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!
Reviews: North Island, New Zealand Hobbiton™ Movie Set Tours Admission Ticket (Chinese/English)
Guest User2026-03-04
The Chinese-speaking tour guide was good, but there wasn't enough time for taking photos. Or rather, within the same group of about ten people, several girls each occupied a photo spot, taking twenty or thirty pictures in a row, completely refusing to let others take photos. Then, before we could even get our pictures taken, the guide said the next group was coming soon and we had to move. Later, we spoke to the guide, and he said he could take some photos of us before the next group caught up, so we were able to get some pictures.

The Hobbiton Movie Set Tours were very wonderful trips and we had a great experience with all the movie set scenes. We enjoyed the bus ride from the pick up time to drop off very accommodating. SAME, the bus driver was great guy, very knowledgeable, and really informative about the areas.
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.
