We had to book a last minute (day before) tour to Hobbiton, knowing that hobbiton is always fully booked, we were able to get tickets from auckland and beyond tours very easily. It was Hassle-free and you don’t need to queue to get your tickets, as the tourguide/bus driver will do it for you. Even if you’re not a hobbiton fan, you will definitely love the place. We also 💯 highly recommend our bus driver Stephen for being knowledgeable and sharing cool & interesting facts and history about NZ! We learned a lot from him! The pick up was also on time and grateful to Stephen for dropping us off our accomodation. As we were only a very small group, Stephen drove us to a few bonus stops on the way to hobbiton and back to auckland within the time frame! We saw hundreds of cows! 😍 NZ is indeed a very stunning country, and will definitely book with Auckland&Beyond Tours and our bus driver Stephen again in the future! Highly recommended booking agent and tourguide/bus driver, very worth of what you paid for 👌👍.
We had a great day. The drive to Paihia was full of different things to see, trees, nature, landscape. Our guide David was informative and shared lots of information. David was able to inform us about the ferry trip around the Bay of Islands. My highlight was to see the art of Hundertwasser, wow amazing.
We had such an amazing day visiting Hobbiton and the Waitomo Caves! Pablo, our driver and guide, was fantastic and 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
What a great experience. Booked a private tour with Pablo from Spain and Chris, a local. Had great conversations about the area on the long journey to Hobbiton and the geysers. It was a great experience! I felt like I was traveling with 2 walking encyclopedias of the area. It was a wonderful time and a fantastic day that I hope to experience again. I highly recommend both of these guides when booking your experience with Auckland and Beyond Tours.
What an amazing tour! Our guide Simon was very knowledgeable and funny, keeping us entertained during the long drive from Auckland to Hobbiton and Waitomo. The time in all attractions is good and not rushed, the stops are well paced so we can get food and go to the restrooms. The van is very comfortable and has WiFi, snacks and water. Thanks Simon and the rest of the team at Auckland & Beyond Tours!
