Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all things LOTR and was an excellent storyteller! I thoroughly enjoyed the Weta Workshop tour and seeing all the amazing props and costumes that were made for movies other than LOTR. Seeing the film locations with the sets no longer there required your imagination—but you can’t be an LOTR fan without one.

Fun LOTR Tour
Such an awesome way to see some of the filming locations from LOTR, learn lots about how the movies were made and see some beautiful scenery around Wellington. The tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable and the lunch was great. Overall really great day and highly recommend doing

Amazing guide
We had the best guide on our tour; Marc. Ha was a Ringwraith, an elf, a Gondorian, a Rohirrim and a bunch of other things in the original films and had so many great stories to tell from the set and from behind the scenes.
Being on the actual locations are cool on its own, but it’s a different thing entirely when you’re there with someone who worked on the films, both behind and in front of the camera. Marc’s passion for the films and everything Tolkien radiates and really elevated the whole experience.

Thanks for your great feedback! We actually have several guides who worked on the films and other who have other film industry experience, so we're well placed to share stories that you won't be able to find anywhere else.

It is fantastic that they let you borrow Aragorn's sword to have it with you while they explain things to you; my son absolutely loved it. The locations are incredible. I would do it again.

Muchas gracias por tu fantástico comentario. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que tu hijo disfrutó tanto de la experiencia, especialmente de tener la espada de Aragorn en sus manos. Qué bueno saber que disfrutasteis de las localizaciones y que lo volveríais a hacer.

Best tour ever - Brilliant!
Fantastic tour - our guide was extremely well versed, friendly and had a huge knowledge base. He exuded his love of all things LOTR. You could tour all the locations by yourself and come away none the wiser and disappointed. We came home and replayed the movies and instantly could recognise the locations we visited. Sorry, I can't remember the guides name - maybe in his 50's - runs marathons and has visited and researched Tolkiens home and history.
Thanks so much - very highly recommended

Thank you so much for your lovely review!
Grant was your Guide. He’s genuinely passionate about Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings, so it’s wonderful to know that his enthusiasm and knowledge helped bring the locations to life for you.
And we love that you went home and watched the movies again! Thanks so much for recommending Grant and our tour.

Must do experience for all LOTR fans!!
If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan and coming to NZ, I would go to Wellington just to do this!! The weta workshop was amazing and then visiting all of the locations around Wellington where LOTR was shot was breathtaking. Our guide Sarah was so knowledgeable of not just LOTR but also Wellington and all of the surrounding areas. She brought props for photo opportunities at filming locations as well as snacks and drinks for everyone along the way. Truely an unforgettable experience and I can’t recommend this enough.

Generally enjoyed my time.
I enjoyed my tour around Weta Workshop. The weather was rainy, but it was still good to look around filming locations for The Lord of the Rings.

We're big LotR fans, but...
We're big LotR fans, but it's worth mentioning there were people on this trip who'd never seen the movies or read the books (not sure how that's possible, but it happened), who also had a great time on this movie. "Frenchie", our guide, was an extra on the film, playing "around twenty elves, and a black rider in one scene", to hear him tell it, and the behind-the-scenes stories and lore alone were worth the price of the tour. Add to that the official locations, and the tour and history of Weta, and it was a day to remember.

We designed the tour to satisfy any LOTR fan but keeping in mind we still get a lot of people who haven't seen the movies or just bits of them so the tour is packed with lots of stories and scenery that are interesting for anyone. Thanks for the feedback.

A LotR Fan Must Do!
This tour was simply phenomenal! Talk about hitting all of the most important parts of Wellington in a day! We visited so many film sites and learned so many cool Lord of the Rings facts that we had never heard of despite being die hard Lord of the Rings fans. The tour guide also provided costumes and props to make our experience extra fun. WETA workshop was a beauty in and of itself. You cannot take photos on the first half of the tour, but Saurons armor was probably the most incredible work of art I’ve seen and I was so happy to view it up close and take in every detail. The lunch that we stopped at was also spectacular and was off of a very cute Lord of the Rings menu. It was one of the best dining places we’ve done in New Zealand so far. The Legolas Lembas Bread option was particularly a favorite among my family.

I have spent 20 years refining this tour ;) Glad it meet your expectations. As many of us worked on the films we have stories and information that you just can't find anywhere else. LOTR is such a great vehicle to show off the beautiful region we live in. We try to make the included lunch a feature as a fellowship needs its fuel when adventuring. Thanks for the feedback.
