Kia ora Kelly, Thank you for joining us on our tour into Middle Earth. I have tried translating your review using Google but unfortunately parts donโt quite translate that well from Korean so I will respond the best I can and apologies if I miss anything. Your had our fantastic guide Joel that day who also happens to be the owner of the company. He mentioned that you were late for tour that day and also late back to the picnic causing the rest of the tour to be slightly more rushed that usual. I'm genuinely sorry that some of the photos that Joel took of you on your phone came out a bit blurry. If you read the rest of our amazing reviews you can see that our solo travelers love our tour. The front seat is usually a highly sought after commodity and we often offer it to solo travelers to make sure they feel involved and not left out. If Joel did not have the chance to chat to you about your plans in New Zealand then we do apologise. Our guides pride themselves on sharing their expert knowledge with the group and also adding that personal touch to conversations when time permits. In the Lothlorien forest we offer all our guests the opportunity to dress up like members from the fellowship and re-create some of their favourite scenes. You mentioned that our other tour guide (Ben that day) + another family both offered to take pictures of you dressed up in the amazing Lothlorein forest. We are sorry you did not take them up on their offers and hope you can appreciate that we try to encourage everyone to join in on the fun! It sounds like we did not meet your expectations and for this we do apologise as we pride ourselves on being the No.1 rated LOTR tour in Queenstown. In future please do not wait 2 months to send feedback - this is a long time to hold onto negative energy, not good for anyone. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip in New Zealand and had a safe journey back home! Warmest regards, Kate & The Pure Glenorchy team
The Pure Glenorchy Lord of the Rings Tour was beyond amazing. If you are looking to do a Lord of the Rings tour in Queenstown, this is the one. Joel, our tour guide, was incredible. He was very entertaining and extremely friendly to all of us on the tour. He was full of knowledge and facts around the Lord of the Rings movies, other movies made in the areas visited and the history of Queenstown/Glenorchy. This is also the only tour with access to the specific sites the movies were filmed on, so a special experience be exactly where parts of the movies were filmed. It was a lot of fun being able to dress up in the costumes and have pictures taken, whilst also being treated to afternoon tea! (The apricot slice is delicious). Joel was also very helpful; offering to take pictures for us at each site as well as dropping us off in town so we could grab some dinner (with some great restaurant recommendations!) - thank you! I cannot recommend this tour enough! I will definitely be taking this tour again in the future :)
Hey Joel , Thanks so much for your very detailed 5* review :) So happy you had such a great time out with Joel. Cheers for recommending us to others. Make sure you contact us in the future for a repeat customer discount.. All the best mate, Kate

Middle Earth Experience
Fantastic journey from beginning to end. Joel is an amazing guide with lots of in-depth knowledge and full of fun facts. We enjoyed a hot cuppa tea and slice nestled in amongst the stunning mountains and lake surroundings of Glenorchy. You can see why Paradise was used in soo many movies just for the sheer beauty there. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a fan of LOTR or not. The Scenery is magical and my hubby enjoyed riding shotgun opening and closing the gates. ๐๐พ
