The tour started in the warm Christchurch in the windy, rainy Rohan Valley. After Edoras, even in bad weather, it was worth an experience through rivers and streams. Our guide struggled through and made the experience unique to the top of the mountain accounts but Dan made up for it through the stories and background knowledge. Many thanks to Maria our guide for this day

Excellent day out
A fantastic day out. Maria was our guide and she was knowledgeable, funny, friendly and a safe driver. We had beautiful weather and it was such a buzz to be on top of Mt Sunday imagining Edoras where the views are spectacular. We had a lovely lunch in a lodge on the way back and saw lots of short videos about LOTR. One of the best days out I had in NZ and Maria was a big part of that...thanks Maria!
