Overall an outstanding tour with a lot of good information and great to see all those filming locations for LOTR. Our guide was Robin who was an extra throughout the three movies and it was fun hearing his perspectives and talking with someone who was really in the thick of the movie making experience. The van was comfortable and the props were a nice touch to make photos a bit more memorable. Highly recommend this tour and this company.

Absolutely great! Although I don't speak English, the tour guide was still able to make me understand the itinerary. The tour guide was excellent and very attentive. When we arrived at the place to see the seals, they asked us what we wanted to drink. The cola I wanted to drink was even ice-cold, which I couldn't have imagined. Highly recommended! 👍 They replied to emails very quickly. They replied less than 5 minutes after I sent it. Everyone involved in the process was very good. They brought warmth to my Wellington trip. Thank you for your service and I wish you good business. If I can come to New Zealand again in the future, I will definitely come again!!!

We super enjoyed this! Patrick was a fantastic guide! We appreciated that he shared with us his favorite artwork around the city. He also shared with us information about Wellington. We also enjoyed the hot drinks on the way back. This was a great experience :)

great tour - our guide was very knowledgeable not just about Lord of the Rings but also told us a lot about Wellington and New Zealand history. Recommended!

This Chinese tour allows us to quickly visit various attractions in Wellington in a short period of time. The tour guide, Mia, is very professional. Our group was with another group of Taiwanese tourists (who came on a cruise). We were all able to interact with the tour guide and each other during the tour, which was really great! Mia's guided tour was also very professional. Highly recommended!

Using the Klook Pass New Zealand was one of the best decisions during my trip. It turned out to be a big money saver. I wanted to do several activities but was worried about the weather. Fortunately, the pass offers flexible cancellation, which made planning much easier. For example, I cancelled my Glowworm Cave tour two days in advance and rebooked another time when the weather was better. The booking and cancellation process was very quick and simple. I used the pass for Shotover Jet in Queenstown, whale watching in Kaikōura, and the Glowworm Cave in Rotorua. Overall, the savings were significant—it basically felt like one activity was free. The only thing to keep in mind is making sure you use all the activities before leaving New Zealand and check the weather so you can adjust your bookings if needed. If you’re planning to do multiple activities, this pass is definitely worth it and saves a lot of money.
