Excellent 8 hour day trip to Hobbitton with buffet lunch included. Enjoyed bus ride with terrific bus driver Todd. Everything was very well organized & pleasant. Our tour guide Jacob was a total delight! And of course the Hobbit Holes, landscapes & set decorations were a feast for the eyes. A magical place making it a worthwhile trip. The buffet lunch was absolutely delicious! Not easy to choose a tour but I was very happy with this one! Husband was reluctant to go on a tour but he ended up having fun too!
