- Dan A00Great trip, great guide!The trip was great and David was an awesome guide! Especially since he jumped in last minute to fill in for a colleague. Hobbiton was such a cool experience and the Waitomo Caves were fascinating! I would highly recommend this tour!
- sophiadA5622XE00Wonderful experienceIt was a wonderful tour. Very professionally handled. Everything was on time. Our bus driver was great.
- 202shanaa00Top notch scenic tourThe drive to Hobbiton was picturesque with the rolling hills and farms and so many cows. Mike took great care to make sure we were informed of all the steps for the day so we got everything done on time. Mike was full of useful and interesting information about everything NZ. We highly recommend this tour!!
- wvallen00Excellent tourGreat experience! Easy to take the van down to Hobbiton and our guide/driver was attentive and awesome. Highly recommended!
- rmhsihs00Amazing Hobbiton & Glow Worm Day TripWhat an amazing day. Our tour guide, Mike, picked us up in a smaller van and there were only 8 people total on the ride out. Mike stopped and let us stretch our legs about an hour out of town. We overlooked a beautiful valley and he told us facts about NZ. Then we drove to Hobbiton and he was great at letting us know the timeline of where we needed to meet the Hobbiton buses, buy gifts, and get breakfast. Hobbiton was incredible as you can imagine. Afterwards Mike picked us up and we drove to a lunch spot at The Homestead. Great hot lunch - I had penne bolognese and my wife had spring rolls. We then drove to the glow worm caves and Mike continued telling us facts about each town we drove through. The glow worm caves were magical and the guides there were pleasant and had senses of humor. After the caves we drove 2.5 hours back to Auckland and most people napped. Mike got us back to our hotels safely and everybody gave him large tips. Grade A+ day trip from Auckland! Highly recommend!
- MJSWahoo00Going to NZ? Like LOTR? GO GO GO GO!If you’re a fan of the books or the movie, GO! It’s verdant, pastoral and, yes, a tourist event, but they do an amazing job of making it looks like the scenes from the movies and a trip down memory lane. You’ll walk around saying “you shall not pass” or “a wizard is never late.” The guide was great and the hobbit holes were all so unique and cool. Ending at the Green Dragon with an ale was good and the lunch they served was fine, but the scenes are forever etched in my memory.
- NatiTheArtist00Hobbiton and Waitomo - even better with great guides!I had the immense pleasure of having Michael as my tour guide for one of the greatest tours I've ever been on. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about everything from NZ history to obscure Kiwi ways of catching deer from helicopters (it's apparently called "hotdogging"- I'm STILL NOT going to Google that!), he's also able to tell it in very funny and interesting ways. So while Hobbiton and Waitomo were amazing experiences, it really wouldn't have been nearly as memorable without Michael and Auckland Scenic Tours.
- docchavez00AmazingMike was a great guide; fun and hospitable. Very knowledgeable about the highlights to share with us; also managed to make the travel time interesting. Tour does not disappoint even if you’re not huge fan. Incredible Waitomo caves.
- Widstam00WAITOMO A MUST-SEE!!!Had a great time. Hobbiton was cute and Waitomo is a definite must-see. Matt, our guide and chauffeur, was super knowledgeable and helped in making this day as wonderful as it was. 5/5 highly recommend!
- Mia J00Just A Wonderful TimeThis was magnificent!! Geoff was an outstanding tour guide. We had a good drive to our destinations, but Geoff kept our group lively. He was sooo knowledgeable and was willing to take as many photos as you needed. He was super nice and let us know what we needed to get the best out of our trip! Now to the trip! OMG it was grand! The scenic views were beauuutiful and while it was cold the views took the coldness away. We made it to Hobbiton and I grabbed a pepper steak pie...yall when I tell you get that...GET THAT PIE! The Hobbiton experience was so legit. Like whether your a fan fan or hey I'm just here to support my person! You'll love it! The lunch was also good but I was full from the pie but it was a good break. The glowworms were amazing as well. Such a cool af experience. I loved the whole thing such an awesome experience. There was enough time to do everything if you have a great crew and time yourselves well. Have fun! Do the tour!!
- Ashley S00Hobbiton is worth a visit!Hobbiton was fun and entertaining, our guide was funny and just a teensy bit geeky. The glow worms were cool to see however it felt a bit underwhelming when we circled one area for a few mins in the boat and were told the tour was over. Would definitely do it again, and I loved seeing the gloworms- just don’t get your hopes up that it will be like the pictures.
- philiprP7285WA00Great tour!!An awesome day. Micheal can answer any question about Lord of the Rings, glowing worms, live stock and the history of the world. Both tours were excellent but he made the trip that much better.
- Kara B00Great trip to Hobbiton and the glowworm cavesWhat a fun trip through the countryside of Auckland. Michael, our tour guide, was truly spectacular. This is a must do day when visiting the area.
- Lwizzey00Excellent viewVery nice and accomodating driver/tour guide.He was very patient waiting for our group. The tour was long but relaxing. Superb scenery!
- Katherine N00Must see experienceLoved it started at a great souvenir shop then take the bus to the set. Tour guide really information & fun. Plenty of parking, & amenities good. Really well put together tour A must see.

Great overview of the city! Did a few short walks around a fort and up some small hills and got some fantastic views. Our guide David was very energetic and personable, and this tour is a great value for your money.

Thank you! Our Half Day 4-Hour Tour of Auckland is widely regarded as the most comprehensive Half Day Tour available. What better way to see Auckland than to travel up 2 of our 53 extinct volcanoes for unparalleled 360 degree views of our spectacular City. You were in the hands of one of our very knowledge guides as he explained the history of the former gun emplacements that you refer to to protect our City in earlier days plus the hundreds of other landmarks and sites as he unfolded the history and culture of Auckland to you.
Thank you for commenting on how you thought our tour was excellent value-for-money. We have 20 Set Tours and we believe every one is outstanding value for money; not just in the cost alone but included is one of our highly knowledgeable guides. You experienced first hand why out team are so highly regarded in our industry and why the best way to see Auckland is with one of our knowledgeable guides. Thank you for choosing our tour.
