Swords - It was very cool to carry a sword up a mountain that was used in LOTR. Out driver Natasha was very educated on all the sights we passed

Six star - What a great guide we had a big thanks to Maria for showing us around Mt Sunday. With her great knowledge of the area, and great banter we had all day. We highly recommend everyone who is doing this tour to ask for Maria you definitely won't go wrong with her.

Essential Lord of the rings experience - This was an excellent day trip out of Christchurch. The weather was perfect. Our guide had many interesting stories and behind the scenes information on the lord of the rings. It’s a long drive but Edoras is worth it.

An incredible day! - Though it was a long day, we had the most amazing time on our Journey to Edoras Day Tour. Our guide, Natasha, was so lovely the whole day, with stories of the making of the films. Her knowledge and humour shone through, and our trek up onto the rock culminated in breathtaking views and plenty of time to nerd out.

Truly breath-taking views of God's creation on this day-long tour. - God's creation is truly amazing, taking in so many different landscapes, views, sounds and delights for the eyes and minds along the way. Obviously a bus travels more slowly than cars and so the trip took longer than per Google maps estimates.
Also a bus cannot stop at some places with spectacular views as to be expected. Great to travel all the way to Mount Sunday and to be able to take the walk to the top for a 360degree view.
We didn't have our sandwich lunch until 3pm and it was at a working wool-shed, as the normal, more comfortable venue was booked by for a wedding. Pity.
Natasha was helpful, friendly, drove safely and informative throughout trip.

Left us sitting in front of hotel - we had to chase them down- terrible customer service - don’t waste your time and money
