Reviews: Tauranga City & Scenic Sightseeing 2-hour Local Tour
Guest User2026-02-17
The tour was really good. Alan, our driver/guide gave us a good overview of Tauranga and the surrounding area. He was friendly, helpful and professional as well as being informative and added in little snippets of info about various things and his own experiences. A good point is that the tour leaves almost from the cruise port gates and is easy to find. Our tour was supposed to leave at 1030 and we had to be there at 1015. We arrived exactly then to find the 24 seater bus was waiting for us. Overall, an excellent tour and we fully recommend it to everyone but particularly to people who find walking a little difficult. Thank you.

A fantastic excursion with plenty of photo stops along the way. We had ample time to explore each location. The guide provided us with a wealth of information.
Reviews: From Auckland, New Zealand: Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tours
Guest User2025-01-08
Hobbiton is a magical experience for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Nestled in the stunning rolling hills of Matamata, it feels like stepping straight into Middle-earth. The attention to detail is remarkable—every hobbit hole, garden, and prop is immaculately maintained, making the set feel alive and authentic. The guided tour is informative, blending behind-the-scenes stories with insights into how the set was created. The highlight is the Green Dragon Inn, where you can enjoy a refreshing ale or ginger beer brewed exclusively for Hobbiton. The staff are passionate and friendly, adding to the immersive atmosphere. Whether you’re a Tolkien fan or just enjoy unique, picturesque experiences, Hobbiton is worth the visit. It’s a truly enchanting destination that brings the magic of the movies to life!
