A great full day tour to Hobbiton, even if you aren't a Lord of the Rings fan, and the Glow Worm caves. Cheeky Michael had informative comments along the way and even added some extras...a swinging bridge, an ostrich, and a stop for ice cream.
Glad we booked this trip

Enjoyed our trip with Ale, who was very funny and easy going. Well organized, lots of opportunities to buy snacks along the way. It was well organized, and I'm glad we did this trip, instead of trying to navigate it on our own.
