As New Zealand’s Lord of the Rings specialists, we have created stunning tours and experiences that have been specifically tailored to cater to your Middle Earth hopes and expectations.

Our guides’ knowledge and passion are unsurpassed. They will wow you with stories, anecdotes and a wealth of background information of all things LOTR.

We also provide authentically reproduced weapons and costumes for fans to re-enact scenes and pose for photo opportunities. Locations are authenticated with photos to prove you’re standing in the same spot the actors were in the movies. And to top it off, we have a selection of souvenirs for you to remember your experience.
