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！

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

Great LOTR tour
A bit of a last minute decision, to join the tour but so glad we did. Our tour guide, was clearly a fan, and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Lots of fun factoids, and at the locations, the relevant scene from the film was also shown by the guide as he talked about it, which was very useful. They have access to one of the shooting locations that others don't. Also had a fantastic set of costume and props for posing with. Well worth doing if you are a LOTR fan

Not worth the money
Not worth the money. The guide refused to give me some of the gluten free cookies after everyone finish eating. Also no one asked me previously if I was gluten free or not.

Amazing day in middle earth
We had a great time during this tour. The locations were breathtaking, especially at the Paradise region. Our tour guide, Amy, was very friendly and had a deep knowledge of the movies and the area in general. She gave us many interesting insights about the LOTR production that made us appreciate the films even more. Overall, a great experience.

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。
