From the pick up in Wakefield street, the tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Totally professional and enjoyable experience.
A great tour, thoroughly enjoyed can’t wait to bring my grandkids down to visit. So many talented kiwis passionate about what they love - very proud to be a kiwi
This a great tour for fans of sci-fi to see how one of the greatest special effects companies do their work. It includes an exclusive video and museum of props. Followed by a short your of how they make them inclusion more original props. Also a great gift shop for unique momentos.
Knowledable people. I can recommend this tour to young and old. I never realised the film industry in Wellington was this big
Great experience, would recommend to anyone.
We were completely blown away by the talented team and what they produce in such an unglamorous situation. We were so glad that we went there and all the transport etc. worked seamlessly. If ever you are in Wellington make sure you have a look at Weta Workshop.
