We went on the Hobbiton... - We went on the Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Guided Tour from Auckland, and it was a fantastic experience! We especially appreciated the small group size, the comfortable vehicle, and how well everything was organized. The service was excellent from start to finish. Special thanks to Adil and Chris, who took great care of us — they were professional, friendly, and shared lots of fascinating facts along the way. Highly recommended!

Megical - It was amazing to see it live. They build a small village for LORT and Hobbit with amazing attention to details. Improvement proposal for Viator: make sure to send pickup driver contact number & car details one day prior to travel (not just address and time).

Must see. - What an amazing place! Much more than I expected. The details, the atmosphere and surroundings makes you feel like you are in the Shire. A must visit place for all Lord of the Rings fans. I recommend doing the “Second breakfast” tour because you are the first group in the Shire. Lots of opportunities to take pictures without having to maneuver around people.

A must while in NZ! - Our drive down to Matamata with Daved (Auckland & Beyond Tours) was really great. He was so knowledgeable and gave a us a wonderful primer on NZ history. Ask him about some great restaurant recommendations when you get back from Hobbiton! Sam, our tour guide at Hobbiton, was a riot! We got to see the entire filming location and grabbed a pint at the Green Dragon. Do not miss the walk-thru hobbit home! Get ready for some really good puns and dad jokes if you end up with Sam.

Worth the time - This has a bit of a drive from downtown Auckland but the experience is worth it. We had a wonderful guide from the time we entered the van till we got to the drop off point. Our Hobbiton guide was great and we had a wonderful experience.

Not only for Hobbit fans… - Beautiful country and a great way to see it is to tour a little outside of Auckland. Not very familiar with the Hobbits or Lord if the Rings but I was fascinated by what was more than a “movie set.”

Hobbiton - The tour was well arranged and punctual. People over there were super nice. My only problem was that a bit over price for 8-9 hours, I paid 124 € for transportation plus 80 € for entrance.
