Excellent tour. The Driver/Guide is an asset to Bush and Beach who operate this tour on your behalf. She was helpful, Polite, knowledgeable and nothing appeared too difficult. The package was excellent with sufficient time to enjoy the day.

The whole experience was a positive one for our family (including a 13 and 10 year old). The driver, Wayne, from the moment he picked us up at our Auckland Hotel was excellent for the whole day. The tour guide at Hobbiton was exceedingly good. Having a small group 11 people all together meant our experience was a very intimate one. Fantastic life experience.
