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!

It was a day that felt like a dream. The Hobbiton tour was one of the most important parts of my trip to New Zealand, and I was so happy to be able to do the tour with Beyond Tours. Fortunately, it started raining after our tour was over, so I felt relieved. Thank you for creating such happy memories ❤️

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!

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.

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.

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. ^^
