Best tour guide ever! Steve is a class act. Such a comfortable bus ride. Great knowledge of New Zealand & Hobbiton. Highly recommend booking him as your guide. Mossop Honey shop was a great stop. Steve goes above and beyond providing delicious gluten free brownies, candy, and drinks. He overheard me mention avocados to my son and made a special stop for us to get some. This tour was full of wonderful stops.

The countryside gerri g to Hobbiton set the mood for the beautiful spent exploring 40 Hobbit holes. ( Keep in mind they are facades and you do not go into movie set indoor areas.) Attention to detail to make the homes different was great. Guides gave extra information about the making of the movie and about details in the story development I did not know.
