Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Hobbiton Movie Set, 501 Buckland Road Matamata, Hinuera 3472 New Zealand

After a fully guided transfer from Auckland where you will see stunning scenery, great photo opportunities, beautiful mountains and several different farm animals we will arrive at the Alexander family sheep farm and Shire's Rest (the entrance to Hobbiton). Here you can see thousands of sheep, grab a bite to eat, get your coffee fix or enjoy an ice cream while we collect your tickets to the movie set.

Next, we board one of the big green Hobbiton buses to depart on a two hour fully guided tour of this amazing 12 acre movie set with a professional Hobbiton guide to ensure you get the most out of your visit. During your tour step into the lush pastures of the Shire, visit 44 hobbit holes, see amazing gardens, hear the secrets and stories about the making of the movies and enjoy a cold beverage at the famous Hobbiton pub The Green Dragon Inn.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Waitomo Glowworm Caves, 39 Waitomo Village Road, Waitomo Caves 3943 New Zealand

After your Lord of The Rings experience the tour continues west towards the stunning Waitomo region. There is a lot to see on the guided journey to Waitomo including hydro dams, beautiful farmland, race horses and the Kiwiana capital of New Zealand.

Before getting to the caves the tour will stop at the Waitomo homestead for lunch and a little surprise which we won't give away just yet!

Once in Waitomo you will explore the ancient and amazing caves seeing many different cave formations including Stalactites, Stalagmites, and Lime Columns before descending even further underground for your Glowworm experience. Board your glow-worm boat for a cruise on the grotto river with thousands of Glowworms sparkling above you. Unique to New Zealand for over 120 years, Waitomo Glowworm Caves are a must see for any traveller.

Duration: 2 hours

Simon was our tour guide and he was great. He was so friendly and gave us interesting information about the places we visited and New Zealand in general. You can tell he is very knowledgable and is very good at his job. The two places we visited were amazing, we loved them! It was also super easy to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel and having transportation to each place. Great value!! The price is totally worth what we did. Overall it was a wonderful day!

This was our first visit to New Zealand and we wanted to see Hobbiton. The small group size was perfect for us and better than a large bus. The driver was personable and informative, and we got to see some lovely countryside in addition to the two primary tour locations.

Enjoyed the tour very much even though it was raining for the most of the day. The tour guide was very good. We loved both attractions. Highly recommend.

It was amazing, the tour guide Jack was really good at explaining and give a bit of history for all locations we travelled through. Very well organised, good breaks in between for leg stretch, good options for lunch. Good sized tour, better experience and more personalised. And we got to get some ice cream on our way back to Aukland - nice hokey pokey flavour. Thank you!

Perfect guide, perfect place and perfect sightseeing. Kind of remind me the pleasure that I experienced from the movie, Hobbit. Excellent movie set. Thank you for a fantastic tour.

I had a blast on this tour and Jack our tour guide was so amazing!! He was very knowledgeable and very funny. Took us to get ice cream afterwards so who could complain.

The Good - Comfortable vehicle with only 6 of us for the tour. Pick up was on time and easy - Water and snacks were offered in the van. Although this was only done first thing in the morning and not again throughout the day - Stopped for a toilet stop on the way there and again on the way back for anyone that needed it - Hobbiton was well organised and the tour was amazing even for someone that hasn't seen the movies! Must go! - Caves were spectacular and a must see. Very different to caves that we have been in previously so glad we made the decision to attend these ones as we weren't sure it was going to be worth it - Stopping in for ice cream on the way back. Be warned everyone who had got a cone (as opposed to the extra 10c for a cup) had it dripping all over them and it wasn't even a hot day! The Bad - Unfortunately was our driver and 'guide'. This was the main reason we chose to go on firstly a small tour but just on a tour as opposed to hiring a car and going ourselves. Admitted he hadn't been doing this job for very long and it definitely showed. Was more interested in trying to be funny than tell us any useful information about New Zealand or the area. This was for sure the worst part of the tour and the reason for the low rating - The distance between places was longer than we thought. I guess as long as you are aware of it then should be ok - It's a long day, so be prepared for that, but at the same time was totally worth it for what we saw
