My family and I love the tour in overall. our tour guide, she was so professional and friendly (8:10 am 7/12). we are blessed with the good nice weather. i recommend to go in the morning, as it’s not that hot during summer.

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.

Our driver and guide, David, was very happy when we met him. I learned a lit of things and trivias about New Zealand as well as Auckland. He was very nice. The time for the tour was enough. Our guide within the Hobbiton, Kingston, was so funny! he was very effective as a guide.

I highly recommend this tour! It was incredibly comfortable, perfectly organized, and our guide, Anthony, was absolutely fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. The entire experience was educational, enjoyable, and truly satisfying from start to finish.

This tour was incredibly well organised and the small group size made the experience feel personal and relaxed. Hobbiton was absolutely magical — beautifully maintained and even better in person. Waitomo Glowworm Caves were breathtaking and unlike anything I’ve seen before. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great insights throughout the day. Transport was comfortable and everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a memorable and stress-free experience!

We had an amazing time yesterday at the Hobbiton Movie Set and the glow worm caves. Even you have not watched the movie, as most of those who joined the tour, you'll still have a good time. Hobbiton is so beautiful. We had a good time with our driver Raymond from Auckland and Beyond Tours. He shared a lot of information about NZ. The tour was worth it.

It was an extremely satisfying packaged day tour led by Dave. He was very friendly and caring toward all of us and was super knowledgable of the area as we rode on our scenic drive. Loved the knowledge bits that Dave provided to us. Everything was well arranged and catered for us smoothly including the tickets, and not to mention the comfortable ride in the Mercedes van! We thoroughly enjoyed our Hobbiton and Rotorua tour with Dave! Highly recommend.

This is a tour service that picks you up from Auckland and tours Hobbiton and Wai-O-Tapu. The guides, Ark and Sam, are very kind and always approach you first to offer help. There were 14 passengers, and all the seats were full, but the seats were wide and comfortable, so there was no discomfort, and we were so friendly that we said goodbye to each other when we parted. We were the only Koreans, and there was only one other Asian person besides us, but even if you don't speak English very well, the guides Ark and Sam explained the important things several times so that you could understand them, and they told us about the scenery along the way and New Zealand travel tips, which was great. Thank you for leaving us with happy memories. ^^
