Review of: Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour
Absolutely fantastic experience with this tour - even though I was a LOTR novice. The tour guide catered to our knowledge of LOTR and explained so much about the film series and the upcoming Amazon tv series. We came away with more facts about LOTR and the behind-the-scenes story of the film series' production. At the end of the trip we felt like we had gone on a fun road trip with an old friend - would highly recommend this tour to anyone with half a day in Queenstown!…

Review of: Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour
We had the best day on our LOTR tour with Joel. We are a family of 4 (2 daughters 13 and 15 years) and have watched the LOTR movies numerous times. Our youngest daughter is a huge fan which was what prompted us to book the tour. It was definitely her favourite activity during our week in Queenstown. The scenery was stunning despite being a slightly overcast cloudy day but Joel’s knowledge and commentary and friendly fun approach more than made up for it. We visited many of the filming locations for not only the LOTR , but the Hobbit, Xmen, Mission Impossible. etc. We learnt a lot about the behind the scenes filming tricks, history of the area, local facts Joel kept us entertained for 4 hours, visiting many locations, a few short nature walks , a delightful afternoon tea and many photos including complimentary costumes ! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would 100% recommend it to everyone !…

Review of: Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour
We had an exceptional morning with the highly knowledgeable & jovial Joel. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on the tour, which meant extra personalized attention! The filming locations were breathtaking to behold & the trip was well worth it. Highly recommended as an activity to do in Glenorchy, even if it's raining!…

Review of: Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour
The time flew by! We had such a nice day for the trip, the views were stunning and Joel was such a great guide. I would absolutely recommend this tour. The locations were AMAZING! And some you won’t have access to with any other tours. I will for sure be visiting again! Choose small family owned businesses, they’ll look after you better!…
