    Wonderful relaxing drive and the tour of Hobbiton and Hamilton Garden were just as expected. We were well taken care by our guide Hufeza and would recommend taking this trip with him.

    Hobbiton was a magical place despite heavy rain at times. Walking through the Shire with a knowledgeable guide who had great stories to tell was a great experience. The highlight was spending time in a hobbit hole imagining hobbits living there. Also enjoyable was having a drink in the Green Dragon. The vast operation at Hobbiton was well organised and you have plenty of time to take as many photos as you want. Hamilton Gardens was also a great visit. The different gardens are spectacular and well thought out. I think you could easily spend more time there even if you were not that interested in plants. Our driver for the day was very good. Pick up was on time, the minibus was comfortable and he was full of interesting facts about the countryside we drove through.
