You will get to stand by the gate to Bilbo’s house ‘Bag End’ overlooking the Party Tree and the whole set to the hills in the distance. A highlight of the tour is the opportunity to go inside a Hobbit hole. This interactive part of the tour gives you the chance to explore inside a Hobbit home! For example – try out a hobbit sized bed, sit at the dining table and check out the amazing detail that has gone into this creation. *The tour at Hobbiton is with a larger group for the tour on set.
