Review for: The Lord of the Rings Full Day Tour

Unforgettable Middle-earth tour from Queenstown to Glenorchy aboard Bombur! Our guide brought each LOTR location to life with fun stories and photo stops. Gold panning, Skippers Canyon views, and a handy lunch voucher—everything was perfect. Best tour and best driver ever!

Review for: The Lord of the Rings Full Day Tour

Awesome experience! We get to see all the sights and scenes from the LOTR movie. Also got to dress-up as the character and have fun posing behind the mountain background. The river driving is even better (just remember to have your bag on your lap for this). They will also give you a $20 lunch voucher at Band and Bangles (not halal though - there’s a halal restaurant nearby called Boliwood). Accessible-friendly activity.

Lovely one day tour!Guides are friendly and funny. The scenery is so impressively beautiful and 4 wheels drive into the river is a "must try". Tours in NZ isn't cheap but we'd really good time and it's a memory that money can't buy.

Nice tour. They drive you to each shot of where the lord of ring be filmed and detailed introduce the nature/history/senary of the place we arrive. It's a great time to have all day tour that deeply goes around Queenstown. Highly recommend someone that if you are planning a light and short trip in the town.
