Hobbiton Movie Set & Rotorua Wonderland Tour – November 2019. The tour guide was very friendly and professional. He gave frequent insights while driving us to the various locations and while we visited the Rotorua/Maori site. The tour group also provides a solid snack package for each guest and as much water as you need. With regards to the tour destinations themselves: After the Hobbiton tour (Hobbiton runs the tour and the New Zealandier guide will meet you at the inn afterwards), I felt we had ample time to enjoy our complementary drink at the inn and do some shopping at the gift shop. I don't remember exactly how much time it was, but it did not feel rushed. The Rotorua/Maori site you visit can vary between tour groups and which tour you select. I enjoyed the site we went to. The thermal area had several locations to view mudpots an geysers (This tour does not go to the Champagne pool). There is also a kiwi house where you might be able to see a kiwi under red lighting if they are active. The Maori setup is very nice. There is a open courtyard where they perform an invitation ritual. They then let everyone into the Maori building to watch their performance. My other family members went with a different tour group (because they did not want to tour Hobbiton) and they went to a different site where the Maori setup and performance was not nearly as elaborate.

We really enjoyed our Zealanier tour - Hobbiton and the Rotorua Mauri hot springs, educational building tour and show. It was all informative, educational, and fun. Glad we made the time and reservation!!!

Our family group consisted of 7 adults and 3 small children. We went on the Lord of the Rings Hobbiton Movie Set Tour in January 2020. It was a wonderful tour. I was impressed with the safe car seats provided for the children in the minibus. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly and the scenery was beautiful. We all loved Hobbiton and hope to visit again. We were very well looked after by Zealandier.

I could not fault the friendly service and professionalism that Zealandier Tours provided from our initial booking to our post tour drop off. We were taking part in a tour in Tauranga as part of an offshore excursion. The prices were very good and our tour guide was very mindful to get us back to our ship on time. I would definately book through them again whilst in New Zealand.

We enjoyed a very informative journey with Zealandia Tours in a large, comfortable van. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable and our safety was a priority. My wife and I will be using Zealandia Tours when we visit beautiful New Zealand again, hopefully in the near future.

I had a fabulous experience touring with Zealandier Tours. We visited Rotorua and witnessed the geysers and bubbling mud pools, our guide was very knowledgeable and down to earth, making our day very enjoyable.

I booked a Lord of the Rings tour with Zealandier in February 2020 from Tauranga to see Hobbiton and other things along the way. I was on a cruise so I saved some money by taking Zealandier instead of the cruise ship's excursions. The tour was not only less expensive, but included more. Our guide was great and went above and beyond what was expected. He made a couple of impromptu stops - at a kiwi fruit farm and a wonderful ice cream shop - which we all appreciated and enjoyed. The only improvement to this wonderful tour would be having the guide enunciate a little better when he was explaining things using the van's microphone. We were mostly North Americans on the tour so sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying because we weren't used to the New Zealand accent and he was holding the microphone too close to his mouth which made it harder to understand. This is just a minor thing and not everyone was paying attention like I was. I like to learn about things and hear about the local history and stories. All in all, this was a fabulous tour and I highly recommend Zealandier.

Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we were unable to travel to New Zealand. Zealandier Tours were very helpful and communicative in dealing with the refund and fully honored their promise to refund if the ship did not dock as planned. We hope to be able to travel to New Zealand in the near future and will definitely be booking the tour with Zealandier again when we do.

A very useful website and helpful staff when trying to organise some fo the details. The staff on the day were friendly and chatty which made the day more enjoyable as it didn't feel like they were just repeating a script.

We booked various excursions via Zealandier but unfortunately needed to cancel them due to the Covid19 outbreak. The staff is very nice and helpful and respond immediately. Also after cancelling they were very quick providing a full refund. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately due to New Zealand closing its borders we were unable to visit hobbiton with Zealandier Tours but fair play they reimbursed us straight away. Will be using them as soon as I get chance to go .

Disappointed with waiting over an hour for the tour to leave because of late passengers. So many stops on winding road to Christchurch that we only got one hour free in Christchurch before we had to leave. Did not get the lunch break that was part of itinerary. All day trip for only one hour in the Botanical Gardens. No time to walk to the damaged church at center of city, just cruised by it in the van.

When cruising around New Zealand my husband and I had the good fortune to enjoy a shore excursion we’d booked with Zealandier Tours to Hobbiton & Rotorua. All on our tour were treated with the utmost courtesy &, as it was an early start, surprised to find we each had an excursion bag packed full of treats on our seats. I was like a kid in a lolly shop! It was a wonderful day out and I would happily recommend Zealandier Tours to my family & friends. Thank you Zealandier, my hubby and I look forward to our next excursion with you when we return to your beautiful country!
