5.00Perfect for Lord of the Rings enthusiasts: half day trip so you can fit in other activities, hitting several locations from the movies, with a guide who knows absolutely everything about the movies and books. Our guide, Benji, was a fount of information and very friendly (and so helpful with taking pictures for solo travellers!).
An amazing experience for an LOTR fan

5.00As an LOTR fan, this tour was such a great experience. Not only were the locations stunning but having an entertaining and knowledgeable guide in Eby elevated the experience. Even my 8 year old who’s not a fan of LOTR thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Especially the part where we all got to take photos and videos in our LOTR costumes with the LOTR props.
Great day

Great LOTR experience for avid or not-avid fans

5.00My 23 year old son and I joined for the tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was in Queenstown in early 2025, and I actually attended with the same company then too. I joined again for a second time, knowing that my son - an avid Lord of the Rings fan - would likely enjoy it too. There were other alternatives that we could have used, but we both agreed that this itinerary sounded like a better fit for us. We would classify ourselves as big fans of the movies, and we have both read some of the Tolkien books. So, not novice, nor bleeding edge. However the tour is geared for people at any level of interest. I have now toured with both Ian and Shane from Southern Trails, and I can honestly say that you are in excellent hands with either guide. They offer the same itinerary and both share fun stories and anecdotes along the way. The stops to see the sights from the movies were all very memorable, and the staging done to recreate the specific scenes from the movie further supported the presentation. We actually also visited Hobbiton on the trip, and I think both of us actually enjoyed this excursion more. I highly recommend this tour.
Amazing experience for LOTR fan!

5.00It was an amazing day from start to finish!! Guide was Ian and the pick up was punctual, small crowd size so it was easy to chat to everyone. Hopped on the van to various LOTR filming locations and Ian was funny yet informative, with many different fun facts of LOTR production. Scenery was amazing, with at least six different beautiful locations. The best part of the interaction with replicas of the weapons, it was epic!! Overall it was a 10/10 experience and we would highly recommend any LOTR fan to join it and support Southern Trails!!

5.00We had a fantastic time on our Middle Earth tour. Eby was our guide, and he took great care of us. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and all around fun to spend time with. The tour was a great balance of beautiful New Zealand scenery and awesome nerdy LOTR behind the scenes insights. We loved getting to see so many filming locations without having to drive far in between.
