Doing what: Wellington's Lord of the Rings Locations Tour including Lunch
Our tour guide was great! He was funny and knew a lot about the the filming locations for all of the LOTR movies. He had a role on the film and shared many of his interesting experiences. I had so much fun learning more about LOTR and about Wellington!

This tour was a great way to see the Wellington area. We saw lots of locations from all the LOTR movies and each was explained and a short clip from the movie was shown of most locations. There was plenty of time look around and even act out some scenes if you're really keen! Our tour guide also shared several anecdotal stories about the actors during the filming of the movies. The tour can be tailored slightly to your knowledge of the movies there was someone on our tour who had never seen the movies or read the books and gave you an insight into the atmosphere of Wellington during the filming. Morning tea and lunch were included and both were very yummy! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in the Lord of the Rings and arent staying in Wellington for long you really get to see the whole area.

I had a fantastic time on our tour. I believe our tour's name was Ronald and he was great. The only bad part was the weather and it was raining out. Aside from that we loved it.

Such a knowledgeable guide - not only about the Lord of the Rings but about the lovely city of Wellington and its history. A great day out, particularly the picnic shared with ducks.

The guide from Wellington Rover Tours was excellent! She was enthusiastic, engaging and very informative. Her knowledge of the subject was amazing! Wellington Rover Tours were also very helpful as we were waiting to be picked up for the tour at the wrong location. After contacting WRT to say that we were waiting for them, they immediately made arrangements to pick us up from this location. We were very impressed with their service.

Absolutely brilliant with an extremely knowledgeable guide. A fantastic experience and look forward to doing it again. We had 360 degree views of snowcapped mountains...gorgeous.

This was a wonderful tour and our guide was amazing. He really enjoyed his work and new all about New Zealand to provide nice history on the way out and back. The trip did involve a hike up to the area where they filmed Lord of the Rings. You would need to be in moderate shape to make that hike. Would recommend it to anyone.

We were picked up as scheduled and treated to a glorious day in the mountains, plus a fantastic guide who was able to verbally and visually recreate the movie scenes for us. A trip well worth the cost.
