Great experience, great tour guide
Really enjoyed the tour as it was good to good to get around and experience another part of queenstown ( without having a car hired). Our tour guide Amy was so lovely, fun and had so much knowledge on LOTR but also a lil local knowledge also. Would have loved to learnt the Maori names of certain places and appreciated that Amy was able to name one places. Would definitely recommend try his tour and thank Amy for just being so great at her mahi!

Not worth the money
Not worth the money. The guide refused to give me some of the gluten free cookies after everyone finish eating. Also no one asked me previously if I was gluten free or not.

LOTR - Glenorchy BTS tour - AMAZING!!!
This tour was amazing. Our guide Tristan was brilliant - really knew his stuff and provided an enjoyable and well done tour. Loved the way the booklet and movie shots were used in conjunction with the actual scenes. Second breakfast was cool - elevensives too would have been top notch 😉. Recreating some of the scenes was fantastic (maybe promote that you have props and bring them out - at least the clocks - for the first stop) Lothlorien was may FAV - def having props added to the experience. Maybe encourage people to use the clocks and guide them towards great spots for photos there (I have an eye for this and actually loved helping others on the tour to get the most out of it). This was definitely a secret gem of a tour. Thanks @Tristan for being a top guide and thanks @PureGlenorchy team for such a great tour.

Thanks for the amazing review! We're so glad you had a brilliant time with Tristan — he’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback. Love that you got into the spirit with the props and scene recreations (and yes, we agree… elevenses next time!). Thanks for the great suggestions and for helping others enjoy the experience too — that’s the true Fellowship spirit! - Solomon, PG
