    The tour was exactly as advertised—a visit to the movie set for scenes at Hobbiton. For fans, this visit makes hobbit lore real and walking on the hills of the set brings imagination to life. The drive through the countryside was beautiful. The driver/guide, Deane, was excellent. He shared lots of information about the area, the making of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies, and the film industry based on his long experience. We had an amazing day.
