Had a great time

Charles was the driver and tour guide. He picked us up at the cruise port on time and send us back to cruise ship on time. He has rich knowledge in local farming and local environment since he grows up here. We had great time in Hobbinton LOTR site and along the road at serval beautiful sites that he pickup for us. And he is a very nice guy. He gives us many flexibilities to take pictures along the road. Highly recommended.
Beautiful experience

Minimal expectations especially for my wife who had never seen or read any of the movies/books. Our driver/guide was excellent. Hobbiton itself was magical, with fantastic detail and wonderful gardens.

Great trip - well worth it! When we picked this excursion, it was noted that water and a snack would be provided - we received neither and it was a warm day. It's a bit of a drive to Hobbiton and then with approximately a two hour tour, by the time we got to the Green Dragon, we were very thirsty. Bring water and a snack!
Je m'ennui déjà de cette journée.

Une expérience formidable au pays des Hobbits. J'ai adoré le site. L'environnement, la visite du site avec un guide qui faisait souvent référence aux films, au décor. Le chauffeur/guide a été très gentil aussi. Sur la publicité du tour, un snack était inscrit dans les items inclus. Malheureusement aucun lunch n'a été servis. Nous avons donc payés le lunch.
