Reviews: Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch
Guest User2025-09-02
David is amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The tour is a great experience that is hard to miss if your are visiting New Zealand. The Waitamo Cave tour is more impressive than the description. The hobbitown is like a paradise. We were able to get free drinks during our trip. Umbrella is available to borrow if it starts raining. We were able to go inside the hobbit house and check out the fine furnitures. These two places are worth the trip.★

Reviews: Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland
Guest User2024-06-26
This was an amazing tour, Adil was very friendly and gave excellent advice. Be sure to research the weather for Hobbiton as it is a fully outdoor tour. Be prepared for a long day! Totally worth it!★

Guest User2026-01-03
Heath was a fantastic guide to invite us literally into his backyard to experience these magnificent caves. We had no caving experience but they give you all the gear you need, fill you with confidence and you leave with a sense of accomplishment you won’t get on a boardwalk glow worm tour. Finish up with a cuppa and an ANZAC biscuit back at the house.★
