Join us on an epic Middle-earth adventure, exploring iconic movie locations in urban and ancient native landscapes that inspired Peter Jackson's cinematic masterpiece, Lord of The Rings, and delve into Wellington's rich movie history
If you plan to do a LotR tour in New Zealand this is the one! It was absolutely amazing. Wywy (probably spelled incorrectly) knew so much not only about LotR but about New Zealand in general – culture, nature, mythology,… Everything he said was so interesting, we would be able to listen to him for hours. What could be better then spending a whole day with someone who was part of the LotR set?
It is indeed a great way to spend a day! Our guides are full of knowledge and information about all things Lord of the Rings, but we also have a keen interest in the whole story of our region which we also like to share along the way.
This was a fantastic tour and our driver Ben was absolutely amazing with his knowledge. It was 8 hours of absolute pleasure and the buffet lunch was a welcome addition to the tour. Definitely a must do trip.
Thanks Jean! Ben is a recent addition to the team but is loving the chance to share his stories!
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!
Wellington is often forgotten about as a Lord of the Rings destination beyond the Weta Workshop, and we love showing off the filming locations around the region. We're all big fans, and we have several people on staff who worked on the films, so we're well set with stories and information to share that you can't find in guide books! Glad you enjoyed it
Very well explained and interesting trip
