What an awesome day! Coming from someone that has never seen a Lord of the Rings movie, that’s huge! We had the best driver (Deane) who was so great at his job and just a great guy in general. The perfect way to see the countryside and even stopped for ice cream on the way back. I would recommend this to anyone and any age.
Thanks so much for this! We love hearing that you had such a great day, especially as you weren’t even a Lord of the Rings fan beforehand. Deane will be really happy to hear your kind words. He’s great at making the journey feel like part of the experience, and we’re glad you enjoyed the stops along the way (ice cream included!). Thanks for recommending us — it was a pleasure having you along.
We originally booked a combo tour thru Expedia for Hobbiton & Rotorua Māori Village with Lunch from Auckland. Unfortunately, due to we were the only ones who booked this, our tour did not meet the minimum amount of travellers. Fatema, reached out to me early in the week to inform me of our options. She was very detailed and timely. We chose to go with Hobbiton only since we already had plans. On the tour day, Deane, our driver drove us to and from Hobbiton movie set (it's a 2+ hour drive one way). Deane was punctual, informative, and professional. He didn't rush us and we took the appropriate amount of restroom and coffee breaks throughout the day. Once at the Hobbiton movie farm, another tour guide takes over. It was a perfect day with enough sun during our tour. Thank you for providing us a very memorable day. We would choose Expedigo Tours again! Tour tip: Don't worry if it rains. Expedigo and Hobbiton has loaner umbrellas.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're really glad we were able to find an option that worked for you when the original tour didn't reach the minimum numbers. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Fatema—she'll be happy to hear her communication made the process easy. It's also great to hear that Deane helped make the drive enjoyable and comfortable. We know it's a long journey, so we're pleased you felt well looked after along the way. We're thrilled you had such beautiful weather for your visit to Hobbiton and that it turned into a memorable day. Thank you as well for sharing the umbrella tip—it'll definitely help future travellers feel prepared. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to New Zealand for another adventure with us someday!
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.
