Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Truly awesome tour. Did it on my last day in NZ and really wish I had done it sooner. Everything was well organized and Damien was an absolute gem - not only provided transportation but was so eager to share kiwi culture with us. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

We had a great time on our Hobbiton and glow worm cave tour. Seamless pick up from our hotel and on time. Our tour guide Damian was very informative, passionate and knowledgeable about all things Hobbiton and New Zealand and made the trip extra immersive and enjoyable. He went above and beyond for each member of the group and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Over the top service and tour! As a Canadian not familiar with Auckland, I was unaware that there were two Sudima hotels in the city! So right from the beginning of this tour, my day was crazy! But wonderful! They don’t pick up from the Airport Sudima but they came and got me anyway! I forgot my wallet at Hobbiton and didn’t notice till halfway back to Auckland. Ben and his staff made sure I got my wallet back to. E the next morning before I left New Zealand the following day! On top of that, the tour was amazing, the scenery was gorgeous and the driver and tour guide Ben was outstanding! Kio Oro!

Early pickup at the hotel in Auckland to get to Hobbiton by 930. The drive is seemingly made shorter by the knowledgeable driver who talked about New Zealand and gave a back story for the set of Hobbiton (Thank you Damian!). The tour itself seemed rushed but that's the nature of the area. Alot of people they have to push through so have your cameras ready to go. Decent amount of time after the tour to wonder around and take photos. The lunch was amazing and seemed to hit many/all dietary concerns. After a few minutes allowed in the gift shop it was back to Auckland via the back roads. The green/mountainous region was gorgeous to view as we headed back to the city. Back by 4pm and missed the bulk of the rush hour traffic. Great Tour, would do it like this again for sure.

Had a fun and informative tour with well organized and knowledgeable guide and driver. We covered a lot of territory, saw high country and beaches with stops to get out and experience nature. Enjoyed a tea, coffee and biscuit recap before heading back to our drop off hotels.

Wayne lead our small group tour from Auckland to Hobbiton and Waitomo. He was so informative, well organized and funny too! This is a great tour which allowed us to relax after a lot of long days touring on our own. It was great the Bush & Beach handled buying tickets at Hobbito and Waitomo, reserved lunch buffet at Hobbiton (which was unusually good), and also gave us a voucher for the gift store.

We had heard that the film set tour was fabulous, and it was. But even more so, we enjoyed the ride out to the studio and back. Damian, our driver/guide, was a wealth of history, local lore, tourist info, etc. He made us feel extremely well taken-care of throughout the day. What a great bonus to an already great day!

I went to Hobbiton with Bush and Beach tours. It was amazing, Damian was a special highlight for me. The way he told stories on the bus there and back was so interesting. Amazing company with even more amazing people working for them.

Michelle was great host while touring Auckland. Very informative with fun entertaining stories. Erin and Kelly took over and just kept the information and fun coming for the afternoon nature portion. Absolutely beautiful views and a nice easy trail walk completed the day. It was a nice blend and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Bush and Beach again.
