オークランド発ホビトン小グループツアー（パーティーマーキーランチ付き）

We had a lovely day on the Hobbiton tour with Bush and Beach. We had a lovely, knowledgeable driver/guide who made our day very enjoyable. The van was comfortable and it was nice that every seat wasn’t taken. The seats are quite slim, which is something to note. My only feedback would be that I thought that our stops on the way down and back were very random, I was anticipating a lovely little bakery or cafe/shop in a little town on the way down, however we stopped at the freeway/roadside stop. This was time efficient, I can understand, but I just would’ve really liked to have gone to a lovely little bakery, as Its own experience. On the stop back we stopped at a raceway to access the Cafe. Most of the other people in my tour enjoyed this, which I was happy for. However, it just felt a bit random to me. Overall, the day was very well managed, comfortable and enjoyable and I would definitely do a tour with this company again. Their customer service and communication is on point.

Had a super time on this tour of Hobbiton. Easy pickup right at my hotel in the central business district in Auckland About a 2 hour drive each way with a bathroom and coffee stop. The tour is amazing if you are a fan of the films. A drink at the actual Green Dragon pub and a huge buffet lunch was included with the tour and it was terrific. Tour guide chats during the drive with historical and cultural topics about New Zealand. A really fun day!

Ian was a safe, informative and friendly guide. He did a great job making sure we enjoyed our day with Bush and Beach.

I cannot recommend Bush and Beach highly enough for an excellent experience with them. One of their drivers picked us up from our hotel in Rotorua and drove us to the Hobbiton Movie Set to meet up with our main tour group with Bush and Beach - the transfer was seamless. Our Bush and Beach team met us at the end of the formal Hobbiton Tour at the Green Dragon Inn, and the tour group all had a sit-down buffet lunch as part of the tour package, which was excellent! The trip back to Auckland and the drop off at our hotel was also seamless. Many thanks to Bush and Beach for a great experience.

This review is mostly for the Bush and Beach tour company. It was really seamless and easy to communicate with Bush and Beach staff over the messaging system. They respond relatively quickly and are very informative and helpful. Our tour guide, Kelly, was simply one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had! Because it was a small group for this day, on our return trip, we asked Kelly all sorts of questions about New Zealand life and society. His many years of experience was valuable for teaching us about New Zealand and Hobbiton. We ended up chatting the whole ride back and he was so patient to be answering all our questions. As for the Hobbiton experience itself, we loved the small group feel of it. The timing of the tour and the lunch was perfect. We arrived to Hobbiton with enough time to experience the shop to use our $10 voucher, the cafe, and a restroom break. Our tour started at 9:40am and when it finished, Kelly met us at the Green Dragon as we were receiving our included drink. Then we were right on time for the 11:30 lunch at the party tent. We were the first ones there so the food was so fresh and delicious. After we were almost done with lunch, we saw a huge tour group come in and it suddenly became crowded. At that moment, we were so happy that we chose the small group tour from Bush and Beach! It was worth every dollar.

The Hobbiton tour was amazing and interactive and better than we expected. But Damian was a highlight as our tour guide. Every part of this day was exceptional, including the lunch. Damian goes above and beyond to ensure his guests have a great experience. He is informative, funny and exceptionally kind. Great day!

Meredith was our tour driver and she was very helpful and patient. We left a bag that we needed to bring for the day and she was kind enough to turn back and allowed us to retrieve it from the hotel. She was engaging and organized throughout the day and made the Hobbiton trip fun despite the long drive. Definitely recommend this tour! Just wished we had more time for pics…. The buffet was sumptuous and the staff encouraged everyone to go for seconds! What a fun day it was for everyone in our group!

Rain or shine the tour will go on. Luckily for us, the strong rain stopped to an intermittent light drizzle during the actual walking tour.

Tour was better than expected. We were picked up on time from our hotel. Our guide, Jason, from Bush and Beach was excellent. He was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Damien was an excellent driver and guide. Every detail was attended to and information was clear and communicated thoroughly. I highly recommend this tour and tour company
