Great day out seeing the movie set. Todd was a great tour guide and kept us entertained throughout the day. Movie set tour was done by a great guide and we had oppertunity to tske lots of photos followed by a food buffet which was really tasty. Great day oit and would highly recomend if u love lord of the rings!

Sam, our guide at Hobbiton was simply fantastic! He was enthusiastic, funny, friendly and had so many great stories to share. It was obvious that everyone who was apart of Hobbiton loved being there and it was one of the most remarkable sites I’ve visited. So much love poured into it. Best day trip ever ❤️

The tour of Hobbiton Movie Set was fabulous. Dave the driver was very informative and humorous. A real treat. The Hobbiton guide was very knowledgable and made the set come alive. The meal was excellent and plenty to eat. Great drive home.
