Review of a private Auckland to Hobbiton tour with hotel pickup, a guided movie set visit, Green Dragon drink, and practical booking tips.
“We really loved our private transportation tour with Expedigo. We were very lucky that they had tickets for Hobbiton while everyone else was sold out! Our driver, Deane, was very attentive and kept us entertained with stories and facts about New Zealand. We greatly appreciated the late departure from Auckland given that we had just arrived that morning from the states. Having a late tour of Hobbiton was magical with the late afternoon light. The Mercedes van was very comfortable and spacious and Deane provided water and snacks. Overall, we had a very nice time and highly recommend this company!”
