View on Google MapsNathan was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide…we learned a lot about Wellington as well as Lord of the Rings. It was a small group and he took his time taking pictures for us, recreating scenes, and giving us advice to enhance our stay on Wellington.
This Lord of the Rings tour was very well planned. We saw a rain forest in one direction, a woodsy location in a park, with lots of pictures showing how it appeared in the movies, and hearing about how the director accomplished all that. Small hikes in each, beautiful places. Got a small tour of downtown Wellington. Saw lots of beautiful scenery on the way to the Weta Cave Experience, which was a real eye-opening look at creating costumes, props and special effects for movies. Nathan told us a lot about life in New Zealand, and we appreciated his experience and extensive knowledge. It was a wonderful, full, charming, delightful day for us!!
Nathan is a super friendly and nice tour guide. We leaned a lot from the trip. Nathan did a very good job and we enjoyed the tour very much.

What an excellent tour! So informative and a must do for any Lord of the Rings fan! Nathan was so play AWESOME and such a wealth of knowledge and made the day so enjoyable! We highly recommend this tour and so glad we went on the extended tour. They took great care to get us back to the cruise ship in time and were extremely professional. A truly worry free day! A+++ Would definitely do this tour again!
We had a fabulous experience with Nathan, our guide! I am a big LOTR fan and this tour was amazing. Nathan was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - and he was also an extra in the Return of the King as an Orc!!
Nathan was a fantastic guide who went above and beyond to show us the Lord of the Rings filming locations. His knowledge of the background information on the set up, filming and creativity to make things work was amazing along with his knowledge of the movie scenes and dialogue. His interaction with our group made it a wonderful experience. We loved this tour.
Nathan and Ian did a wonderful job providing so much information and helping us reimagine lots of LOTR scenes from all the various locations we went to. We had such an enjoyable time on the the tour. Every stop was a chance to see and learn more. Highly recommend the tour. Exceptional guides.
We had a great time. First of all Nathan picked us up not in a van instead we got the chance to experience the whole Tour in a BMW in private. It was only possible because we were the only ones that day and yes maybe they could have cancelled the tour but they did not. He was an amazing guide and shared so much knowledge with us also small fun facts about the production and also about New zealand. He answered almost every question we had and we definitly saw a lot of the filming locations. We recreated the scences and laughed at the pictures later. Nathan brought small props for some spots. Included is also a tour in the weka workshop where you can look at all different props for different movies. It was very interesting and interactive. If you like lord of the rings this tour is definetly a recommendation! And Nathan is really the best tour guide for this!
When booking the tour we were expecting to be apart of a mini bus of people. Nathan picked us up from hotel reception in a luxury BMW sedan since we were the only guests, and gave us a private full day LOTR tour. Nathan was amazing and really helped bring the film locations to life! He even got to show off his great photography skills and in-depth knowledge of the LOTR and Wellington as a whole. The included WETA workshop tour was a great experience as we got to see behind the scenes to all the movie magic! The full day tour finished off with the amazing views from Mount Victoria! When Nathan dropped us off, he gave us a traditional Māori farewell and even some suggestions for activities and food for the rest of our stay in Wellington! This is the best for LOTR fans and even those new to the franchise will enjoy the natural and magical beauty behind the locations. Huge thank you to Nathan for a fantastic day, good laughs, great banter, and incredible insight!
Nathan our guide was amazing, knowledgeable, chatty, full of trivia and interesting insights into the city, the movies and New Zealand!
