I have waited for 10 years for the chance to visit Middle-earth, and Vic & Raewyn made it everything I had hoped for and MORE! Our November 2011 Fellowship was a wonderful group, and we all had so much fun together exploring New Zealand and visiting our favorite Lord of the Rings sites! Vic, Raewyn, and Julie are extremely knowledgeable... More

Vic, Raewyn, and all their help put an extraordinary effort into making this trip a "fellowship" of its own. Not only are wonderful vistages explored through the country of New Zealand that travel the full length and breadth of Jackson's films, but each location has a history they are able to tell, whether reflections on the films, testimony of extras...

I joined the February 2012 Fellowship of Red Carpet Tours and what an amazing adventure we had!!! How comfortable it was to tour with people from all over the world who shared a common interest in the Lord of the Rings and New Zealand. We were all entertained, educated and enchanted by our caring tour guides, Vic and Julie. We... More

Kia ora! I had an amazing time traveling through New Zealand and Middle Earth for 12 days, back in January of 2009. I love film making and Lord of the Rings, so visiting the filming locations was great. Red Carpet Tours has relationships with various land owners, so we got to visit locations that many other tours can't approach. Even... More

What a fantastic tour!! Vic & Raewyn are the ultimate tour guides, who can't do enough for all members of the tour group in regards to its needs. The tour itself covers so many sites you wouldn't experience on normal tours or if you were doing a self-drive around NZ. Hobbiton, Black Rider Farm, Gravity Falls, Poolburn and of course... More

I traveled with Red Carpet Tours in November 2008 & absolutely loved it! The chance to see the beauty of New Zealand in person is not to be missed! My main reason for booking with Red Carpet was to visit the filming sites of The Lord of the Rings movies, but you don't have to be a fan of the... More

Up close and personal with the sites, cozy and homely with Vic&Raewyn: THE must-do trip of a lifetime. You travel around NZ like it really is Middle Earth, you see things and experience nature like you wouldn't do by yourself. You form friendships for life. You want to there... And back again... And again and again! Vic&Raewyn make it feel... More

My husband and I and our grown-up son are from the UK. We went on the Red Carpet Tour in 2005 and loved every minute! From the moment we were met at Auckland Airport by Vic James we knew we were in safe hands. He, his wife Raewyn and daughter Julie are friendly, welcoming people who take care of everything... More
