    This was a great experience! Got to meet lots of fun people with similar passions for LOTR and the Hobbit. Our driver, Karthick, was great, and gave great information on the drive.

    If you're going to do any tour at Hobbiton, be sure to do the Evening Banquet Tour! Our tour had around 40 people, but we were the only group on the entire set. We were able to take pictures without random people walking in the background, and it was so quiet. Our guides were amazing, and the banquet at the Green Dragon was delicious! Whatever you do, don't skip a visit to Hobbiton because you think it's "touristy"...it truly is a magical and surreal experience that will bring a tear to the eye of any fan of the movies.
