Hobbiton And Waitomo Caves Arrive In Comfort And Style

We booked last minute and had issues with ticket availability. Sunny was super helpful—he checked slot availability, adjusted our schedule between Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves, and talked to the ticket counter staff for us so everything worked out. The ride was comfortable and well-organized, with lovely views of cows and sheep along the way. On the ride back, we asked for a last-minute drop-off change to a restaurant, and he was happy to accommodate. Very reliable and thoughtful service!

Amazing we had a fantastic guide Sunny. We had two excursions Sunny picked us up from our hotel had a snack for us . Picked up our tickets and walked us to the cave entrance . Hobbiton was Amazing 💕 our tour guide was super funny! Best 10 hour tour !

No tickets are included in this tour and caused a lot anxiety. Thanks to Sunny for being helpful and obtaining entrance tickets for both locations. Caverns with glowing worms not impressive since limited lighting down the steps hard for older individuals and was only a 15 minute at most boat ride…

The entrance tickets to these places are not included in the tour price. Sunny, our guide did contact us in advance and was able to secure our tickets to one of the two tours. Although the second tour was not available, Sunny was able to provide another attraction that was just as great. Great tour!

It was really a wonderful experience and a memorable, Thanks to Sunny for making it He was very helpful from the day we booked until we completed the trip Infact we couldn't get the tickets for the attractions,he was kind enough to arrange the tickets Highly recommended

Sunny went above and beyond to make our experience great!! We had some plane delays and he managed to get us last second tickets for Hobbiton even though it said sold out online for that day:) He was a great driver, very kind, and had a comfortable and clean car. It was a private tour so we didn't feel rushed at any place and could take breaks for stretching our legs or the bathroom. I highly recommend booking with him it was such a wonderful day!

This was an amazing adventure with Sunny (our driver). We were on time to both places and when time allowed Sunny took us to see some off the beaten path gems! He also found us last minute tickets when ours were cancelled by another company!! I cannot speak highly enough about our experience. Sunny was very knowledgeable about New Zealand and he was very easy to talk to😊

My partner and I had an excellent day visiting the glow worm caves and Hobbiton. Both activities were certainly enjoyable. Our driver Sunny was amazing. I had trouble securing tickets so Sunny arranged them for us! Also he suggested going early to Hobbiton to see if we could get an earlier tour which worked in our favour. If you’re looking for a private tour, I’d recommend Sunny.

Sunny was amazing travel guide. Had a great time touring with him. He took us to hidden gems around there and we're worth seeing which we would have otherwise missed them. Would highly recommend him.

Our guide Sunny went above and beyond to make our visit great! We appreciate his thoughtful attention to detail. We strongly recommend him and this tour.

Due to travel issues we had to shift our plans around. We found this site and booked it late. The site said admission tickets weren’t provided but we assumed we could just buy them at the entrance. We were wrong. When we arrived in Auckland, our guide Sunny, called us to see if we have tickets. He was concerned when we told him no because it’s the busy season and they sell out. He said he would do what he could but it might not be available. After a long day of stress about the tickets and several calls to/from Sunny with no tickets, he called us at 6:00 with the great news that he had the tickets. The next day, he picked us up at our hotel, very comfortable ride to the Hobbiton site and a great day there. He then drove us directly to our cruise ship. Because of Sunny, we got to experience one of the top things we had planned for the trip. He went above and beyond and saved the day. Great job!

Our tour guide Sunny was the best. He went above and beyond what we could expect. He met us on time, provided refreshments and helped us meet an appointment after our tour. But above all, he worked really hard at obtaining almost impossible to get admission tickets to the Hobbiton movie site. The reason he did that was the posting on Viator stated that admission tickets were not included. Ok, no problem, we assumed we could just buy them at the movie set. However, when Sunny called us the day before, he said they were sold out as this was the busy season. We tried for some time to get tickets anyway possible but failed. Sunny called us at 6:00 pm the night before and told us he got them. He saved the day. But IF we had been told on the Viator web site that tickets needed to be purchased in advance (not just they were our responsibility), we might have saved a lot of anxious time and money.

For this tour, tickets for both sites were not available upon arrival. Informing a tourist of this needs to be more prominent and links for purchases to attractions provided on tour site.

Tour guide was so kind and nice. He tried best to us wherever we go. He also prepare some chips and water for us. Thank you.

We were able to visit the Waitomo caves and Hobbiton on the same day. Our guide, Sunny, was able to get tickets for Hobbiton, so that was a surprise as I wasn't able to purchase them myself online. He picked us on time at the Auckland cruise terminal and delivered us safely and timely before the ship's embarkation deadline. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is the car was small for a party of 4 like ours. Even though we are pretty skinny people, the 3 folks in the back seat didnt feel very comfortable for a ride that lasted about 7 hours in total.

Sunny, the tour guide, was just amazing. When we booked the tour, both Hobbiton and the Waitomo Caves were sold out. We informed Sunny of this and asked if he could help (we had about 3-4 weeks before our arrival). To my amazement, Sunny as able to secure 4 Hobbiton tickets and, soon after that, 4 Waitomo tickets and totally saved our day!! Then, due to issues with our flights we ended up missing a day in Auckland and were set to arrive the morning of our tour. Sunny was extremely flexible and helpful (and communicated with us constantly) and was able to help arrange transport to our hotel so we could drop off our bags at the front desk and then immediately hit the road to the caves (we landed at 6am and had to be on the road by 7:30am to stay on schedule). We got to the caves with time to spare and made both tours with no issues. Sunny was great and helped us fulfill a bucket list trip that we otherwise would have missed. I can’t recommend him enough!!

s was an exceptional experience! Sundeep ensured our journey was hassle-free and enjoyable, demonstrating exceptional customer service and a friendly approach. He was punctual and very conscious of time, making sure we wouldn’t miss our scheduled tour time slot. He even helped us purchase and collect our tickets to Waitomo Glowworm Caves and the Hobbiton movie set, ensuring all our requests were fulfilled. I highly recommend Sundeep to my acquaintances and relatives.

Sonny was excellent and he was somehow able to get last minute tickets for us. We loved both the caves and Hobbiton, both are truly things not to miss if visiting. Sonny was such a great host and driver and accommodated everything so nicely and communications before and during was outstanding. Definitely 5 stars!

We had the best time with Sunny! He is just a terrific guide and so, so helpful! I made the mistake of not catching that we needed to book the tickets for Hobbiton ourselves, and by the time I became aware of my mistake, it was booked solid and things seemed grim. But Sunny pulled of some magic and managed to get all four of us tickets and saved the day. The sights are magical. The glow worms are amazing and Hobbiton lived up to all expectations and more. Between the two, Sunny recommend and took us to the spectacular Blue Ridge for more amazing views. If you're looking for a guide to take you around, you can't go wrong with Sunny.

The tour was amazing and smooth. The guide helped to get tickets in the last minute, and he was very considerate about our need and customize the time and agenda for us. Highly recommend!

Took us to some amazing destinations; very flexible guide. Good experience. Would recommend to others.

Our guide, Mr Sunny was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. We really enjoyed his enthusiasm and greatly benefitted from his suggestions for what all we can do in the north island. We had a great experience and highly recommend this

Guide Sunny was very helpful in answering our questions and assisting In booking tickets. We had a great time conversing with him.

We had an excellent experience with our driver, Sunny. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire trip. Sunny drove safely and smoothly, making us feel comfortable at all times. He also knew the best routes and helped us save time while still enjoying the ride. His positive attitude and great communication made the journey even better. We highly recommend Sunny to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional driver

I had an amazing experience visiting Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. The journey was smooth, well-organised, and our guide made everything even more enjoyable with clear explanations and even bought the tickets for us as we couldn't get it online due to mass demand. He had a check on the availability on the tickets for hobbiton and bought it the same day for us! Hobbiton felt magical — walking through the Shire, seeing the colourful hobbit houses, and learning how the movies were made was unforgettable. The views were stunning and every spot felt like a scene from the films. Waitomo was a completely different but equally incredible experience. The glowworms were beautiful, and the boat ride in the dark was peaceful and surreal. Overall, the tour was perfectly balanced, comfortable, and full of great memories. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting New Zealand!

"Sunny was an amazing driver and guide! He took us to Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves.He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time. We highly recommend Sunny for anyone visiting these spots in New Zealand!"

Eye opening trip. It's amazing what one can do with enough imagination and creativity. Also with a huge budget.

Hobbiton should be a wonder of the world. It allows your imagination to transport you into a magical place, which is wonderful place to be.

We went in not having any tickets and not having much hope in getting any, he was an amazing guide and helped us get tickets to both hobbiton and waitomo, he went above and beyond expectations. Highly recommend.

Very good experience in this tour. Sunny is an excellent driver. His good driving skill gave us a safety trip to Hobbiton and Waitomo as it is a long distance to the attraction from the city centre Auckland. He also help us to book the tickets by mobile apps. We like Auckland very much.

Sunny was very patient and punctual. He will take you to whichever attraction first and make any stops you want along the way. Make sure you book tickets to both attractions beforehand so they don’t fill up. My partner and I booked our tickets while in the car with Sunny’s help and everything worked out perfectly but we definitely got lucky.

New Zealand is gorgeous. Sandeep was an excellent guide. He gave us snacks and had water for all of us. Very friendly, helpful and he was forthcoming with a lot of local information. He even dropped us off at a local restaurant when we requested it. Good conversationalist. You have to buy your own tickets for the actual activities.
