非常不错的一日游体验!

是超出我意料之外的行程,只是路途有点点长。但是不影响我游玩的兴致。 最最重要的是司机兼导游的大叔,讲解到位车技超好,是真真的魔戒迷。

Great!

Count on a day of lots of driving hours. It's about 2,5 hours there, and 2,5 hours back again. But our guide Maria told wonderful stories so the time flew by! The location makes it all worthwhile!!!!

A MUST for any LotR fan

The groups are a reasonable size and my guide was knowledgeable and able to answer most of my questions. I can't imagine visiting New Zealand as a Lord of the Rings fan without going to Edoras but it's a majestic slice of scenery regardless of whether or not you're a hardcore fan.
