I loved the route that the bus took it was so pleasant. So this excursion was awesome. The bus tour guide *Grant* rates a 5 star for service, he went above and beyond by taking my gifts and food that I bought from the hobbit store back to the bus before the actual tour took place. I was blown away by this and he was funny and positive. Made me feel seen and well taken care of.

Even if you know very little about lord of the rings or The Hobbit, the whole trip was so enjoyable and well planned out. Loved our tour host Simon.
