Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the day and felt comfortable on the journey out—having a great guide like Wayne certainly makes all the difference. He’ll be pleased to hear your kind words about his patience and knowledge. It’s great you found the experience seamless between us and the Hobbiton team, and that you felt it was good value compared to other options. And thanks as well for the helpful tip about booking ahead—so true, especially during busy periods! We really appreciate you choosing to travel with us and hope to see you again on another adventure soon

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re really glad the day flowed well from the very start and that Doug helped set the tone — those small-group journeys often turn into the best days, with plenty of stories, laughs, and learning along the way. It’s wonderful to hear how meaningful the Māori experience was for you, and that Tao made it both informative and memorable. Hobbiton can certainly be busy, but we’re happy you still had a special afternoon with Peter guiding you through the set and bringing the films to life. Choosing a tour that kept your teenagers engaged while showing them different sides of the North Island is exactly what we aim for, so it’s great to hear everyone enjoyed and learned something. Thank you for trusting us with your day — we’re so glad it was time and money well spent.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery — it truly is one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. It’s also wonderful to know that your guide made the experience even richer with stories about local culture, history, and what life in New Zealand is like today. They’ll be so happy to hear their friendliness and insights meant something to you. We really appreciate your recommendation, and we’d love to have you join us again whenever you’re back in New Zealand!
