Jen was fun and knew everything! Even if you had not seen any movies, the tour was engaging and interesting and gave you a real sense for the incredible variety of geography in NZ…and at each stop, she showed photo from movies to match precisely where you were. (Tour co. selects lunch site if do all day, would have liked healthier choice.)
Hello Middle Earth

It was all I’d hoped to see. Especially enjoyed the river ride. Tea and banana bread most welcome. Guides outstanding and friendly. I wanted a cloak and you were out of stock. BIG disappointment.
Great day for LOTR fans

I did a whole day LOTR tour and really liked it a lot. Jordan and Jenny really took the time and showed all the LOTR spots. Driving around in a 4WD makes it much more exciting.
Beautiful and interesting

We were lucky and had this tour on a gorgeous day. We did the full day and had Bruna in the morning and Graham in the afternoon. Both were great. Learned about LOTR sights and also other interesting things about the areas. The lunch is just in town at a local spot. Not bad but not great.
Definitely enjoyed the tour but probably could have stuck with just the morning or the afternoon vs both.
