I had an incredible time on this tour! The Hobbiton movie set was even more magical in person, and our guide shared fascinating insights into the filming process. A must-do for any LOTR fan! The Waitomo Caves were simply breathtaking, with thousands of glowing glowworms illuminating the underground caverns.

At the beginning, you have to wait at Shire Coffee. A group will leave every ten minutes. You must arrive on time. A staff member will lead you to introduce each scene that appears in the movie. You may have the opportunity to visit the house.

The tour guide was on time and drove smoothly. The car was a 10-seater minibus from benz. The attractions were great. Whether you have seen the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit movies, it is worth a visit!

The tour guide explains carefully, the traffic is smooth, the shuttle bus leaves on time, the scenery is pleasant, and there are three drinks for tourists to choose from at the end of the trip. I will recommend this trip to my friends, thumbs up!

Jacob was our tour guide. He gave a full explanation and quotes of the movie during the tour and was kind enough to help everyone get a picture in front of a hobbit door. There are two hobbit holes ready for people to get in. All the interior details were amazing. Hopefully I can be a Hobbit next life haha. Highly recommend visiting this place !
