Is there a lot of walking? I have a bad back and can only walk about a mile before it gives out and who knows what it will be like by then.

The cumulative daily standing is 1-2 hours, and the cumulative daily walking is up to 1-2 miles/1.6-3.2 km per day. The terrains are of short distances that mostly involves flat surfaces and some stairs. The sightseeing style would be mostly by going to and coming from the transports with occasional walking.

Can you add a guided trip on the last day of this trip to Hobbiton? If you can't, I can book my own tour on the last day when you take others to the airport

We are sorry but we cannot add a guided trip to Hobbiton on the last day of the tour since our tours have a fixed schedule. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

When trying to book accommodations I want a single room. It would not let me click on the single room. Please let me know how I can book the single room.

We have notified Tour Radar that you are having some difficulties with booking. They will reach out to you shortly with further assistance. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
