点评:I was a part of the April 2026 “Fellowship” tour group and I have nothing but positive things to say about Red Carpet Tours! It is an incredible trip for any fans of the Lord of the Rings films, and to be honest, even amongst the stunning natural beauty of New Zealand and the immersive fun of seeing “Middle-Earth”, one of the most memorable parts of the experience was the obvious genuine passion and care that tour guides Julie and Josh have. It is obvious that they are among the biggest fans present and they go above and beyond to make sure that the tour is spectacular. They are kind, fun, and extremely knowledgeable, and they ensure that everybody on the tour has a wonderful time!
A few tips for anybody looking to join for future tours! The helicopter tour from Nelson to the “South of Rivendell” filming location is advertised as being optional but highly recommended; I would rate that among the top, if not my absolute favourite, location we visited, so I really urge anybody making the trip to sign up for that. For anybody particularly adventurous, I would also recommend doing some research into other filming locations which are not on the Red Carpet tour, very understandably due to not being accessible by the tour bus or requiring a more strenuous hike than can be expected of a large tour group. Many of these can be accessed via Auckland or Queenstown before the beginning or after the end of the tour respectively, or else can easily be visited during “free time” along the way.
All in all, I would say that Red Carpet Tours is the absolute best way to get not only the full “Lord of the Rings” experience, but to also experience New Zealand and the fantastic beauty and culture of the country.
Thank you!

给未来想参加旅行团的朋友们一些小贴士!从尼尔森到“瑞文戴尔以南”拍摄地的直升机之旅虽然是可选项目,但强烈推荐;这绝对是我们此行最喜欢的景点之一,甚至可以说是最棒的,所以我强烈建议所有计划参加旅行团的朋友都报名参加。对于特别喜欢冒险的朋友,我建议您也研究一下红毯之旅之外的其他拍摄地点。这些地点不在红毯之旅的行程范围内,原因显而易见:要么旅游巴士无法直达,要么需要比大型旅行团更费力的徒步。许多拍摄地点都可以在行程开始前或结束后分别从奥克兰或皇后镇前往,或者也可以在旅途中的“自由活动时间”轻松游览。
总而言之,我认为红毯之旅不仅是体验完整《指环王》之旅的最佳方式,也是领略新西兰及其迷人风光和文化的绝佳途径。
谢谢!
