we paid 1500 usd for a van to drive five of us to Hobbiton. We paid separately for the Hobbiton tickets. It was a 2 hour drive there and 2 hours back. The 1500 literally was only for a van and driver. There was not touring or showing us anything on the way and no lunch. It is literally a huge waste of money. Rent a van for a day yourself and book the tickets on line. You will save 1300 USD!

Memorable! It definitely left lasting imprints in our life's adventures as a family. Our young adult kids loved it too.
