Come and experience the famous Hobbiton movie set on a guided tour with transport from Auckland or Rotorua.
Let us take the hassle out of driving so you can sit back, relax and take in the views as we transport you from Auckland or Rotorua to Middle-earth!
Forget the early morning pick up - we let you have the morning to yourself before collecting you at the respectable time of 11 am from your Auckland accommodation.
Our fleet of Mercedes vehicles are comfortable and clean and can transport between 6-15 passengers for an enjoyable small-group experience.
Travelling along the scenic route from Auckland to Matamata we arrive at the Hobbiton movie set in time for you to purchase some lunch from the Shires Rest café if you wish.
You will then be taken on a guided tour over the 12-acre movie set as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. You will visit hobbit holes, the Mill, Bag-End - home to Bilbo Baggins and finish off with a complimentary drink at the famous Green Dragon Inn.
Once your tour is complete we will transport you back to your Auckland accommodation around 6 or 7 pm depending on the traffic.
The Flexitour bus picked me up and dropped me home which was great. The trip was relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable. Hobbiton was magic! Just the most wonderful time going around all the hobbit holes and hearing the history and how the place was set up. Our Hobbiton tour guide was great, he had a great sense of humour and used it to keep us amused and informed. This was a magical day, I'd love to do it all over again.
Friendly, kind and good communication
I am so glad you had a good time and thankyou for taking the time to post a review
My partner and I joined the Hobbiton tour from Auckland and had an amazing time! Our driver Andy was very knowledgeable and willing to teach us all about NZ. Our tour guide Sonny at the Hobbiton was one of the best and so energetic - we were both super impressed! Thank you for an amazing day :)
Thankyou It is great to hear you appreciated everything and enjoyed your day
Highly recommended tour, especially the coordination of the organiser.

Loved it
Loved our tour from Auckland to Hobbiton and back! very safe, smooth and comfortable ride thanks to Andy, we just got to sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. Hobbiton itself was fantastic - so cool even though I am not a big fan of the book or movies themselves it is a must do in our own backyard
