Enjoy the best of scenic New Zealand as you hop aboard your luxurious coach tour; cast your eyes over expanses of rolling farmland as your journey commences with entertaining commentary en route to your first stop - Hobbiton.

Just outside the rural town of Matamata is the Hobbiton Movie Set - a picturesque 1,250 acre farm where scenes from Lord of The Rings and Hobbit movie trilogies were filmed. On your Hobbiton tour, see the original Hobbit Holes and the Party Tree, and hear intriguing behind the scenes stories. After your fill of movie magic, it’ll be time to tuck into a buffet lunch (included) outside the famous Green Dragon Inn.

还行

坦白说,霍比特人村的体验并不算好,许多人都在争先恐后地拍照,午饭自助餐也不好吃;萤火虫洞还是不错的

Kia ora Meng, Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry to hear it was crowded, Hobbiton attracts many visitors at this time of the year. Esther and the team at InterCity Group.

很值得一去

雖然沒有看過這部電影,但是到了現場真的覺得好魔幻,很漂亮~午餐也很好吃!哈比村導遊Emily很活潑開朗,還會幫每個人跟小房子拍照。參觀完會想要回去把電影找出來看一下哈~螢火蟲洞也很令人驚艷,這輩子一定要看過一次,是洞穴版的銀河。雖然路途有點遠,不過很值得~如果可以待久一點那就更完美了!

預約了酒店接駁結果大遲到

預約了酒店接駁在天未亮的超冷冬天清晨在路邊巴士站瞎等40分鐘,雖後來客服讓我搭計程車前往集合點,但只能排在人龍最後上車,覺得無言又無奈。除此之外行程很棒,在哈比村遇到大晴天導遊讓我們盡情拍照很開心,是超級夢幻的童話村。

Great memory in Hobbiton & Waitomo cave

雖然當天下雨,但哈比村卻貼心的為大家準備大傘,以避免隨身背包被淋濕,唯一可惜的是中午用餐時間太短,導遊要我們12:15在綠龍酒館外集合,一起帶到餐廳已經12:20,坐下後又得等待服務人員以一次兩桌的順序開放取餐,取完餐回來都已經將近12:35,但我們13:00就要到餐廳外集合準備上車前往waitomo,對於能在哈比村用餐期待已久的我,不能好好的享受一頓午餐,實在是這趟旅程唯一的遺憾!
