I had an amazing experience with Auckland and Beyond Tours, especially with Raymond as our guide. The Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves tour was absolutely unforgettable and one of the highlights of my trip. Raymond truly made my day special with his friendly personality, passion, and incredible knowledge. He shared so many interesting facts and hidden stories that most people probably don't know, which made the whole journey even more enjoyable and meaningful. He didn't just drive us from one place to another, along with that he made every moment engaging and informative. Hobbiton was like stepping into a magical world, and the Waitomo Caves were simply breathtaking. Raymond explained everything in such a fascinating way and kept us entertained throughout the trip. His attention to detail and genuine care for everyone made the experience feel personal and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, informative, and unforgettable tour experience. Thank you, Raymond, for making this such a special day!
Perfect one to explore and learn about the history that makes New Zealand unique. Raymond is the best tour guide, very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour.

Jon has been a really patient and helpful guide bringing us to both Hobbiton and Waitomo! 10/10 will visit again!
Hobbiton movie experience was an absolutely awesome experience .. Seeing the movie and standing on the movie site was an amazing experience. So glad we did this tour . Waitamo cave experience and glow worms together with boat ride was beautiful. Thank you to our tour guides in both places. Our tour bus driver,Geoff was exceptional in giving us information along the way and making our journey amazing and comfortable. Always checking on our group at every stop, offering us water and snacks. Thank you Geoff. You also made our experience today so beautiful.
