We attended The Hobbit 10-year anniversary evening and it did not disappoint! Whilst we were there we were guided around the movie set, which is absolutely stunning! This was followed by dinner and drinks at the Green Dragon Inn, and finally, m a midnight screening to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This was the most magical night. All the Staff were super friendly and enthusiastic, everything was kept in immaculate condition and the food was delicious. The night was capped-off by seeing shooting stars whilst watching the mid-night screening, a really unforgettable night!

Ben our tour guide was excellent, he made the tour so upbeat! Lots of passion and very engaging. Beautiful scenery, extremely well done with bus, video and commentary. Well organised.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set. It was very well paced and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. If you are lucky enough to have Paul as your guide, you will come away with a greater understanding of the production of the movies as well as interesting anecdotes about the people involved. We really appreciated his willingness to take photos of us along the way. We are now going to watch the movies again with with our new insights.

Unbelievable experience, staff were incredibly. It was so much fun, we did the evening buffet which includes the tour, it’s about 3 hours long. Food was delicious, and the scenery is beautiful. We were able to see the set in both daylight and nighttime. We took our 4 year old daughter and she loved it.

As my partner is in the movie industry and has been before he was keen to come along for a second time with me as I haven't been before, it was a great experience, loads of opportunities to take photos. At the end you can get a complimentary drink in the pub very cool. I recommend booking in advance as it can fill up pretty quickly. Our tour guide Zanthia or Z was fab.

We booked the Hobbiton breakfast tour, which means your group is the first one on the set and the only one for about 30 minutes. Having Hobbiton all to yourself was wonderful. The guide was great, sharing stories about the set, Peter Jackson, and the filming of various parts of LOTR movies. It is a place that you absolutely can't miss if you visit NZ. After the tour, we stopped at the Green Dragon Inn for a beverage (included in the tour). THEN...breakfast was fantastic - a banquet fit for a king - with more food than we could possibly consume. It was a magical day that was just perfect - even if you are not a huge LOTR fan. Loved every minute!

Huge thanks to Cookie our guide whose knowledge and enthusiasm for the films was amazing. Cookie brought the whole set to life. After booking in, it is a short shuttle ride to the set then an easy guided walk around the Shire ending with a drink at the Green Dragon. Seriously, after visiting Hobbiton you'll want to watch the films again and spot the places you've now been - just don't do it with family or friends back home ... you'll drive them nuts.

We nearly cancelled as the weather was a bit wet, but we’re really glad we did not… really well organised and a great day out. Our guide knew so much and was able to show how the set was used in the films… and even offered people a couple of chances to recreate moments from the Hobbit. The time in the Green Dragon Inn at the end of the tour was a great way to end the visit. We rewatched the Hobbit films when we got home and it was great to see we’re the set in action

The Hobbiton Movie Set Evening Banquet Tour is not to be missed! A short drive from the meeting point (The Shire, Buckland Road which has gift shop, cafe and toilets) through beautiful scenery gets you to Hobbiton. The set is absolutely fantastic and even better than one could have imagined. It is the real deal! The walk takes you past many of the locations featured in the films and there are plenty of photo opportunities. Our guides were fabulous and full of knowledge. Whilst the walk is quite long there are many stops; my 70 year old sister was able to do it, so as long as you have a reasonable level of mobility you should be OK. By far the highlight was the dinner at The Green Dragon. This was an absolute feast! Often food is just a disappointing add-on to a tour, but the food here is a highlight. All delicious and plenty of it! The torchlight procession back to the bus is fun, again with some good photo opportunities at various hobbit-holes. It is quite a late night, but the children on our tour coped well as there is a lot to see and do.

Really enjoyable two hours - our guide was very knowledgeable and happy to pass on his gems of info. We had a nice warm day and so our trip went well. Staff were attentive and helpful to us. As expected the gift shop know how to charge. If you like the behind camera information this will be great. Worth a visit
