Overview



Red Carpet Tours are the original Lord of the Rings tour operator in New Zealand, providing the most comprehensive tours available. Established in 2002, our constant refinement means we now offer the very best of both Lord of the Rings and New Zealand in one compelling package.

Our 'Lord of the Rings' New Zealand tour options range from 1 to 14 days long and feature many of the key filming locations made famous by the movie trilogy.

Passionate and knowledgeable, our team is here to make your dream of visiting Middle-Earth a reality.

Join our Lord of the Rings tours and let us lead you in the footsteps of your favourite hobbits through the lush green fields of the Shire, to gaze upon the shorelines of unspoiled lakes surrounded by snow-capped peaks, and to epic battle grounds, in an experience so compelling you will almost hear the distant thud of hooves and swords clashing.

You will start your New Zealand tour with strangers, and depart as friends, bound by the memories from an adventure of a lifetime on a journey exploring the length and breadth of the country that has become Middle-Earth.

Here are 7 reasons why you should let us take you on an adventure through Middle-Earth.
  • 1. Make Life-Long Friends - Be part of a fellowship from the moment you arrive until the time you leave. Our small groups allow you to easily mix with like-minded people and form friendships that last a lifetime.
  • 2. Discover Exclusive Movie Locations - We will take you off the beaten track to locations closed to the public, where you will experience not only awe-inspiring scenery and sets but also meet some of those who were involved in making the films.
  • 3. Passionate Guides - Your tour will be led by our passionate guides, giving you access to their in-depth knowledge of all things LOTR and New Zealand. Our staff make meaningful and lasting friendships with their groups through shared interests and travelling NZ together.
  • 4. The Original and the Best! - As the longest established Lord of the Rings tour operator in Middle Earth, we have built connections and relationships over many years to create the optimal experience for you. We constantly refine our tours based on our guides and tour members' feedback.
  • 5. 100% Authentic - Red Carpet Tours was born out of genuine interest and passion for Tolkien and LOTR. We put the fans first and provide depth of knowledge and detail that will be beyond your expectations. We like to get as 'behind the scenes' as possible - imparting interesting and little known facts, personal interactions with people involved in the production and a chance to bring the scenes to life by acting out a chosen part. This is no "theme-park" experience!
  • 6. Amazing Testimonials - Check out our faultless feedback on Trip Advisor and Rankers.co.nz and you will see what we mean!
  • 7. A Life-Changing Pilgrimage - Many of our customers comment on the life-changing, awe-inspiring nature of the tour in its entirety. The personal and almost sacred aspect of your own personal journey, quest or pilgrimage - has different levels of significance and meaning for each person.
Our Promise to You - "From the moment you arrive in Middle-Earth, we will strive to exceed your expectations. We will take you off the beaten track, to remote locations, the very best sets and scenes, and impart our in-depth knowledge about both Lord of the Rings and New Zealand, creating an inspiring experience you won't forget. Your journey with Red Carpet Tours will be an adventure of a lifetime!"
