As I’m not a huge *Lord of the Rings* fan, I was a bit sceptical. But I was absolutely delighted with the visit. It’s a beautiful site, designed and maintained with great attention to detail. The guide recounted stories from the filming with great enthusiasm, and we had plenty of time for questions and photos. We highly recommend it! Please keep up the good work!

We had a wonderful guide Natalie who made the whole experience wonderful. She had so much information and knowledge and gave us plenty of time to take photos and explore the village. As someone who has difficulty walking long distances the pace was very comfortable and it did not feel like 2 and a half hours of walking and plenty of stops along the way made it extremely doable. Thanks for a great day out. Five stars

The tour of the film set was fantastic. Everything is really well-maintained and very well organized. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather, and we took some wonderful photos. It's definitely a must-see for fans of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit" when visiting New Zealand. Even for those who haven't seen the films, it's absolutely worth seeing because of the unique scenery! Greetings from Bruno

The tour was incredible. I was blown away by the beautiful rolling hills and the gorgeous set display. You can tell how much time and energy the grounds keepers put into maintaining the gardens. Our tour guide was also exceptional, big shout out to Cory he made us feel very welcome and cracked some great jokes.

The weather was kind and we thoroughly enjoyed our journey through the Shire. Our tour guide, Ellen, was patient and kind as we all took a gazilion photos. Being able to walk through a hobbit hole was absolutely amazing and was the highlight of our day. It is so worth a visit!
