The tour guide had a lot of great information for us and was very friendly and helpful. Having snacks available was especially nice because there was not much time to get lunch.

Everything went well. Beautiful sunny day, David the bus driver was careful and punctual, and had a good repertoire of jokes and interesting anecdotes. Hobbiton was good fun, and I've always wanted to see it. Our guide, Mira, was ideal and informative. She had a lovely personality and a good clear voice. The cider and food were very good too. Thank you, David and Mira The booking process was difficult and I'll give feedback to Headout

The driver, Ark was awesome! He gave us so many fun facts during the way there and back, and did a LoTR quiz as well, whin I won because no one but me knew the Elvish name for Rivendell (it's Imladris btw). All in all it was an amazing experience!

Once on the bus, the driver was funny and informative. The experience at Hobbiton was outstanding and clearly explained by both our driver and guide, so we knew what to expect.

The experience was amazing 5 stars! Same with the tour guide abd bus driver however my issues are with headout and the issues with tickets that left me up until 2AM the night before trying to resolve as they were never linked to my account nor when I received them were there clear instructions.

Venture into the lush pastures of the Shire at the Hobbiton movie set with a group of fellow LOTR fans and easy round-trip hotel transfers.

Listen to your professional Hobbiton guide regale you with interesting details and stories about how the iconic set and movies were made.

Walk past the colorful doors of 44 Hobbit, including Bag End, home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and enjoy a delicious beverage at the Green Dragon Inn.

Choose between a spacious scenic coach tour with a banquet feast lunch, small group tour or a private tour from Auckland to the movie set to make your Hobbiton experience more memorable.

Did you know? Not all the hobbit holes and doors are of the same size. Some are hobbit-sized, whereas in others a full-grown human can comfortably step in.

Welcome to the Shire

If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, then visiting the Hobbiton movie set is a must. Hop on your comfortable ride from Auckland and journey to the magical world of Hobbiton. On the way, spot the lush trees dotting the Waikato river and the Kaimai Ranges standing tall. Once you reach, you will get on a short bus with your Hobbiton guide and be taken to the set.

A magical world awaits you

Once you reach the set, your guide will escort you on a shared walking tour around the movie set. See the beautiful gardens, and the 44 Hobbit holes lining the hillside before arriving at Bagshot Row to peek inside the humble home of a Hobbit. As you tour the set, listen to your guide tell you interesting details about how the set was made and show you famous locations used in the movies. End your tour at the Green Dragon Inn where you will enjoy a complimentary beverage from their Southfarthing Range, exclusively made on the set.

Choose between a small group tour, luxury coach tour with a banquet lunch or a private tour of the movie set to make your Hobbiton experience more memorable.
