So good
Difficult to beat a tour from someone who actually worked with Peter Jackson. Phenomenal experience!

Thanks Oscar! We are very lucky to have several people on our staff who worked on the films as well as several more with other film industry experience. This means we're well placed to share stories and anecdotes that you won't hear anywhere else.

An amazing day with a lot of LOTR
One of the best tours any Lord of the Rings fan should take, period! Our tour guide, James, had an unparalleled knowledge of The Lord of the Rings, and it was incredible to see how the trilogy was filmed — right here in Wellington. 10/10 would do the tour again. Highly recommended!
