This tour was amazing! Everything was good and it did run smoothly. The travel, driver, the car, the tour, the tour guide and the Hobbiton itself. Very worth it! The place was magical! ✨

It's a worthwhile attraction. Although limestone geology can be seen in other places, the glow worm cave is really special. The scenery of Habi Village is very good and you can also visit it.

The bus guide was so kind and fun and guided us well, so I felt even better~ Hobbiton was better than I thought, and it was nice to be able to drink beer at the end! The cave was also so beautiful and cool. Thank you for giving me a special experience~
