Amazing experience! I tried different tours already and can’t recommend them enough. It was a pleasure to talk to Peter who is always available to provide you the best experience in Auckland. All the staff very helpful and although I only stayed for a short period they always tried to accommodate so I can have the best time in New Zealand. Big thanks to all of you and can’t wait to go back.

Thank you Auckland & Beyond Team for making my first visit to Auckland memorable! Visited during high season, didn’t book anything in advance (my mistake) and even though A&B were very understanding and managed to get us last slots for tour to Hobbiton movie set! Very professional, transpiration at your convenience, friendly driver, competitive price. Will totally recommend to anyone visiting Auckland.

Excellent Hobbiton tour! It was very enjoyable and the movie set was amazing and the scenery was gorgeous! We liked the personalized service with pickup at the hotel. Our driver Boushra was kind and considerate and also offered to take us to Waitomo Caves at short notice after our visit to Hobbiton.

Awesome, friendly and reliable!
Juat landed in Auckland for bussiness at 6:30am having only that one day for myself. Chwcked in at the hotel around 8:00am and fly downstaris to book a samedaytour to Hobitton; this guys made it possible! Very flexible, allowing for half day tours, piked me up at the hotel and drived me to Hobitton. Really friendly, good converstion on our way there, stoping to enjoy the views. Great tour at Hobitton, and I even took a nap on the ride back, so I could enjoy the evening and take most out of my only day! Highly rexommemded!
Excellent place with amazing people
We went to Hobbiton, it is a must-do activity if visiting Auckland, and the benefit of this tour group is that they leave early and return early to Auckland, giving us lots of time to do other things afterwards. Was Very comfortable even with 2 young kids on board.Thanks Auckland & Beyond and will definitely come back to this tour group for more!
Best Tour Company I have ever dealt with!
The booking was so convenient, fast and customer service was excellent. They made everything too easy and their website is very informative & user-friendly. I went on a few tours with them during my trip: – they customized a five-day tour around the North Island for me and my family, that was wonderful! I just chated on whats app with the organiser who asked about my interests and budget and he made a customized itinerary that was perfect for us. We did a lot of activities: kayaking, horse riding, skydiving, snowboarding & visited such beautiful place. – I also did one-day return tours from Auckland. I cant say thank you enough for the amazing time you gave us. Drivers were very knowledgeable, their vehicles are soo comfortable!I will definitely recommend Auckland & Beyond Tours to everyone visiting New Zealand!
Thank you Peter for the amazing tour of Auckland! 12 of us booked the night before and even though it was quite last minute and a large party Peter was able to accommodate all of us. Compared to other tours the prices were unbeatable and all of us had an amazing time. Highly recommend.

Hole in the Rock Long but very enjoyable day. Some light showers and wind made for bit bumpy ride on the ferry but there is an enclosed deck for fair weather travelers. Jon our driver was superb. Excellent service dropping all in our group back to our hotels in the evening. Good taste of Bay of the islands wanting a longer stay but great for a day trip!

A scenic but long day from Auckland. Well worth it though! A long day but worth it to see the Northland and Bay of Islands landscape especially if you do not have your own transport. Raymond the driver/guide was educational and pleasant and the mini coach was pleasant with just 5 other passengers.

Awesome! This tour was an absolute highlight of our New Zealand trip, and Andy made it truly exceptional. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly thoughtful about every detail of the day. His storytelling brought Hobbiton to life in such a fun and immersive way—even if you’re not a die-hard fan, it’s impossible not to be enchanted.Andy managed the schedule seamlessly, making sure we never felt rushed while still fitting everything in comfortably. At Waitomo, he provided great context and history beforehand, which made the glowworm cave experience even more magical and meaningful.What really stood out was Andy’s genuine care for the group—he was approachable, funny, and happy to answer questions, take photos, and make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. It felt personal, not scripted.Highly recommend this tour, and if you can request Andy as your guide, do it. You’ll walk away with amazing memories and an even deeper appreciation for New Zealand’s beauty.

Exceptional experience with Paul! We had an incredible time with Paul as our guide. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable. He went completely out of his way to show us extra sites we hadn't even expected to see, which really made the trip feel special. His passion for the area is obvious, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Great experience at Hobbiton! My partner and I enjoyed the Hobbiton Movie Set Day Tour from Auckland.Our driver, John, was incredibly friendly, punctual, and attentive. He shared fascinating tidbits during the journey, making the ride engaging and fun. Upon arrival at Hobbiton, he guided us clearly and efficiently, never overbearing, just perfectly helpful.The tour of Hobbiton itself was wonderful. The experience was well-organized, informative, and just the right length to soak in the magic of Middle-earth. On the return trip, we encountered an unexpected delay due to an accident and the highway was closed. John kept us informed and ensured we had plenty of water and snacks to stay comfortable.Overall, it was a fantastic day out, and I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Zealand! A perfect blend of adventure, storytelling, and hospitality.
