A very worthwhile Hobbiton tour.

Had a great trip. Our driver, Grant, was very friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable about New Zealands history and the Maori. Shared lots of good stories and drive was comfortable. Good to see Hobbiton after all these years. Pretrip, communication with Cheekykiwi travel was handled quickly and efficiently.

Hobbiton movie set

If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings you definitely should get this tour. The perfect place with amazing scenery made you think you are living in the movie! We go on February, the weather’s perfect not too hot not too cold. The sky is blue, beautiful for pictures. Sam is our driver for a day, we are appreciate him very much for his knowledge and very safe driving. Again, thanks Sam, you are definitely a Five star guy!

Hobbiton als fan live erleben

Super tolle tour. Unser hat uns die Geschte lebendig witzig und interaktiv erzählt. Alles hat bestens geklappt. Ich bin begeistert. Unbedingt anschauen. Die Fahrt hat unser Driver sicher und bequem in einem neuen Bus gemeistert. Viel Platz und sehr bequeme Sitze.

The Hobbiton Movie Set Tours

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.

A ‘must do’ in New Zealand

I did not know what to expect. Haven’t read the books or seen the films. What a great day out! Can’t recommend it enough. It doesn’t matter if you are a fan, Hobbiton is really impressive.

An enjoyable day

We traveled to the Hobbiton movie set for about 2 hours but it just went by because we enjoyed the landscapes along the way. Sam, our guide also provided us with information about NZ. Sam took care of us from beginning to end. He was excellent. As we arrived, we had lunch at the cafe until our scheduled time. A bus took us to the movie set with McKenzie as our team guide. The movie set seemed real. Everything was created up to the smallest detail. We enjoyed the whole tour with McKenzie as an excellent team guide. We recommend Sam and Cheeky Kiwi for this tour.
