Not all those who wander are lost - The tour was lovely. I’m not a CRAZY fan as I only watch LOTR a few episodes, but I watch the Hobbit, Wolverine, Mission Impossible and appreciate the preference to these movies and filming locations. This tour inspires me to go back and watch all of the LOTR and other movies again. I like how the your guide is funny and talented. He keep us busy but doesn’t feel like rushing. And he sings, and turns on music background when need be. I do feel he loves his country thru the tour.

Fantastic small group tour, locations visited were stunning. - Highlight of my NZ trip for sure!! Such a good tour, for both lotr fans and those interested in sight seeing. The locations visited are stunning, plus a very knowledgeable and fun guide made the tour worth it for sure (plus the dress up and banter along the way). Absolutely worth it!

Serenaded in Glenorchy - Life long Kiwi Solomon (Solly) has a beautiful voice, a serenely joyful disposition, and a clear love of LOTR and pride in New Zealand. A very pleasurable, enlightening and entertaining 4 hours.

Fantastic Experience for any LoTR Fan - Had a brilliant time on the tour with Solly. It was fantastic to see some of the filming locations from the films and hear stories about the filming process. It was lively to have some refreshments provided as well as opportunities to dress up which was great fun! Also loved the performances by Solly as well as the recordings and music! Would recommend!

Precious experience! - Amazing experience visiting so many of the LOTR filming locations and hearing the behind the scenes stories! The door mat at the entrance of the van sets the scene, the props and costumes in the main sequence with the second breakfast take the culminating point and the drive back with the soundtrack wrap it up!
