Reviews of LOTR Filming Locations Private Tour

Gina at First Light Travel did a great job planning our trip. Most everything was easy, itinerary was well planned out. We wanted to see a lot within a two week period and that we did! Our trip was based around seeing LOTR sites and I have to say it’s a great way to see New Zealand. Especially nice was the Hobbiton tour and dinner, the Tongariro Crossing trek, Weta Workshop, and I could go on and on. If I could change anything it would be that I wish we had one day where we could just do whatever, no driving or tours, maybe an extra day in Queenstown as there’s so much to do there, but we only had so much time so now we will know for next time. Also would have been nice our first driving day to not to have to Uber back to the airport from Auckland as we did see a rental car place right near the hotel. Accommodations were nice and Gina booked multiple rooms each time as we are a family of five adults, so having our own space was nice. Especially loved the QT Museum Hotel in Wellington, the Swiss-Belsuites in Auckland and the Kinross Cottages outside of Queenstown. Until next time NZ and First Light!

My husband and I had a truly memorable vacation. We don't travel much and had no idea what to expect. Natalie made sure our bookings were all set and she had our itinerary planned out beatifully. We did a self drive tour of Aotearoa and managed to travel through North and South Islands. There was a moment we needed to reach out to her and she immediately available to help us out!

If I booked this myself I wouldn't know one accommodation to another. The places we stayed were comfortable and met our budget. We even had a few places that exceeded our expectatons. Thank you!
