Here, the village of Hobbiton was carefully created in amazing detail as a film location for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movie trilogies. During your guided tour of this amazing location you’ll see sights like Hobbit holes, the Mill and the Green Dragon Inn, and learn how farmland was transformed into a living, breathing piece of Middle-earth..

    Five star tour! Everything about this was fantastic. The ride through the countryside, the tour of the movie set, the lunch at the end, all of it!

  • Wonderful, but a bit rushed

    My wife and I really enjoyed the tour of Hobbiton. Our bus driver (David) was gregarious and helpful, as was our Hobbiton guide (Connor). The only drawback of the trip was the somewhat rushed latter parts of the tour: the time spent in the hobbit hole (a true highlight!) was strictly limited by the tour guide's timer, and the lunch that concluded the tour was delicious but strictly limited to 40 minutes. Given that it was the winter off-season, a slightly more leisurely pace would have been welcome.

  • There are only guides...

    There are only guides in English, so it is better to master English to understand the presentation. Otherwise very nice visit in the heart of the village of hobbits.

  • A must see!

    A must do even if you are not a fan (I have only seen one movie but heard so much about this and do live in LA that I had to do it). My only complaint is the bus -- thanks to prior reviews here -- pick up was at the bus terminal Station 1 (Sign 1). It will come up on the board in the bus office but so you know! Also sit in the front rows and you see everything. It was COLD on the left front seat by the door but worth it. Our driver was pretty good giving commentary the whole time (Anthony). A bit dry humor sometimes but loved hearing and learning along the trip. I won't say more except -- A MUST SEE!
