Fun and Scenic
A fun trip to one of New Zealands most scenic places. You don’t even have to love the movies but if you do it would be a very cool trip. Host Amy was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Beutiful experience
We did the tour with Nick, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The most beautiful place was the paradise, although all the tour was worth admiring. Great costumes and weapons as well. Highly recommend

Not worth the money
Not worth the money. The guide refused to give me some of the gluten free cookies after everyone finish eating. Also no one asked me previously if I was gluten free or not.

Excellent tour!
Had a fantastic morning with our guide Amy at many gorgeous spots that they filmed LOTR. We also got to have fun with some costumes and prop swords for those who wanted to. Got lots of fun insights and stories about the actors, filming and locations. Heartily recommended even if you aren’t a huge LOTR fan, it’s a lovely way to see Glenorchy and a bit of Mount Aspiring National Park.
