We pick from any accomodation but if it is not centrally located we can organise a shuttle for you. These are generally much cheaper than an Uber or a Taxi because we would like you to be collected by on of our team to make sure you get to the tour Guaranteed departure - Due to low numbers and sustained losses caused by Covid 19, until further notice we will need a minimum of 4 people (or price equivalent) to run tours.

Excellent driver and experience
Sonia_C, Apr 2023
Derryl was just fantastic, he was friendly and funny at times. He puts a lot of passion in this job and the minibus conditions were an added proof to this. My wife and I had a very nice time, Derryl would add some insights to places and sights we were passing by on our way to Matamata. We highly recommend the tour, great quality for a great service.
Lovely Tour

The tour operator arranged a golf cart for us at the last minute which was very helpful to us . Bush and Beach guides are very helpful
Long drive, but WORTH it!
Lili_K, Jan 2023
In the van, it was full with 9 passengers and our driver, Andy. Great drive and time flew as everyone participated in the various conversational topics. The driver, Andy drove us to Hobbiton and got us our tickets. He did not conduct the actual tour. On the roundttip drive, Andy would share about the various places we passed by on the drive. The actual Hobbiton tour was conducted by Hobbiton stuff. Our Hobbiton guide, Lola, was very knowledgeable about the movie set. A lot of information regarding: filming, set, stories, tibbits, etc. Highly recommend the tour and tour company, Flexi Tours NZ.

Not having any knowledge of Lord of the rings or Hobbiton I found this tour a great entertainment and quite unique experience. We were on a ship and were picked up from right at the dock and returned there in plenty of time.
Great tour & tour guide/driver.

Our driver was terrific, Darryl. He told us about the countryside we were passing through and history and about The Hobbit filming etc. we had a great time with him and recommend him highly to others.
