Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.★

Reviews: From Queenstown: Milford Sound Cruise & Glass-Roof Coach Tour
Guest User2024-07-28
We really enjoyed the bus trip there with our driver Shailendra who was very informative, insightful and fun. The cruise had some beautiful scenery despite the weather not being as good. The bus ride home was very long and quite a long day on the whole was the only downside for us but enjoyable experience on the whole.★

Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!
