Lord of the Rings Full Day Private Wellington Tour (2 people)

Robbie was the best guide my wife and I have had the pleasure. In addition to an outstanding tour of Lord of the Ring filming sites, he regaled us with anecdotes about the filming; inside stories about his approximately 100 days as an extra, trials of filming, cast member activities between takes, etc. At the Weta Workshop, Robbie had a familiarity with the props and staff, allowing us to wear helmets and wield swords that may not have been available to other people touring Weta. Robbie treated us to an outstanding lunch and adjusted his normal tour route to see Wellington sites, such as the capital, that we had requested. Robbie met us at the ship slightly before the scheduled time and returned us comfortable before all aboard. A fantastic tour.

We had a fantastic time with Robbie on the LOTR Wellington tour. The tour is a must-do if you are a LOTR fan - Robbie has a near-endless supply of anecdotes from his extensive time on-set as a LOTR extra, the Weta tour is phenomenal, and the filming locations we hit were quite interesting (including locations for Rivendell, Isengard, the Shire, and more). You also get to learn a good deal about Wellington more generally, and Robbie was always happy to answer any questions we had, whether LOTR-related or otherwise. Finally, Robbie was affable and a great hang for the day. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

Robbie was an outstanding tour guide! Because it was our first day in the city, he made sure we saw the sights as well as many LotR filming locations. He was very knowledgeable of all things Tolkien. It was very interesting to hear about the movie magic. His book of movie photos and memorabilia helped to illustrate the importance of each location. It was great hearing behind the scenes stories of Robbie as an extra in the films. Lunch was delicious and scenic. It was truly a magical day!

We had a fantastic tour with Robbie! As an extra for the Lord of the Rings, he is the consummate insider with great stories about the filming and intimate knowledge of the sites. Robbie is also very warm and friendly with a great sense of humor. In addition to the Rings tour, we visited the Weta Workshop which is wonderful. Robbie also took us for an excellent local lunch, and provided us with great insight into the Kiwi culture and history. Highly recommend Robbie as your guide in Wellington!

Robbie was terrific! He was so very knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about telling us about the filming sites around Wellington. He was very flexible because we had changed our mind about doing something and we wanted to go to the museum instead and he didn't even hesitate in fact, he was very knowledgeable about the museum. I thought that Robbie did a wonderful job and I was very impressed with his vast knowledge! Do not hesitate to book him. He's wonderful!

Taking this tour was one of the best parts of our first-time trip to New Zealand. Robbie was amazingly personable and knowledgeable, and it was so cool to hear stories of the filming of the movies from an insider. He didn't just talk about LOTR, he truly shared his love of his home. We learned about local flora and fauna, Maori history and culture, and a little history of Wellington. My only wish was that I had taken even more photos. I was so busy talking and walking, I didn't stop to take a lot of photos. Would 11/10 recommend Robbie's tour!
