즐거운 경험이었습니다

마침 그 타임에 저희 부부만 있어서 더 편하고 자세히 즐길 수 있었습니다. 4시간이라는 시간도 적당해서 아침에 맑은 공기와 함께 자연경관을 즐기며 잠이 깨고 오후 일정을 즐기기도 좋았고, 거의 차로 이동하였기 때문에 체력적인 소모도 없었습니다. 퀸스타운 근방을 훑어보고싶은데 포인트를 모를 때, 무리가 가지 않으면서도 충실한 시간을 보내고 싶을 때 추천합니다

The Best Tour I’ve Ever Been On

This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish (I might be biased because I love LOTR) Solomon was our tour guide and driver, couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable professional person. The weather, locations, fellowship and costumes were all working together to make this day the best. I can’t get over it I’ll talk about this experience for the reminder of my life. Thank you very much Solomon I wish you the best in everything you do. And Pure Glenorchy Tours thank you for a well organised adventure. Ps don’t forget to bring cash so you can buy some memorabilia like I did.

Wow that means a lot to read. Sharing those places with fellow fans is always special. I am glad the weather, the group and a bit of dress up magic all came together for such a memorable day. Solomon, PG
