Auckland to Middle-earth: Hobbiton & Glowworm Caves Tour

We had such an amazing day visiting Hobbiton and the Waitomo Caves! Pablo, our driver and guide, was fantastic. He is so professional, friendly, and on time. He shared great stories and made the trip really enjoyable from start to finish. He also took amazing photos for us and made sure we didn’t miss any highlights. As a bonus, he even took us on a short tour around Ōtorohanga so we could take a photo with the kiwi bird which is such a thoughtful touch that made the day even more special. Everything ran so smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Pablo, for an unforgettable experience

I had such a fantastic day with Auckland & Beyond Tours exploring Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. Jon was our guide and driver, and he really made the whole experience special for me. He was super friendly, told wonderful stories, and kept everything running smoothly.Hobbiton felt absolutely magical, and the glowworms were unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Jon made the trip so comfortable and enjoyable—he even shared lots of helpful little tips along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend this tour, and a big thank you to Jon for an unforgettable day!

Jon sense of humour is awesome! Enjoying this day trip with him, get to know some history about Auckland, great introductory! Chill and fun, glowing in the dark definitely kickstart my new week well, great booster!

Warren was an amazing host and excellent tour guide! He shared a great amount of history during the drive, made sure we had water and snacks available, and made the whole experience amazing! Highly recommend to everyone

Just finished an excellent trip with Warren to Hobbiton and Waitomo! Despite heavier than usual traffic, Warren kept us entertained with a plethora of interesting stories. Hobbiton was adorable but the real winner was Waitomo - an absolute wonder and wish we could have spent twice the time there. Now we have something to come back for :-)

Raymond was friendly and funny on the tour. Highly recommended. Waitomo tour is not as it appears in the photos. Hobbiton was fine

Good experience by Raymond. Wortb the price. Smmoth and effcicirnt trip. Helpful and friendly guide who took care of us.

I had an amazing time exploring Auckland with Auckland & Beyond Tours! The entire experience was well-organized, comfortable, and full of fascinating insights about the city and its surroundings. Our tour guide, Stephen, was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly and felt personalized. I especially appreciated how engaging and passionate Stephen was about sharing local stories and hidden gems. It made the tour feel authentic and memorable. If you’re visiting Auckland or just want to discover more about this beautiful city, I highly recommend booking with Auckland & Beyond Tours. You won’t be disappointed!
