What an enthralling and beautiful place. Loved it. Rain and wind but still fantastic. Would definetly recommend to others
The place is beautiful and I can understand why Peter chose it as the hobbiton. And the effort the crew put in to make the place so real is unbelievable. It is memorable experience for one fan of the movie
so well done and such an enthusiastic guide made for a brilliant experience, so much so that an excellent rating just doesn't seem sufficient to sum it up
Such great detail and care to the set grounds. Staff are super friendly and informative. My group learned how to dance around a may pole. PS the South Farthing amber ale was perfect too.
Gorgeous views and lovely experience to see where some parts of the movie was taken. We really enjoyed the whole tour. Our guide was very funny. We would highly recommend it to our friends and family.
Amazing tour. So cool to see the hobit village up close, and to learn all the amazing things they had to do to make the movie so realistic. Far cooler than I expected.
I would definitely recommend this Hobbiton Movie set Tour! You are taken to the movie set and then given a guided tour. Our guide gave us plenty of time to take photo's and ask questions. We also stopped for a free drink in 'Green Dragon'. If your a fan of the films, or not, it is highly worth the 2 hours!
This tour of Hobbiton was great. Candace was our guide and did a really nice job telling us about the set, filming techniques etc. The complimentary beer at the end was icing. After a little bit, I did get slightly bored just seeing hobbit houses.
