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.

This tour was amazing! Our guide was super all day having plenty of info, kept it fun, relaxed, and made us the best brownies and brought the best home picked plums for us! And bought great ice cream from the honey shop! Amanda was great! Hobbiton was awesome we loved it! Super natural well worth a visit!

Great tour. Stephen was great guide/driver, entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Went out of his way to make tour most enjoyable. Hobbiton was outstanding as was the guide who showed us around.

Despite the rain we had a wonderful trip. Our guide Stephen was educational, polite, and helpful. One of our best guides ever. Especially the home made brownies

That was an amazing day, great experience and wonderful tour guide.... Thank you, Steven. We enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended 5 (stars)
