This tour was amazing. Our guide Tristan was brilliant - really knew his stuff and provided an enjoyable and well done tour. Loved the way the booklet and movie shots were used in conjunction with the actual scenes. Second breakfast was cool - elevensives too would have been top notch 😉. Recreating some of the scenes was fantastic (maybe promote that you have props and bring them out - at least the clocks - for the first stop) Lothlorien was may FAV - def having props added to the experience. Maybe encourage people to use the clocks and guide them towards great spots for photos there (I have an eye for this and actually loved helping others on the tour to get the most out of it). This was definitely a secret gem of a tour. Thanks @Tristan for being a top guide and thanks @PureGlenorchy team for such a great tour.
Absolutely awesome, not a bad word to say! Cool locations and a great guide who was very passionate
Not worth the money. The guide refused to give me some of the gluten free cookies after everyone finish eating. Also no one asked me previously if I was gluten free or not.
Massive thanks to Marisa for making to tour such a great experience! She was very welcoming and friendly and had great knowledge on Lord of the Rings
