Jason Stratford
is 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".
