Amazing day.
Tour is outstanding and the Dragon Inn at the end of the trip makes it with an included drink in your admission. Cider, beer, ale.... Staff are very enthusiastic about Hobbiton, you enjoy the tour wether you are a fan or not!
-
Expensive and lots of tourists.
But even with that it is a 10/10 because we were the last group so we were really along in the 'Shire' and it is a really little town that you find here. Don't need to be a LOTR fan.
-
Hobbiton was beautiful and so charming and bigger than we expected.
Our guide was great, both funny and informative.
-
Must do when you are a LOTR/Hobbit fan!
Very nice setting, details and very well maintained! Come early morning or late afternoon (because of tours/overcrowding).

Very cool place, looked a lot like in the real movie.
You even get a free drink (beer/cider) after the tour.
-
Although rather expensive, it is great fun to walk along the movie set of the 'Shire'.
Hearing the 'behind the scenes' information is a great plus. Very friendly tour guide and although I am not a huge Hobbit/LOTR fan, I enjoyed this trip very much!
-
We did the banquet tour - dine like a hobbit!
Fantastic, loved this as a hobbit fan. Book early to get the banquet, a bit more expensive, but less people and a lot of food/fun.
-
The whole afternoon was magical and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Gave a 9 as I thought it was slightly over priced but the free beer was a plus!
-
Very good but a bit regimented, would be nice to have unlimited time in the pub at the end.

Hobbiton was beautiful.
The gardens were stunning and our guide Sonny was upbeat and passionate. But it was packed and it completely ruined the experience. Large tour groups, could barely hear the guide. Couldn’t move or see through all of the people. 3 groups ended up merging into 1 and then we just got stuck in lines waiting for a brief glimpse at the houses. 10/10 for our guide but we hated how packed it was.

Good for Lord of the Rings fans.
A bit too busy and rushed. Staff were friendly and informative, but could have allowed more time to look around.
-
It was very expensive to see the film location.
I actually do not know if it was worth it. There were many tourists in a bus, we walked around with our guide - that was all for $76 per person.

It is worth every dollar.
Everything is well organised, allowing you to enjoy the whole visit.

A part of world cultural heritage!
Friendly tour guides, a bit commercial, but cool anyway.
-
It is a good place to be!
A little bit expensive for two hours and there is a lot of people! But amazing for the Lord of the Rings fan!
-
The location is really cool but it is also very expensive - and a lot of people are there but the staff were very friendly and funny.

Rather expensive considering it is a two hour tour, but if you like the Lord of the Rings, it is worth it.
It is well maintained and they tell you interesting facts about the movies.
