Great day!!
Had such a fantastic time on this tour Solly the guide was so enthusiastic and friendly, he was so passionate about his job and really went the extra mile- even sang songs from the films for us on the way back!

Great half-day visit
Our tour guide was friendly，humorous and he explained a lot of knowledge along the way. He took us to appreciate the beautiful scenery and provided some snacks to keep us warm. I highly recommend this half-day tour to friends who cannot drive themselves.

Magic half day LOTR & top 10 world’s best drives!
Best way to take in a ‘top 10’ world’s best drives, with the Lord of the Rings flavour! Host was brilliant, so knowledgeable not just with LOTR facts but local culture as well. A perfect way to spend a half day!!

Amazing day in middle earth
We had a great time during this tour. The locations were breathtaking, especially at the Paradise region. Our tour guide, Amy, was very friendly and had a deep knowledge of the movies and the area in general. She gave us many interesting insights about the LOTR production that made us appreciate the films even more. Overall, a great experience.
