Jason Stratfordis our "Middle Earth" expert who recently visited many of the locations of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy movies. Jason says:
"I can design an itinerary based around a client's favourite scenes in the movie if they are wanting to take the self-drive option. New Zealand is an ideal country to explore by car or motor-home as the scenery and driving conditions rival the best in the world."
Travel to beautiful Nelson and you could visit and purchase the "One Ring" from the official jewellers!
Receive the latest "signed by the author" location guide "Free" when you book a self-drive with air package or escorted LOTR tour.
"I can provide them with the Lord Of The Rings Location Guidebook which is unavailable in bookstores in North America, which gives detailed descriptions of the scenes and directions to each of the settings (limited copies available)."
"Isengard Gardens " Gandalf & Saruman meet
"River Anduin to Amon Hen " Travel By The Fellowship On Elven Boats
"Then it becomes like a treasure hunt! It can be quite an emotional experience as the locations seem strangely familiar, even though you may have never visited New Zealand before."
Rivendell
Rivendell & The Fords of Isen
"I can help clients see as much as possible from their time available because I have experienced this myself."
Lothlorien: The Fellowship's departure from Galadriel's dwelling
Hobbiton area
"I also have connections with the only official escorted Lord Of The Rings Locations Tour company who are based in New Zealand, for those who would prefer to join a group tour atmosphere with other fans of the movies for a set 2 weeks itinerary."
"Embassy Theatre": Location Of The WORLD PREMIERE of THE RETURN OF THE KING, December 2003 - Wellington
"Wellington": Location for studio scenes and home of director, Peter Jackson
" The "Middle Earth" theme adds an exciting and unique twist to an already great destination. New Zealand is a safe and beautiful country, it provides excellent value for money and New Zealanders are very friendly, hospitable people".
