Everything came together really well, from pick up to tour to drop off! The driver Dave was really great, provided fascinating history and humorous insights into the country all across the journey. Our tour guide at Hobbiton was a real Tolkien expert and provided really interesting facts and details throughout the whole experience.

I am not a LotR fan but I really enjoyed being of the set, you can see how much attention is paid to details. I won't say more because I don't want to spoil anything but that was worth it. I choose to go there at the end of my holiday, it did not disappoint. Big thank you to Yuna (I hope the spelling is correct) the tour guide who kindly took photos of me. I now have great memories to show.

The tour was great! Highly recommended. No hassle from start to finish even though the weather wasn’t great. Everyone, from Tod (the coach driver) to the Hobbiton staff, were all incredibly nice and knowledgeable, which added extra points to the already beautiful Hobbiton. My wife and I had a wonderful time, especially as Lord of the Rings fans.

For LOTR fans like us, it’s really worth it. We enjoyed the tour despite of the light rain. The lunch buffet included in our package was also great. Todd, our coach driver was very accommodating, well experienced driver and tour operator. His joke is funny and he is a very nice person. Thanks to Greatsights for this unforgettable wonderful experience.
