Reviews: Small-Group Hobbiton and Waitomo Day Tour with Lunch from Auckland
Guest User2024-07-01
The whole family had the most amazing day with Murray visiting thr Hobbiton village and the Glow worm caves. Murray was extremely knowledgeable and explained things and places with great detail. Bush and Beach are lucky to have him.
He made sure we had a great time in the bus, while we stopped for a coffee break, at the movie set and the caves. And all through the drive as well. ★

Reviews: New Zealand North Island Hobbiton™ Movie Set + Waitomo Glowworm Caves 1-day tour (Auckland/Rotorua)
Guest User2025-07-29
Great trip. Hobbiton was very impressive, even for someone who is not a fan. The driver was very knowledgeable and talked the whole journey. The Waitomo caves were not all that impressive but it was ok to do alongside something elseAbout
