对粉丝来说不容错过的体验,希望时间再长点

如果听得懂英语,这个半日游非常适合LOTR粉丝参加,司机兼导游Dan从开始出发到结束一直在介绍相关信息,最喜欢的是cosplay阶段,而且他们车上真的带了很多复刻道具,各种斗篷,阿拉贡的剑,Sting,还有精灵剑。就是可惜时间不够长…而且当天天气好,格林诺奇真的美得和画一样。

Excellent tour

如果你懂得英文的话,推荐这个行程!从预订开始他们就很热情的联络我确认出行时间,Kate和Joel都很nice!我参加的下午活动是Joel带队的,他非常风趣幽默并且知识丰富。他会告诉我们沿途的特色本地植物,每一个拍摄场景的趣闻,还携带了电影对比图片,准备了丰盛的下午茶,另外还有道具扮演指环王的巫师、精灵和武士哦!这个行程一路的美景也棒极了!很感谢Pure Glenorchy团队!

From Behind the Scenes LOTR Film Location Tour - Half Day in Middle Earth & Glenorchy

Ping you legend!!! Thanks for the 5 star review mate. We like to have a bit of fun whilst we are onsite at the filming locations in Mt Aspiring National park. I hope you enjoyed the rest of NZ Kind Regards Joel

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. 👍🏾

A must try when you visit New Zeland

퀸즈타운에 여행을 하게 되면 놓쳐서는 안될 투어입니다. 영화 반지의 제왕 팬이라면 더욱 참여하면 좋지만 Glenorchy 지역이 퀸즈타운 주변에서 가장 아름다운 풍경이기 때문입니다. 시간도 4시간 30분정도여서 같은날 다른 곳에 일정하기에도 적합합니다. 반지의 제왕 영화 실제장면과 촬영된 장면을 함께 같이 설명해줍니다. 몇몇 장소는 자차가 있더라도 방문할 수 없는 곳이고 오직 Pure Glenorchy 여행사를 통해서 갈수 있기 때문에 이 여행에 참여하는것을 추천합니다. 그리고 촬영장소에서 직접 영화 분장소품을 입고 사진을 찍을 수 있습니다. 여행을 마치고 소지품을 버스에 두고 내렸는데 여행사에서 바로 바로 연락을 해주셨고 전달 받았습니다. 여행에 참여한 모든 여행객이 즐거운 시간을 보냈고 만족했습니다. 남섬에 여행하면 꼭 참여해볼만한 투어입니다. This tour is not only for Lord of The Rings fan but also Great sceneries on the way to Glenorchy. I'm a huge fan of LOTR and Hobbit and It was absolutely dreams come true. If you visit Queenstown, It is a must things to try. The tour is half day about 4-4.5 hours in the morning or in the afternoon so can plan the last of the day for another activity. The reason why need to join the tour is The operator can only access some film locations so It will be even worth if you rent a car. The scenery of Glenorchy was exceptional. The tour guide explained well where the movie was filmed. And The highlight was you will have opportunity to wear the costumes at the actual film locations. They provide you tea and some snacks as well. Me and everyone at the tour all enjoyed and had great time. I highly recommend this tour. I also appreciate Pure Glenorchy(tour operator) that I left my beanie in the tour bus and they kindly give it back to me. They responded me quickly on time and I'm very glad their help.

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.
