Truly magical - one of the best experiences in New Zealand. The surroundings are surreal; it feels like another world. The tour includes behind-the-scenes insights and stories that will make your journey even more amazing.

Such a fun day! Shout out to Todd! He was the best bus driver I’ve ever had. He is so funny and had great commentary. The glow worm caves were beautiful and Hobbiton was my childhood dream come true. This was a great day!

Highly recommend experiencing this small group tour of 5 to a maximum of 8 people! Our guide was Ash, an experienced guide who was very friendly, humorous, and helpful. He led us through the caves, explaining the cave structure, observing the creatures in the stream, crouching through crevices, and even tasting spring water along the way. Most importantly, we were able to take pictures of the area and even the glowworms (without flash, of course). The glowworm "starry sky" was also impressive because once our eyes adjusted to the darkness, the glowworms looked like thousands of stars on the cave ceiling, making us feel like we were on a wonderful cave adventure.

Absolutely loved the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour—it truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth! The scenery was breathtaking, the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, and every little detail of the set was beautifully preserved. The stories behind the filming locations made it even more special. The bus ride from The Shire’s Rest was smooth and well-organized, and the complimentary drink at The Green Dragon Inn was such a perfect ending to the tour. Highly recommended for both fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, or anyone who enjoys nature and storytelling. Definitely worth it—a must-do in New Zealand! 💚
