Faszinierend, atemberaubend und höchst informativ
Eines muss man vorab sagen: Die Tour war hochprofessionell organisiert, gut strukturiert und profitierte enorm von Annie und ihrer hoch charmanten Art. Überpünktlich ging es morgens los, schon die Fahrt zum ersten Stop führte durch eine malerische Kulisse. Die Punkte waren für eine Halbtagestour gut gewählt, nicht zu weit auseinander und vermittelten einen guten Eindruck von den Drehorten. Sehr gut war, dass sich Annie nicht auf Herr der Ringe beschränkte, sondern sehr viel lokale Geschichte miteinfließen ließ. Dadurch bekam man für Queenstown und Umgebung nochmal einen sehr viel besseren Eindruck. 5 von 5 Punkten versteht sich hier von ganz alleine.

Excellent tour, knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide
This was a great tour, Ben, our guide, knew lots of behind-the-scenes stories, gave us lots of quizzes along the way that brought out his "nerd factor" and that of the other guests. We did another LOTR tour with Pure Glenorchy Scenic Lord of the Rings Tours the day before and there was no overlap at all so that was great. They were also able to pick us up in Arrowtown (where we were staying) partway through the tour, saving us the trip back to Queenstown. The props and dress-up is pretty much the same, but Trails of Middle Earth - Lord of the Rings Sightseeing Tours had cool script and location notes that added a lot to the experience. Highly recommended.
