Fantastic Tour!

Our guide Annie was amazing, full of knowledge with interesting facts. Definitely worth doing this tour even if you're not a LOTR fan. A great way to see Queenstown and the surrounding areas' natural beauty. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the props stop was a bonus on top! Highly recommend this tour!

A great tour

A great tour, Shane the guide is a real 10/10 LOTR fan (although he says he's a 9/10), very patient, caring for everybody in the tour, keeping everyone interested, funny and really knows the small details that make it fun. The scenery was amazing, extra sight seeing with the visit to Arrowtown, and the costumes are a nice cherry on top.

Best day ever

Highly recommend! Our day was awesome and our guide Francesco (hope i remember his name right) was absolutely amazing! I really recommend doing this tour rather than driving to these spots yourself. Definitely a core memory. Thank you!
