“Going on an adventure!”

Hobbiton was amazing! Not only the set, but also the nature surronding it! Our driver Raymond was the best and gave us precious advice to enjoy the visit in the best way possible! 100% worth it!

Hobbiton Movie Set is phenomenal for any Tolkien fan

The tour itself was amazing. Raymond, the driver, was exceptional. He gave good insight about the tour and some behind the scenes information about the area. Most people on my tour had smiles on their faces at the end. Highly recommend.

A great tour for everyone!

The tour was wonderful. I was one of few who had never read any of the books or seen any of the movies but the tour inspired me to see the movies!
