Excellent for fans

Film sites: Great to see local sites where the movies were filmed with fantastic commentary from a guide clearly passionate about the films and the local area. A wealth of knowledge. Equipped with behind the scenes photos to really bring the areas to life and prove that it really happened. Plenty of energy and really friendly. Weta: Absolutely excellent. Really great tour showing off their simply incredible work. More there than I ever knew they had contributed to. Some real in depth knowledge and even some hands on stuff. Good chats with some of the team and a great tour guide who really knew her stuff. A credit to the industry. A highly recommended tour for any fan of the books or films.
