If you don't mind a lot of walking then this is for you. Bearing in mind if you love The Hobbit and The Lord of The Ring, then you are going to have the best day of your life ✨️

I would definitely book this again! After I searched on the regular website for tickets with lunch in the green dragon, I found that viator had it and we enjoyed it so much. Especially the not driving part. Hannah was our host and she was so funny and informative so if you have her you are lucky! Also, their is a restroom in the bus just incase you have medical problems and need to use often because although the trip is short, they have many road construction stops that take you a while to pass so keep that in mind. Definitely book this trip!

Tour was great, as was lunch! Only negative re the tour is that there were 40 people on the tour with us - full bus load- so that made logistics at Hobbiton very very slow. Plus a couple of the folks almost needed walkers to move and there were lots of wet coughs on the bus in an enclosed space. Wish people would have sense enough to either stay home or mask up if they're sick. Bus driver was pretty annoying in that she talked almost constantly but very little of it had to do with Hobbiton.

It was a delightful experience. It was interesting to see the movie magic and beautiful landscape of the area. The buffet lunch was very good especially the desserts!
