Join us on an epic Middle-earth adventure, exploring iconic movie locations in urban and ancient native landscapes that inspired Peter Jackson's cinematic masterpiece, Lord of The Rings, and delve into Wellington's rich movie history
Thanks Jean! Ben is a recent addition to the team but is loving the chance to share his stories!
One of the best tours any Lord of the Rings fan should take, period! Our tour guide, James, had an unparalleled knowledge of The Lord of the Rings, and it was incredible to see how the trilogy was filmed — right here in Wellington. 10/10 would do the tour again. Highly recommended!
Wellington is often forgotten about as a Lord of the Rings destination beyond the Weta Workshop, and we love showing off the filming locations around the region. We're all big fans, and we have several people on staff who worked on the films, so we're well set with stories and information to share that you can't find in guide books! Glad you enjoyed it
Very well explained and interesting trip
Husband and I loved the tour. Tour guide was brilliant. Thoroughly recommend tour to others.
Thanks Ngaire! I'm glad you both enjoyed the tour. Proof that Lord of the Rings can be for locals as well!
Amazing tour with our guide Hamish, very friendly and incredible activities all along !

Amazing tour
This was a fantastic tour and our driver Ben was absolutely amazing with his knowledge. It was 8 hours of absolute pleasure and the buffet lunch was a welcome addition to the tour. Definitely a must do trip.
