Amazing tour, a must do if you are in New Zealand. The driver and guide, Daniel was amazing. Do all your shopping at the gift shop when you arrive, on leaving there is no gift shop. No toilets on the pats of Hobbiton. The lunch it's a must, make sure you add the extra on your ticket.

We had a new tour guide who was on his first week. You could tell at the start he was nervous but really grew into it as the tour progressed. He was so sweet and interactive with the children and even handled the situation of a special needs individual needing a little bit more space and time
