Complete waste of time. I was only in Wellington for a day and half with my tour, and I wasted it with this and doing laundry. I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings films, but this offered nothing I didn't already know. The tour picks you up at your hotel first thing and spends the entire day driving you around various parklands in and around Wellington. The guide uses screen shots to point out trees at each stop that appeared in the film. The trilogy was shot between 1999 and 2003, so naturally none of the custom-built set pieces are still sitting around in public areas. The tour does not visit any of the closed sets or workshops. Getting in and out of the mini van a few dozen times a day becomes a pain, especially if you're in the back row. The lunch, made by the guide at one of the stops, consists of sandwiches. They were fine, but definitely nothing like what you could have found at a modest cafe. The "trivia" offered is mostly common knowledge among the films' fans. If you paid any attention to the publicity interviews or special features during the theatrical or DVD releases, you won't hear anything new. If you're not a fan of the movies or haven't seen them, this is NOT a good tour to take just to see the city. The Rings talk is non-stop. The only plus was the visit to Kaitoke Regional Park, where you have about an hour of free time to wander the paths on your own. This was my only quiet time in two weeks on my Contiki tour, so I relished it. I had a better Rings-themed evening later on when I went to The Green Parrot, a family-run restaurant that Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) is a fan of, and then attended a film at the same theatre where Return of the King held it's world premiere. The film sucked, but I sat in Liv Tyler's (Arwen's) seat. That was kind of cool.
