9th April. Great day out, Wayne our driver was superb, very helpful, punctual & very informative about the area en route. Pick up after tour as stated & drop off at Hobbiton was as close as possible due to the rain. A must visit even if you're not a Tolkien/Hobbit fan. Note, the payment was in $US so higher than I expected when checking my bank statement
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this—really glad you had a great day out with us! Wayne will be so pleased to hear your kind words. He takes a lot of pride in making sure everything runs smoothly, so it’s great to know you found him helpful, punctual, and informative along the way. Hope we get to welcome you back again sometime.
Interesting, amazing, very well run attraction
Thank you for your kind words! We’re really glad you found the experience interesting and amazing, and that everything felt well run. That’s exactly what we aim for. Appreciate you coming along!
Excellent tour, highly recommend. Our driver, Matt, was friendly and very helpful. Knew when to talk and when to be quiet.
Thanks for the great review — really appreciate the recommendation! Glad you had a good day out with Matt. He’s great at reading the group and getting that balance right between sharing information and giving everyone time to relax and enjoy the ride. Thanks again for travelling with us, we’re glad you enjoyed it!
Our driver Matt was great! Had really good and sometimes humorous information to share about NZ. He was easy to listen to and did not talk too much. He was easy going and did a great job! We loved Hobbiton! What an amazing place!
That’s so lovely to hear — thank you for sharing this! Matt will be really pleased to know he made such a great impression. He has a real talent for reading the group and striking that perfect balance — sharing interesting insights (and a few laughs along the way) without ever overdoing it. It’s great to hear his style made the journey so enjoyable and easy to settle into. And Hobbiton really is something special, isn’t it? There’s just something about stepping into that world in person that feels a bit surreal — like you’ve wandered straight into the movie set but it still somehow feels peaceful and real at the same time. It’s one of those places that sticks with you long after you’ve left. We’re so glad you had such a great day out, and that both Matt and Hobbiton made it a memorable experience for you. Thanks again for taking the time to share this — it really does mean a lot!
It’s an incredible and memorable experience! I loved every moment of it. Despite the rain, it was very organized.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad to hear you had such an incredible and memorable experience and enjoyed every moment—that’s exactly what we hope for. And extra credit to you for embracing it in the rain! We’re pleased to hear everything still felt well organised despite the weather. Sometimes the rain even adds a bit of magic to the experience. Thanks again for taking the time to share this—we really appreciate it and hope to see you again sometime.

It was everything and more. It was a highlight of our trip to New Zealand and it did not disappoint.

This was a wonderful trip! Liam was a great driver and guide, giving background info about the areas we passed thru on the long drive there and back again. The 44 hobbit holes were fantastic and the hobbit house we toured was incredibly detailed. I wanted to move in! This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this — it’s so lovely to read. I’m really glad you had such a great day with Liam, he’s fantastic at sharing those little bits of history and stories along the way that make the journey just as enjoyable. Hobbiton really is something special, isn’t it? And that hobbit house… I know exactly what you mean about wanting to move in! So happy to hear it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thanks again for joining us, it truly means a lot.
Hobbiton Movie Tour was really cool - but transport by Expedigo Tours to location was cramped and uncomfortable. Our driver was an excellent safe driver and personable - but the actual transport in the sprinter Van for the 2+ hour drive was very cramped. They crammed in too many seats across 4 across vs. 2 and 2 configuration. The AC wasn't working well either too cold in the back and hot in the front. I always opt for small group tours - but for Hobbiton Movie set it really isn't necessary - you can take big comfortable tour bus to the location or look for small group tours with fewer seats or different configuration. At the Movie set they break you into smaller groups and put you on a medium sized tour bus to take you out to the movie set/farm for the actual tour so you're with a slightly larger group than you came with anyway.
Thanks for taking the time to share this — we really appreciate the honest feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Hobbiton and that your driver made a good impression, that means a lot to us. I’m sorry to hear the ride felt uncomfortable. We use German vehicles like Volkswagen and Mercedes Sprinters, and the seat sizing and layout are fairly standard for this type of vehicle. That said, we completely understand it can feel more compact compared to larger coaches, especially on a longer journey. Temperature can also be a bit tricky to balance in a van with guests from all over — some prefer it warmer, others cooler — but we’ll definitely take your comments on board as we’re always looking to improve the experience. Thanks again for your feedback, it really helps us do better.
