5.00Great tour guide. Adil was lovely. Informative, timely and really engaging. Highly recommend booking. He arrived on time, caught us out to ensure we got on the right coach. Was there to greet us afterwards. Really enjoyed the trip. Thanks Adil.
I'm going on an adventure!

5.00This was a must do! As a LOTRs fan, this checked every box and honestly felt surreal. I just wish there were less people in all the photos of I took but short of a private tour, this wouldn't be possible. We had a great time and this became the highlight of our time in NZ. Well worth it!
Great experience

5.00Bring a hat- sunscreen, and pending guided tour or on your own- water. Immersive experience right from the get- if you’re a fan of the movies (and even the books come to life!), you will not be disappointed. A must experience!
Tourist-y?

3.00As a BIG fan of the movie, i was excited to see the shire. I was extremely impressed with the tour, except i think it was a bit TOO touristy. If they possibly scheduled tours a lil more spaced out, i think the experience would be more enjoyable. It felt a lil rushed because there is always people in front and behind our group and it made picture taking a challenge as people were always in ur frame
Great experience
