Hobbiton was amazing! Beware though, it books up months in advance, so definitely book way ahead of time. For the tour itself, the Shire is stunning - it has truly breathtaking landscapes and gardens. Our tour guide Mira was fantastic and provided a lot of great LOTR facts. The complimentary drink from The Green Dragon Inn was very tasty and you can buy bottled drinks from their gift shop exclusive to Hobbiton. We wanted to do the Evening Banquet Tour but it was booked up so we did the day tour which was still great. We got lunch at the cafe after which had lots of tasty options. Walking through the houses was also a very special treat since it’s only been open since 2023. Overall, we are so happy we got to experience this!

What am awesome experience. BOOK IN ADVANCE!!! I booked my nighttime banquet 6 months in advance and almost did not get a spot. You will not regret the banquet. Loved our tour guides, having the place practically to yourself (small group), actually going into a Hobbit hole and seeing the entire inside set up. And ending with dinner and an amazing lantern walk back to the busses.

Simply amazing! I highly recommend booking the 5 pm tour – that way there’s no group behind you and you can really enjoy the scenery. The landscape is exactly how you imagine the Shire — absolutely magical! You can take stunning pictures, walk inside the Hobbit holes, and see all the original film locations from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, I forgot his name, but the guy from France was an incredible tour guide – super friendly, full of knowledge, happy, and funny. He made the whole experience even more special. You truly feel like you’ve stepped into Middle-earth, whether as a Hobbit or a human visitor.
