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.

Very enjoyable and a great evening out for a couple, group, or family with kids. There is a big gift shop to explore. Dinner was very good, including the hangi food. There were plenty to around and well cooked. You will not go hungry. The local culture and the show are explained well so that the experience is educational as well as entertaining. Everyone shows a lot of respect for the culture. Lots of music, singing and dancing in the show/demonstration.

Jan C was very knowledgeable and used a microphone so all could hear. The orange lanyard was helpful in identifying our group.

Fantastic Tour with an excellent tour guide (Adrienne). We loved the Hobbiton tour and the waterfall stop on the way back. Obviously the babies favourite part of the day was the ice cream stop. 10 out of 10 👍🏼

I highly recommend Zealandier tours. Adrienne met us just outside of the port gates and her fantastic attitude was apparent right away. She provided interesting commentary on the way to Hobbiton and made sure we were all set for our tour. We had enough time for a couple of extra side stops on the way back to port. My great experience with the company started before my arrival. A previous booking with another company was cancelled with only a few weeks to find an alternative for this must-do item on our trip. Jan was very responsive via email and made the booking happen. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip - the only negative was the continuous rain but we still loved it
We also had doubts re the driver who at one point on the return trip nearly came off the road but we arrived back at the port safely so……….

This was an excellent tour - well organised - the only negative was the weather - it rained all day but we still enjoyed the trip - seeing the film set and the pub made our day.

We got to visit the hobbiton movie set. Very informative and got to see all homes but, thought he gift shop would have a better adult t-shirt adult memorabilia selection. Artificial tree was awesome and time in the green dragon was a little rushed.

Wow! What a magical place. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Hobbiton and bus trip through the surrounding area.

We were collected from the port from our cruise ship by Duncan who provided an interesting commentary as we made our way to Matamata. The bus was a comfortable mini bus and there were 20 or so of us on the bus so it was not too crowded.

Duncan sorted out all the entry tickets and we had time to explore the gift shop and grab a bite to eat at the cafe before we transfered to the movie set bus and were taken down to the set for a guided walking tour.

We took so many photos of all the scenery and of all the details every step of the way. It was a very rainy day, but it did not spoil our adventures at all and they provided umbrellas if you needed one. The tour moved at a reasonable pace and we were not rushed and could ask questions of our knowledgeable guide.

We absolutely loved this tour and a glass of ale at the Green Dragon Inn was a definite highlight for us.

One of our party had never seen/read Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit and they thoroughly enjoyed the trip too!

Thanks to Duncan and Zealandia for a magical day out that was the highlight of our trip to New Zealand.

Fantastic service and experience specially with Zealandia. Our tour guide was great! Couldn’t fault anything about our tour.
He guided us around areas we didn’t think we would see and the information he provided was excellent.

Hobbit on was AMAZING! The whole experience with the guides was just too notch.
It was beautiful and just a world win experience.
The only down side was the cafe, which was expensive and food was basic.

Would recommend Zealandia for any tour!
And hobbiton was fantastic.
