This tour was fantastic - made the more interesting having Hammond Peek - Sound Production from the actual movie being one of the tour guides. The information and antedotes were great. Will now have to watch all the movies again.

The tour was fun and informative, the guide was very knowledgable and presented the information very clearly. He got everybody involved with the activities and didn't rush or hurry things which allowed you to relax and enjoy the day. Would recommend to friends.

This was a great day out with a tour guide that was a member of the actual film crew and had a lot of added information and insight to give. There was only a small group of us on this tour which made it more enjoyable as everyone got involved in having a great time.

Great Tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the entire day one I will never forget. This tour made my entire two-week stay in New Zealand and Australia worth every penny! The entire experience far exceeded my expectations, and as a Tolkien fan of over 40 years, I was hoping for a great deal. My day up to the spectacular Mt. Sunday valley was a smash hit!

Connie (22/05/2010) |
Very nice, relaxed and exciting. Loved the tour operator Terry. He was funny, informative and very interactive. Highly recommended. Enjoyed lunch too.

It was great. The guide was enthusiastic & knowledgeable. The scenery was fantastic. The highlight of our trip.
Sue (26/01/2010) |
On a number of levels, the experience was truly exceptional. It's hard to see all of a country in just a couple weeks, but the drive was a great chance to see the Canterbury region and learn a lot about the culture from our guide along the way. The Rakaia Gorge was almost as compelling as the Edoras site itself. I would highly recommend this tour to those wanting not only a picture of a remarkable LOTR site but also a chance to experience rural New Zealand.
Jake Smith (26/01/2010) |
A fantastic day! The scenery was spectacular, our guide Mark was excellent, providing valuable information on the way and at our destination, and answering all questions. Thanks for a very memorable day!
Name Withheld (01/08/2009) |
We loved this tour! We had the best guide (Mike). Very informative, funny and friendly! Would recommend to anyone- even if (like us) they aren't LOTR fans. The day is full of sights and information that anyone would enjoy.
Hannah Lerke And Roslyn Alison (08/07/2009) |
We had such an amazing time - our tour guide, Terry was very friendly, full of knowledge and had a lot of fun anecdotes for us. We never felt rushed and we managed to see and do so much! I would definitely book another tour, the whole process runs like clockwork, from booking online to getting dropped off at our accommodation.
Sindy (04/07/2009) |
This was an excellent day tour from start to finish. I was lucky enough to be on a tour led by a member of the film crew, and his insight into the making of all three films and how the locations were sought, built and then dismantled was an added extra. Lots of great scenery and a good fun experience.
