Description
Take a tour from Auckland to the Hobbiton Movie Set and see the farm that was transformed into a Middle-earth filming location. Your Hobbiton tour starts with a scenic drive through the beautiful Waikato countryside. During your coach trip your local driver guide will entertain you with stories and information about the region and its history.
Just outside the town of Matamata is your destination: Middle-earth! Sir Peter Jackson and his team knew this private farm would make the perfect spot to build the village of Hobbiton for the award-winning The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movie trilogies. Take a guided tour and see the picturesque village you saw on screen in living colour before you.
All tours of Hobbiton Movie Set now include an interior Hobbit Hole™ experience, designed and crafted by the renowned creative teams behind The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies. Located on Bagshot Row™, these Hobbit Holes offer an authentic glimpse into the charming dwellings of Hobbits going about their daily lives in the Shire™.
See the Hobbit holes, the Party Tree, the Mill and many other structures from the movies, while learning about how the set was built. You might even hear a few secrets from behind the scenes!
After exploring Hobbiton, stop in at the Green Dragon Inn and enjoy a complimentary beverage from the Southfarthing range, before following your guide to the Party Marquee.
Enjoy a buffet-style lunch inside the Party Marquee, adjacent to The Green Dragon Inn. With themed tables, bursting with hobbit fare, dine family style with your group to conclude your Middle-earth adventure.
After your Hobbiton Movie Set tour concludes, return to Auckland, arriving at approximately 3.30pm.

Vale muchísimo más de lo que cuesta. El visita guiada al set de rodaje de Hobbiton en inglés llegó justo cuando lo necesitábamos. El guía contaba historias que no están en ninguna guía de viaje. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

Una experiencia redonda. Lo de Middle Earth fue el broche del día. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. No lo dudes, reservalo.

Deu tudo certo, com um detalhe que comento abaixo. Passar por Auckland já valeu o tour todo. Tudo pontual e bem organizado. Dá para fazer tranquilo sem preparo físico. Éramos vários e não conseguimos assentos juntos. Faria de novo de qualquer forma.

Correcto
Muy buena experiencia en general. Buen guía, correcto y amable. El recogida y regreso al hotel de cortesía disponible vale por sí solo. Se puede hacer tranquilo sin estar en estado físico. La frecuencia entre unidades podría ser mejor en las paradas del final. Vale la pena, sabiendo lo anterior.

Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Ojo con el calzado, conviene algo con buen agarre. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. El banquete de Hobbiton: Almuerzo de fiesta servido en la carpa para fiestas nos resolvió el día. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Pleasantly surprised. I compared prices before booking and this was the best deal. The driver pointed things out all the way to Terra Média. The wifi they advertised did not work. We would book again.
