Cần Quan Tâm
Weta Workshop
Delve into the heart of Wellywood and visit the Weta Workshop, a physical effects workshop who created all the props, armour, weapons, costumes, miniatures and prosthetics for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. Learn the secrets of movie magic on a behind-the-scenes tour by a Weta employee, who will explain the creative process behind bringing these films to life. You'll also have chance to take photos with various characters and weapons, as well as treating yourself to a souvenir or two, if desired.
Mount Victoria Lookout
Enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the harbour and city from the Mt Victoria lookout. Your guide will talk about the landmarks you can see from the top and help you take photos. Mt Victoria is always on the list of things to do in Wellington, so we thought we'd save you the trouble of walking up the hill to get there!

5.00Great overview of Wellington starting with Mount Victoria, The WETA workshop was certainly a highlight. Multiple stops and visits for LOTR filming sites including a river, parks and rainforest. Water and snacks given earlier and a wonderful buffet lunch was provided at a lovely restaurant.. make sure you look at the garden on site. The guides were full of information and answered all questions... a must do for Wellington.

5.00Wow! This tour was awesome andis a MUST while in Wellington! We give it the highest rating possible out of all the experiences we have done in our three week tour . It was a fascinating experience, and we learned so much about Wellington, WETA workshop, film, production and the Lord of the Rings filming details. The guide told such interesting stories about all the characters, actors and locations! Our guides were Ben and Gina B and they were funny, friendly, efficient , interesting and so knowledgeable. They even went out of their way to help us out with some travel and shopping tips at the end of the tour.

5.00Be prepared to walk and know there are some ‘drive by’ points - have your camera ready. Also be prepared for the Wellington elements. The Weta Workshop tour doesn’t allow photos so develop your photographic memory skills. Great tour. Thanks Grant!

5.00While we had some rain, this was a great tour! Dixie was lots of fun and most helpful. Her subject matter knowledge was super and she brought to locations to life for us. My wife and I were not gung-ho LOTR people like some in our group, but were caught up in the excitement. We enjoyed hiking around in the woods a bit and the studio was amazing.
Exceptional tour.

5.00Our tour was very fun and comprehensive. Marc was an exceptional tour guide, as he played a number of roles in front of and behind the camera on the LoTR trilogy. His stories made the whole experience unforgettable. Lots of photo ops. There are a few filming locations in Wellington proper, but the full day tour goes outside the city for some amazing walks through nature. Perfect for LoTR superfans and regular fans that want to learn more. Rainforest tour was a great addition as well. Highly recommend this tour.

5.00Marc was great! Really relaxed tour, and thorough. He told personal and excellent stories of production of LoTR and the Hobbit. Did really good with the trivia quiz! This tour exceeded years of expectation!

5.00From start to finish, our tour guide, Gina, kept the enthusiasm at a high level. The reaction by those on the tour would go from casual interest to immediate excitement with the understanding of a site's significance in the movies. Gina provided a visual reference at these locations that caused everyone to try and get themselves captured in a snapshot or video in the exact same position as seen in the movies. Her work as an "extra" and behind the scenes provided depth not to be found in any brochure. Gina's running monologue between locations was insightful and continued to build on each other throughout the day. I found many of my unspoken questions were eventually answered through this telling. I also appreciated Gina's sharing the effect these movies had upon the residents of the city of Wellington. I now have a much better understanding of the work involved and the challenges encountered in making a movie. A tour is only as good as the guide providing it. Gina made this tour amazing. I would recommend this tour 100%. Well done!

5.00Our guide, Andy, made the tour worthwhile. It was clear he had a passion for LOTR and Wellington and was always willing to take a picture or offer local advice. More than just LOTR trivia, he had a personal connection to the films and the city and taught us about the history of Wellington and the local Māori tribes. The film locations and views were incredible to see but it was our guide that really made this tour stand out.

5.00Hamish made our day, weather and all. This is such a great tour, and needed since almost all filming locations have reverted to natural habitat. The stories are not to miss. We had a really great lunch at the café, the bread pudding was a knockout! The Weta Workshop tour is also a must see. So great!
