Wonderful tour
Did this tour on a cold Wellington day and still had a ball. The Weta studio tour was very informative. Would loved to have done the full day tour but it wouldn't fit into our schedule. If you're any kind of LOTR fan and you're visiting Wellington, do this tour.

Weta 4 hr trip
Very interesting at weta guide both in weta and the rest very good and enthusiastic but visit to woodland filming points less so
From Wellington’s Original Lord of the Rings Tour - Half Day (incl Weta)
I'm glad you enjoyed both your guides, but sorry that you didn't enjoy the filming locations. Mt Victoria is home to some pretty iconic scenes and we do our best to bring them to life, but it has been 26+ years since they filmed there so there is a degree of difference from the actual films.

Amazing Lotr-tour
I booked the half day tour and had so much fun that I wanted to do the full day tour, which was possible for what I am thankful!
From Wellington’s Original Lord of the Rings Tour - Half Day (incl Weta)
It actually happens quite often that people enjoy the Half Day tour so much that they want to join for the rest of the day, as well. We will always allow the upgrade whenever there's seats available! I see your photo was taken in Rivendell, which is probably the highlight of the extra scenes you saw.

Fun day
A well spent day in Wellington. Mark and Chris were such a fun hostess for a tour guide that our day was not boring even though it’s a windy day at the time we went for a short day trip. ☺️
