It was a great experience. The tour guide John was very humorous, and he also went to a few more small attractions for us. In the end, he also sent us all the photos👍👍

The on-site ticket exchange is very fast. Habib Village is a very worthwhile attraction in North Island. Fans of the Lord of the Rings can’t miss it. The trip time is a bit short, and two hours is not enough time to visit.

It is a must one-time visit to Hobbiton when you go to New Zealand. Our tour guides from our Cheeky Travel and Hobbiton gave us a lot of good-to-know and facts about New Zealand and Hobbiton / Lord of the Rings. No spoilers from me!
