Our tour included the movie set but also a stop at an amazing honey shop and other points of interest. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us on time to get back to the ship. Highly recommended.

My first tour booked through La Vacanza Travel. Steve was a wonderful driver, who took us to several additional short stops, making the trip well worth it!

We had a wonderful time on our tour to Hobbiton with bis driver and guide Steve who was helpful, informative and genuinely loves showing people around. Hobbiton is beautifully maintained and one of the highlights of our New Zealand holiday.

We arrived on a cruise ship and there was a van waiting for us as we exited the port area. Our driver/guide to Hobbiton was Rolf. He gave a history of the area and how the site was selected for the filming.
Once we arrived at the Shire Store, we had some time to shop and get something to eat before our scheduled time to board the Hobbiton Bus.
Our guide as we walked through Hobbiton was Jordan. She did a fantastic job. She took pictures for anyone in the group that that asked.
On our way back to the ship, we had time to stop and walk to McLaren Falls, stop at a Kiwi Orchard and stop at Mossop’s Honey Shoppe for ice cream, which was included. Rolf did a fantastic job.
