Incredible mind blowing tour! Such a fun tour guide with lots of interesting facts and local knowledge. Immensely deepened my love for LOTR. Amazing tour of Glenochy too, one of the most beautiful places in the country. Definitely recommend! They had props too!

This trip was fantastic. We really enjoyed seeing multiple locations and loved that they brought along photos from the scenes shot in each place. Being able to dress up and take photos with replica weapons at the end was also great fun. This was a really great experience and showed a lovely variety of the different scenery New Zealand has to offer.

Solly was a great knowledgeable, passionate guide with a personal skill I won’t ruin but suffice to say he set the atmosphere perfectly for a great tour for 7 of us. Enjoyed this much more than I expected and whet our appetite to go looking for Anduin and other sites. Easy to see how LoTR used the various sites. Great for learning about the area’s beauty as well. Highly recommended

Wonderful scenery and commentary relating to the Lord of the Rings films and filming locations. Knowledgeable tour guide who drove the mini bus and led tour group of 12 people.

Tristan, our guide, was well-informed, a genuine enthusiast on the topic of the LOTR movies, and a natural communicator. I have a wee bit of background on Lord of the Rings, but the sad movie nerd part of my brain found almost nothing to disagree with :-) Awesome tour. Cheers!!

I'm not a Lord of the Rings fan, but I chose this tour based on the opportunities to see the scenery, and it did not disappoint. Our guide had been an extra in one of the movies, so he definitely knew all about the movies, and I found his extra information fascinating. The views that he took us to were beautiful, and he made the trip fun for all of us. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic LOTR tour! Highly recommend this company - our Tour guide Tristan was amazing, he’s incredibly knowledgeable about all things LOTR and you’ll be swept up in his passion!

Stunning scenery, jam packed with info, costumes to dress up in, and you get a fab morning/afternoon tea as well! Not to mention access to private land used for filming that no other company has. I’m glad we chose this tour!
