Great day!!
Had such a fantastic time on this tour Solly the guide was so enthusiastic and friendly, he was so passionate about his job and really went the extra mile- even sang songs from the films for us on the way back!

Great half-day visit
Our tour guide was friendly，humorous and he explained a lot of knowledge along the way. He took us to appreciate the beautiful scenery and provided some snacks to keep us warm. I highly recommend this half-day tour to friends who cannot drive themselves.

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.

Thanks for your feedback — we're really sorry to hear about your experience. We always aim to accommodate dietary needs and it’s clear we missed the mark here. Your comments have been shared with the team so we can ensure this doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention. - Solomon, PG

Magic half day LOTR & top 10 world’s best drives!
Best way to take in a ‘top 10’ world’s best drives, with the Lord of the Rings flavour! Host was brilliant, so knowledgeable not just with LOTR facts but local culture as well. A perfect way to spend a half day!!

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the magic of both Middle-earth and one of the world’s most scenic drives. It’s awesome to hear our guide’s LOTR knowledge and local insights made the journey even more special. Appreciate you joining us for the adventure! - Solomon, PG

Amazing day in middle earth
We had a great time during this tour. The locations were breathtaking, especially at the Paradise region. Our tour guide, Amy, was very friendly and had a deep knowledge of the movies and the area in general. She gave us many interesting insights about the LOTR production that made us appreciate the films even more. Overall, a great experience.
