Join us for an epic adventure uncovering the cinematic secrets and iconic locations of the Lord of the Rings movie!
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.
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.
Very informative and entertaining! Would recommend!
Thanks Sascha, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Such a great tour! Pick up at our hotel, stop at great LOTR sites with fun commentary, and of course the Weta amazing was. This tour did not disappoint!
Thanks Jeffrey!
Fantastic experience, Grant was a wonderful tour guide, highly recommended
