As a longtime fan of the Tolkien books since primary school, a stop at Hobbiton was a must for me (sorry Paul). We spent our first night at Hamilton and did Hobbiton the next morning. There were absolutely no queues and I think there was only one other tour that morning. One of the staff told us that they had laid off about 300 employees since COVID. The tour was really well done and included a drink at the Green Dragon inn.
