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

추천이요

글래노키부터 파라다이스까지 촬영지 위주로 멈추는데, 유명한 뷰포인트와 피크닉(잠시 쿠키먹는) 글래노키 호숫가 휴식도 있습니다. 마지막 포인트에서 코스튬 사진을 찍는데 여러 캐릭터가 준비되어있어요! 6~7명의 소수 팀이라 좋았고 오후 투어를 갔는데 다른 도시처럼 다른 투어팀이랑 겹쳐서 기다린다던가 그런 것 없이 우리끼리 조용히 다녔습니다. 전후로 비오는 날씨인데 딱 투어날에 날이 너무 좋아서 더 예뻤어요. 북미에서 할인 된 가격으로 구매해서, 가격 대비 적당했다고 느꼈습니다.

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.
