This is the LotR tour you want to go on. It’s not the flashiest, but it is one of the most engaging tours with special access you can’t find elsewhere. Even “uncomfortable bits” of a crazy gravel road they can’t control, our guide made it fun. In addition to LotR, you learn about the region, other movies in the area, little tidbits about upcoming films, the history of Tolkien, etc. You don’t have to be a super fan to enjoy this! The swords are also so much fun along with the costumes etc. So glad we picked this tour over others!
