Darryl was a very interesting and informative host, told us so much about the history of New Zealand and the Maori people and culture. Kia Ora (that means thank you, right?)!

We had the most incredible visit today to Hobbiton. Our driver, Darryl picked us up at our hotel with a very clean and comfortable van. He entertained us on the drive with stories on New Zealand history and pointing out sites of interest. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and also about the Hobbiton destination. Thank you, Darryl for making this one of our most memorable days. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Aukland- even if you aren’t familiar with The Hobbit. The scenery is so beautiful it is well worth the price and time spent.Our driver was terrific, Darryl. He told us about the countryside we were passing through and history and about The Hobbit filming etc. we had a great time with him and recommend him highly to others.

This tour was professional and well done. Our driver/host was personable and friendly. Pickup was on time & the tour bus was “as described” in the adverts. Our host was familiar with the Hobbiton staff & their policies/procedures, which was very helpful. We were provided a scenic route back, off the beaten path, based on traffic conditions. Of course, Hobbiton was a wonderful experience, a must-do for LOTR fans which provides insight into how the films were produced. Remember, this is a movie set, not a theme park. I recommend using the services of FlexiToursNZ.When another tour operator cancelled at the last minute, I contacted FlexiTours in a panic, since I had less than a week to book a tour on the only day I had available. Everyone I contacted at Flexitours (thank you, Phillipa and Mata!) was very helpful and supportive. We got the ideal tour on our...

Everyone I contacted at Flexitours (thank you, Phillipa and Mata!) was very helpful and supportive. We got the ideal tour on our date! The driver Darryl was wonderful! Full of wonderful information both en route to Hobbiton and on the way back to Auckland. I really cannot overstate how wonderful our trip was. I strongly recommend FlexiTours and Darryl to anyone considering the trip from Auckland to Hobbiton.Derryl was just fantastic, he was friendly and funny at times. He puts a lot of passion in this job and the minibus conditions were an added proof to this.
