Edoras, terre des seigneurs des chevaux

J’ai passé une excellente journée en Terre du Milieu grâce à notre guide : Chris. J’ai appris plus sur la Nouvelle-Zélande en une journée qu’en six mois : chapeau ! J’ai pourtant visité tous les musées d’Auckland, le Te Papa à Wellington et le Canterbury museum, autrement dit j’avais déjà quelques connaissasnes. Bref je recommande 😉

superbe excursions mais réservation laborieuse

La réservation a été annulée la veille, heureusement que Hassle-free tour a été réactif car Bookme pas du tout ! Le paiement s'effectue avant que la disponibilité soit vérifiée ! c'est anormal !! Concernant l'excursion elle a été fantastique, le lieu restera mon top 1 du séjour ! Le guide a été très sympathique ! je recommande à 200% !!

A great day out

We had a rainy grey day when we set out. The tour guide Maria had a fantastic positive attitude that made our journey to mt Sunday sunny and bright. She had great energy and we had so much fun. The day brightened as we proceeded to the bottom of mt Sunday and by the time we were at the top we had blue skies & sunshine peeking through the cloud. We got the best of both worlds with some moody mountains with low cloud and then sunshine and blue skies with snow capped mountain views. So fun and stunning scenery.
