Becky and Izzy (3rd day at work if my memory serves me correctly) did very well and all the crew at Weta Workshop was engaging and made the 90 mins experience flew by too quickly... Great work guys!

Interesting place to visit - I felt some sections had you standing around in rooms a little too long waiting for each of the tours to rotate rooms but overall enjoyed the visit
