This tour was incredible! As a Lord of the Rings fan it was a fantastic experience! The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. While it was a long drive they stopped as needed and played behind the scenes videos etc. to keep us entertained for the drive. Once at Mt. Sunday we were driven on to the mountain and did a small walk up to the top for an incredible photo opportunity and time to explore. However, be prepared for strong winds while on top.

We took the Journey to Edoras tour on April 1. The weather was clear and still, our guide was friendly, and we had beautiful views of Mount Sunday and the surrounding valley. Our guide had pictures of what it looked like when they filmed, and you could be forgiven for expecting a troop of horsemen to come across the plain. Lots of time for pictures on the hill, and a nice lunch, too. We even met a herd of curious goats along the way. Recommended for both LOTR fans and anyone who wants to see some stunning scenery.

The guide was very nice, 4-wheels drive car was great, the view in the mountains was wonderful

The Edoras is hard to drive to so a tour is definitely a better option. When I booked the tour I had the doubt if it might be worth it but after the whole day I’d say it is definitely worthwhile. Very helpful and friendly driver and tour guide contributed to a very organised day trip.

Good trip. Interesting conversations.

This was a brilliant tour, well worth the money and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is staying in Christchurch. The tour guide was informative and entertaining, including everyone in the tour and full of interesting information. He had lots of information about the places we were seeing as well as New Zealand as a whole. To be able to stand on top of Mt Sunday, especially with the snow creating a winter wonderland effect, was excellent. This tour made my holiday and I would definitely look at similar tours in the future.

This 1-day tour is simply amazing. It does not matter if you are not a fan of Lord of the Rings. The trip in the 4x4 car is nice, as well as the informative and joking talk of the tour guide I am sorry I can't remember his name. The timing of the tour is also worth as you can't feel anyone is hurrying up and you also can't feel you are slacking around and wasting your time. The lunch is provided at a hostal in the surrounding area of Mount Sunday and involves a sandwich, champagne and a biscuit. Personally, I did not drink champagne so I would vote to have Neo Zealand wine as a B option -they also provide orange juice. Not mentioning the landscape which is simply breathtaking. I would certainly take this tour once again.

Great trip with amazing scenery. Walk to the top of Mount Sunday, particularly if going up left hand side is rather steep though._br/_ Fabulous views from the top.

This would have been better if it wasn't raining, but our guide Phil made the best of the day. He was completely honest with us about the weather which I appreciated, but he made everything fun anyway. He had a lot of knowledge about the site and was fun to be around.

This was a great experience! Our tour guide Hammond was fantastic and I don't want to spoil the surprise but he has a certain connection to the Lord of the Rings movies pretty awesome if you ask me. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is a Lord of the Rings fan!

This was a very enjoyable tour. The view from Mt. Sunday was awe inspiring. We were surrounded by several peaks just like in the movie Lord of the Rings. The wind was blowing so hard that at times it was difficult to stand and the temperature was cool. Still we would go again if we returned to New Zealand. The tour that took us to Mt. Sunday was able to drive up to the base of the peak bypassing other tourists on foot that had to navigate around mountain streams. We were told we were with the only tour company able to drive up to the base of Mt. Sunday. Tourists with other tour companies had to hike to the base of the mountain.

We had a wonderful day out. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the making of the films and we watched some clips of filming on the mini-bus on our way to Mount Sunday. Can highly recommend this to Lord of the Rings fans, but even for non-fans, the scenery, local history and fun atmosphere are well worth going for.

The journey started with a pick up from our hotel by a very friendly guide from Cornwell in England. On the long journey to the mountains we were fully briefed and entertained. At the Edoras location swords were drawn and most members of our group climbed up high. Lunch with bubbly and finally the entertaining ride back to our hotel. A really great day with a great group of people.

I loved it. I am a huge fan of LOTR and The Hobbit and I loved this tour. But even if one is not a movie fan, the scenery is still beautiful and breathtaking. I was very excited to take some pictures with swords and axes, but at the time of our tour they were not available, so I was a little upset. Other than that, I had a great time!
