Others are Saying...
"Now that I'm back in the real world (and how I miss NZ aka Middle-Earth already), I just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic day that my husband and I spent on the Rover Ring Tour, with Jack and a minibus full of other enthusiasts. My hubby wasn't even a particular fan (though he's sat through the films a few times to keep me company) and even he reckoned that it was a great day. Jack's boundless knowledge and enthusiasm made the day really special, as opposed to just a tour of the locations... Thanks, and thanks again. I am still raving about your tour to anyone who will listen, so hopefully some of them will visit New Zealand in the next couple of years and come to see you" (Maria from England, April 06)

"I had a wonderful time on the tour and have greatly enjoyed the pictures - and the bragging rights associated with them. I wanted to write and compliment the driver we had, I believe his name was Jack (if I remember correctly the van was Gollum). He was quite enjoyable and easy to talk with throughout the day. At the end of the day I had difficulties finding a place to stay and he went out of his way to make sure I found a place. The service and help he provided was invaluable and truly helped my entire trip to Wellington." (Mark from USA, Feb 2006)
