Lord of The Rings expert tour guide
Dixie arrived on time with a smile and a bounce. With 4 guests on board she made us each feel like we were superstars! We found Dixie to be knowledgeable and engaging. With her broad understanding and education in the film industry and her passion for LOTR we were entertained with back ground stories, behind the scene antics and Peter Jackson’s famous pink shirts. We loved every minute. Thanks Dixie!

Thanks for your review, Lollita! Like many of our guides, Dixie is a super fan and also has experience in the film industry, so she's well placed to share her wealth of knowledge with our guests. I'm delighted you enjoyed the morning so much you decided to join the Full Day tour!

I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
Even though I have not seen any of the Lord of Rings movies (I know, right?! Lol), I had a blast with the half-day tours. JAMES, the tour guide, is not only very knowledgeable but also very passionate about the movie industry and made a huge difference in the experience! Visiting Weta Project was definitely the cherry of this tour, you got see and touch a lot of prosthetics that were used in many famous movies!

Hi Flavia, Thanks for your review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us, even though you're not a Lord of the Rings fan. This happens to us often, sp we always include information about the city and Wellington life, not just Lord of the Rings. We want to make every0one feel included, and your review shows us that it's working. However, we can LOTR to the max when required, also!
