Fantastique !
Nous avons eu une journée fantastique à la hauteur de nos attentes. C'est un most pour tous les fans du Seigneurs des anneaux. Nous avons eu Steve comme guide. Il a travaillé avec Peter Jackson. C'était génial !

Great!
Count on a day of lots of driving hours. It's about 2,5 hours there, and 2,5 hours back again. But our guide Maria told wonderful stories so the time flew by! The location makes it all worthwhile!!!!

A MUST for any LotR fan
The groups are a reasonable size and my guide was knowledgeable and able to answer most of my questions. I can't imagine visiting New Zealand as a Lord of the Rings fan without going to Edoras but it's a majestic slice of scenery regardless of whether or not you're a hardcore fan.

We had a beautiful day with blue sky and no wind !!! The landscape around Mount Sunday is simply wonderful. The driver who was also the guide gave plenty explanations and was very pleasant. Alltogether, I had an excellent day !
