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

Middle Earth Experience

Fantastic journey from beginning to end. Joel is an amazing guide with lots of in-depth knowledge and full of fun facts. We enjoyed a hot cuppa tea and slice nestled in amongst the stunning mountains and lake surroundings of Glenorchy. You can see why Paradise was used in soo many movies just for the sheer beauty there. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a fan of LOTR or not. The Scenery is magical and my hubby enjoyed riding shotgun opening and closing the gates. 👍🏾

Great experience

Our ‘Italian Sméagol’ was a wonderful tour guide with lots of anecdotes and information about the areas we were driving through. The scenery was spectacular and lots of photo opportunities. Loved the dress up and movie still-location comparisons.
