Our Story
Sceneit started with a 5 weeks hand customised trip through New Zealand’s “Lord of the Rings” filming locations in 2013. It took months to find the right base trip to customise, the right extra tours to add, the places to stay, the routes to follow, and to book everything. But in the end it was all more than worth it, and those weeks in Middle Earth and New Zealand were some of the best of our lives. No words could describe the incredible experience and the sensation that our “Fellowship" had. We feasted like Hobbits, rode like the Rohirrim, trekked like the Rangers of Gondor, encountered places like the Elves of ages passed, stood in places long forgotten, soared through the skies like eagles, and were enlightened with insider details from the filming by locals like a Mithrandir studying the ancient scrolls in the archives of the white city of Minas Tirith. It was quite frankly “An Unexpected journey” even though we thoroughly planned our journey.

This experience inspired us to create Sceneit years later. We wanted to bring as many fans as possible to their favourite filming locations and have the same incredible experience we had, all around the world (or the Seven Kingdoms?)!
We want people to have the most unforgettable adventures, and once they come back home, and rewatch their favourite movie/series, scream with joy “LOOK LOOK WE’VE BEEN THERE! WE’VE SEEN IT (SCENEIT!)” (Pun intended).
We are film travel experts that want to bring film locations into the forefront of traveling! Sceneit is made and run by film tourism enthusiasts, for film tourism enthusiasts! We work with experts film experts, authors, professional photographers, local guides and many more to curate the best selection of locations, tours, franchises and destinations world wide.
New films or series are always high on our list and we love traveling. It’s really a match made in heaven. We have all been on various film location tours and can’t wait to go and explore the next one! We don’t have customers, we have explorers!
Our goals are to inspire people, help them plan, book and visit these unique places! We know “the night (or the internet) is full of terrors” but unlike those that play the Game of Thrones, here there are only winners! We strive to be fun, adventurous, comprehensive, informative and reassuring!
One day we want to have all filming locations, tours, trips and providers united so that every explorer can get to exactly the fanatical place they want to visit, in a few clicks.
Join us on this incredible journey, no matter if you are an explorer, or a provider.
