It's a wonderful village where the hobbits seem to open the door and come out to welcome you.

Memorable Private Tour

It was nice to get the schedule three days ago. The guide was friendly and had water ready in the car, making the trip from Auckland to Hobbiton enjoyable. Even during the long drive, the guide engaged in small talk, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. He also found great spots for photos, and at the end of the tour, he suggested places to explore in the city and good restaurants nearby for the next day. Despite being worried about being bored during the private tour for two, I think we got great service for the price.

Such a wonderful day trip

I thought it was a small group tour, but I was a bit surprised that it was just our party. We had a very comfortable tour as a duo. It was a packed and fulfilling trip for a day. All the tourist spots were fantastic, and thanks to the passionate explanations from the guide, we enjoyed the trip throughout! I think we made a good choice. Highly recommended!

A fun day tour of New Zealand with my husband

It was a very enjoyable trip. Thanks to the clear weather, I was able to take great photos wherever I went, and the entire trip was enjoyable thanks to the guide's friendly explanations and useful information about New Zealand. Water and small snacks were also appreciated. I was able to relax at the mineral spa I last visited, so I was able to relieve the fatigue of my trip and spend quality time with my husband.

SCAM COMPANY

0/5 stars. They did not pick us up and have not returned calls. Have not received refund nor explanation. Very disappointed ruined my dream trip.

Operator response

hello. You did not know the pickup address until the day before the tour, did not provide an address when booking, and did not respond to our messages. I made all the preparations, but I couldn't even send a guide. I received a call that morning, but the departure time had already passed and the tour could not proceed. We provided a full refund to the guest through Viator, but our loss was significant as we had paid both the guide fee and the tour site fee. It's a company that definitely exists, and although there aren't many reviews yet, it's a travel agency that customers like. I don't think this is just our fault. This would not have happened if you had filled out the basic information required when making a reservation and responded to our message in advance. This would never have happened, but I'm so sorry you couldn't go on your dream trip.
