One of our favorites

We are very happy we were able to squeeze this tour into our schedule. Hobbiton is one of our favorite stops so far even though it was a rainy day. Hobbiton does have umbrellas for free to use. The Hobbiton guide was fun and engaging. The Navi Tours driver was professional.

I'm glad I went.

We had a free day on a tour trip and found this one as we were wondering what to do. I was only able to see one Lord of the Rings, but it was so much fun and soothing and quite pricey, but I'm so glad I took part. One downside was that many of the guides were hard to hear while traveling with other groups in large groups. How about introducing a guiding receiver? I thought so.

It was a great satisfaction.

The English garden, the fields, the house, they were all lovely and scenic, and you didn't have to understand "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit" to enjoy it. The local tour guide, a woman, was cheerful and comfortable. We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour and also we were very happy to see Aurora on our last night.

My dream of visiting the filming site of Lord of Rings finally came true with this trip. The Hobbiton movie set was great! We were very lucky being able to enter the a Hobbiton hole to see its interiors. A very fun experience!

It was a great day.

My wife and I went on a tour of Hobbit Village and Waitomo Aardvark. On this day, we were on our own tour and learned a lot about New Zealand along the way. I asked a lot of questions and asked about Recommendations, and I often went to every restaurant I told them about. It was a limestone cave and aardvark tour in the morning, but it was actually a tour taught in Japanese, with about a dozen locals following me a little further behind. I was able to spend a lot of time looking around the limestone caves in such a way that the three of us could virtually monopolize the space. The Japanese Guide was detained because the ship approaching the earthen firefly was over capacity. We arrived at the hub of the Hobbit Village Tour at just noon and had a slow lunch thanks to all the procedures that were done while we were having lunch. The Hobbit village tour miraculously missed the rain forecast and we were able to see the village in the best weather. The tour was filled with information about the actual set and behind-the-scenes stories about the movie. My wife and I had such a special affection for going to Hobbit Village that we are really grateful for making it happen in such a best way. Thanks to you, I think I could have done more in that limited time. Still, the Hobbit village was so well-built that I think there is still a lot to see. I thought I would definitely come again, and I would ask Navitours to come again. Thank you so much for making one of our dreams come true.
