We had the most amazing day exploring beautiful Wellington! Blessed to have a wind free, sun filled day too! Nathan our guide was absolutely brilliant!! His stories and enthusiasm made the day fly! He felt like a part of the fam by the end of it! Seeing so many locations where LOTR was filmed, learning some extra facts and getting a chance to recreate some scenes was a lot of fun - and through it all we remained amazed at just how beautiful Wellington is!! 10/10 for sure!!!

A Great Day out!
Nathan was a very nice guy, showing us all the sites with pictures taken during the LOTR filming to show how it was. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his enthusiasm for his town, LOTR and NZ was infectious. He had lots of information about the filming, the director and current filming to impart. He was also able to share about living in Wellington for us to compare with living overseas. He took us to a local bakery to grab lunch with the local option very cheap but good and an art deco cinema next door with more luxury and a price tag to match. So we could have our choice with no fuss or hassle. The weta workshop was way more interesting than we had expected and the whole day was very enjoyable with a few little surprises from Nathan along the way. Highly recommend this tour.

What a great LotR day in Wellington!
We had such a great day seeing LotR sights in Wellington! We had previously been on a 12-day Red Carpet Tours tour, but my husband had broken his ankle right before our trip and we could not participate in some of the activities during the Red Carpet tour due to this. Cue Nathan to save the day when we returned to Wellington and my husband's ankle had healed some. He took us to all the filming locations that we had missed and ones that our previous tour had not included and we had a blast! Nathan was so kind and accommodating, answered all our questions, and provided a wonderful commentary. Highly recommend!

Great Day That Gave Us a Real Taste of Wellington
Our tour covered Lord of the Rings and so much more. Sam, our guide, drove and walked us around all the Lord of the Rings sites and the Weta tour. But he also highlighted neighborhoods, Wellington history and events and views. We also enjoyed learning about plants and trees native to New Zealand and Sam’s humor. Made for a fun day.

Hey Paula. Thanks for your awesome review & as we say sometimes, Ka Rawe! (which means that's awesome). Sam is a great fella & loves to share plenty of goodness in our home town. He continues to enrich his knowledge with ongoing learning so I'm glad you guys were beneficiaries of that. I've no doubt he had a fun day with you too so thanks for travelling with our family owned business. 5 star guests ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Take this tour!!
The full-day LOTR tour with guide-extraordinaire Nathan has been a highlight of my trip to New Zealand. Since tourism is a little slower at this time of year, we ended up on what became a private tour. Nathan was unfailingly knowledgeable, friendly, super organized, and willing to play photographer, making the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. He even took us to an excellent pie shop when we mentioned liking New Zealand pies! And of course, Weta was everything I hoped it would be! I highly recommend this tour for any major or minor LOTR fans - it is an excellent way to not only indulge your LOTR fandom, but also experience and explore Wellington and its surrounding beauty. Thank you Nathan!! You helped to make this trip truly unforgettable!

Awesome guide, great locations!
I thought this tour was awesome! Natalie was wonderful. My only reason for only giving 4 stars was because lunch was at 2:00. That is way to late for lunch when you have dinner plans in the evening. I recommend they move the lunch to an earlier time.

Lord of the Rings Visit
Interesting tour, visited several of the sites where the films were made. Guide was excellent, very familiar with the films and had photos from the film to show us the scenes at each location. Visit to Weta Workshop was fascinating.
