy fans like myself can have the pleasure of geeking out over the hobbit holes. Wai-o-Tapu was also a pretty cool place to visit as I’ve never been anywhere like it. One thing I had to question—and my reason for taking off one star—is the other tourists in our group that was “allowed” to just purchase their Wai-o-Tapu tickets when we got there because they only initially booked the Hobbiton tour. Does that mean they paid less than those of us who booked the combo tour, meaning they more or less got free transportation to Wai-o-Tapu? It was never really explained. I just heard our tour guide saying that 6 people from our tour only booked the Hobbiton tour but decided to continue the day with us and will be purchasing their tickets at Wai-o-Tapu. If that was the case, then it would be not fair for those of us who paid full price.
Great Visit at Hobbiton and Roturua
The tour of Hobbiton was fantastic. It did not feel at all contrived or hokey. Exceeded expectations. And the people working there are so passionate and knowledgeable about this place. We also loved the walk through the geothermal rocks et al in Roturua. Really interesting. A great day. Matt was a great tour guide, providing us with a lot of information along the way.
LOTR movie set is Fantastic. 2 thumbs up. Waiotapu is out of this world!
Ark, our tour-driver guide was great. He was friendly, made the trip interesting with his knowledge of destination. His passion is felt and much appreciated. Definitely a fantastic trip and would highly recommend it. Maria,Yolanda,Angelita and Melinda
Great tour and guide, bad booking experience
Horrible booking experience. They let me know 2 days beforehand that the tour was being cancelled due to not enough people (I had booked months in advance). One option was to book a similar tour that was $150 more NzD so I had to pay the difference and upgrade. The tour itself was fun and the guide was the best. Timmy went out of his way to make sure everyone had the best time, 5 star guide and class act.
