Great morning visiting the Weta Workshop. - Polite and friendly driver took us to the location. Tour guide (Maggie?) was well versed on the history and purpose of the workshop. She spoke with passion on the variety of activities carried out there and the quality of the work produced. Very informative and enjoyable morning. Highly recommend a visit.

Great tour - Great tour from the moment we were picked up in Wellington. The driver had been an orc in LOTR and had lots of interesting stories. The tour guide was energetic and knew her stuff! It was wonderful to see props, even wear a few and take photos, as well as chat with creators. Would recommend to anyone, not just Middle Earth fans, but fantastic for us LOTR fans especially.

Great time! - An incredible company I wish I knew about before now, like when I couldn't go to Jim Henson's creature shop in 2004.... Great people, cool stuff to see and do, like the foil sculpting!
