Trip to New Zealand

[forestrane]

Hi everyone. Hope you're all well.

We're planning a trip to New Zealand in 2012 and am looking for recommendations for tour companies. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Well, the one all the LotR geeks take is the Red Carpet Tour. They visit all the Lord of the Rings sites. They are also going to have a tour around the premiere of the first "The Hobbit" movie in November 2012. That is still in the early planning stages since they don't know exactly when the premiere is going to be. It will be in Wellington, though.

Here's a link for more:

There are many other companies, of course, but I don't know anything about those.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the name of that one.

OMG, that's fantastic!!!!!!! I cannot recommend Red Carpet Tours enough! Vic and Raewyn are fans themselves and such nice people - and now their daughter Julie has joined the team too.

They developed another NZ tour, which is more focused on NZ's nature and Maori heritage (though you get some of that on the LotR tour too) - the website is http://www.spiritualtours.com

Have fun planning, and keep us updated! :D

Thanks for the new link. We're looking into it. I know you and KC had a great time on the tour.
