Great 4.0
Interesting and insightful tour on character design and prop making for movies. Guide was passionate and engaging. Would recommend the Auckland location if looking for a more interactive experience. Wellington lets you have glimpse of how they work and see the actual props.

If I could give this 100/100 I would. This tour experience was phenomenal for Loro of the Rings buffs. Our tour guide, Natalie was amazing. We were lucky to have a small group of five people until the afternoon, then it was my husband and I with Natalie on the rest of our journey was amazing. We were lucky to have a small group of five people until the afternoon, then it was my husband and 1 with Natalie on the rest of our journey through the film locations. Would highly recommend you book the full day tour! Well worth it.

This is an excellent museum, the largest in New Zealand, spread across four large floors. The exhibition on the Battle of Gallipoli in 1915-16 is particularly impressive. You can't see the whole museum in less than 3 hours.

Our tour guide was incredibly enthusiastic, taking us to Tongue Point, a spot very close to the sea lions. The itinerary was well-planned, and even though the road conditions weren't the smoothest, we felt completely at ease with our guide. You definitely shouldn't miss this!

The guide introduced so many backgrounds and details about New Zealand history including Wellington. The sightseeing locations were awesome, and I had more clear understanding for this country.

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 :)

Mike, our tour guide, made the trip fun and enjoyable. He is very knowledgeable about New Zealand and shared lots of interesting information along the way. We visited many great places and enjoyed tasting local cheeses, chocolates, and wines. We also got to see Rivendell, the lighthouse, and the seals at Cape Palliser. The tour was very comfortable, and the vehicle was clean and well maintained.

Klook pass does really save you some money and it's easy to also book the attractions. Just be warned that the standalone package dates and time availability is different from the klook pass

What to know before visiting Wellington

What to do in Wellington year‑round

Wellington is best known for its Tours, followed by Cruises and occasional Water activities, with walking sightseeing, food and cultural tours dominating visitor activity through the year. Klook booking data shows intense seasonality: January is a clear high point while September is a very quiet month. Plan around the rhythm of the year—summer months bring the liveliest programme of tours and cruises, while shoulder and winter months are calmer and better for indoor cultural experiences. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or a quieter visit based on that Klook booking data.

When to visit and what to expect

Klook booking data marks January as a peak month and September as the quietest month. Prices move unevenly through the year: the median paid on Klook drifts very low in several months but spikes in June, so demand and price do not always move together. If you want fewer crowds and typically lower prices, aim for October through November; if you want peak-season atmosphere choose January or June despite higher demand and, in June, typically higher prices. Choose quieter months for lower prices and less crowding.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Peak demand PHP 59
February Peak demand PHP 59
March About average PHP 59
April About average PHP 1,189
May Busier than usual PHP 59
June Peak demand PHP 3,271
July Busier than usual PHP 476
August Very quiet PHP 2,081
September Very quiet PHP 2,854
October Very quiet PHP 59
November About average PHP 1,843
December Quieter than usual PHP 119

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines tend to lock experiences in around four days ahead, though the earliest planners book about three weeks out. That means you can be flexible and often book a day or two before travel, but the peak months (notably January and June) are when booking earlier pays off. Use Klook to compare typical options and secure tickets or tours a few days before departure for weekday or shoulder-month travel; for January or June try to book closer to that three‑week window to avoid missing popular dates. Klook booking data supports these timing tips.
