The way to (nerd) Paradise

I had a very nice half day trip with Dan. He was a great and funny Guide and kept the best for last - Paradise. Just for that this trip was worth it. But you also get to put on costumes and handle some wapons. A really fun day and absolutely recommended.

Great LOTR tour

A bit of a last minute decision, to join the tour but so glad we did. Our tour guide, was clearly a fan, and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Lots of fun factoids, and at the locations, the relevant scene from the film was also shown by the guide as he talked about it, which was very useful. They have access to one of the shooting locations that others don't. Also had a fantastic set of costume and props for posing with. Well worth doing if you are a LOTR fan

We love a good last-minute adventure - and we’re so glad you decided to join us! It’s great to hear how much you enjoyed the enthusiasm and depth of knowledge your guide brought to the day. Showing the actual film scenes alongside the real locations is such a powerful way to connect everything, so it’s awesome to know that really landed for you. - Solomon

Amazing day in middle earth

We had a great time during this tour. The locations were breathtaking, especially at the Paradise region. Our tour guide, Amy, was very friendly and had a deep knowledge of the movies and the area in general. She gave us many interesting insights about the LOTR production that made us appreciate the films even more. Overall, a great experience.

Not worth the money

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.
