Visit some of the most iconic locations from the Lord of the Rings movies and the famous Weta Workshop, where the films were made. Your expert guide will entertain you with unique stories of how the movies were created, often from first-hand experience.
Visit the Mt. Victoria Lookout to enjoy stunning views of the city before descending into the forested slopes of the Outer Shire. Follow the Hobbits as they find a shortcut to mushrooms and "get off the road" as they hide from the Black Riders before escaping to the Buckleberry Ferry.
Then, we journey to the famous Weta Workshop, which made all the props, armor, weapons, and costumes for Middle-earth. Included is a behind-the-scenes look at how movie magic is created.
