Summary

After early morning pickup from your Auckland hotel in an air-conditioned coach, set out on the scenic journey to Hobbiton. Enjoy a guided tour of the movie set, which has been preserved just as it was in the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' movies. See the farm on which the set was built, then venture into the Shire to discover the world of Middle Earth. Listen as your guide tells you about the filming of the movies, recalls stories from the set, and points out real props seen on screen. See Bilbo Baggins’ home, the Party Tree, the bridge, and more. Afterward, stop at the Green Dragon Inn for a special Hobbiton-brewed cider, ale, or ginger beer, then eat a buffet lunch at the Party Marquee. Finally, you’ll be returned to your departure point in Auckland.
