This was an absolutely...

This was an absolutely fantastic day. Our tour guide Natasha was an absolute legend and had fantastic commentary, stories, facts, was passionate about the area and made sure we were all looked after. It was great to see the filming location of Edoras and have all the cool facts explained to us by Natasha. I also felt accomplished for being able to climb Mount Sunday! Make sure if it's a sunny day you take sunscreen and a hat because there is not one piece of shade. The bus does provide some basic sun cream and hand sanitiser. Natasha laid out the day so we understood what time everything was, where the toilet breaks were, etc. Which was very appreciated. Cannot recommend this experience enough!

Great views and history

I had an absolute blast on this tour with Nick. He is very knowledgeable about LotR and the Canterbury region, along with being a very considerate guide. Nick had a few props to play with (swords, axe, and Rohan flag) which made it even better. One thing to note is that the Edoras set has been demolished, so you will be visiting where the set was built. if you aren't a LotR fan and want to see some scenic views around Christchurch without having to drive, I still highly recommend this tour. There were a few stops made at different photogenic areas, and even the view from the vehicle was amazing (mountains popping up in the background, Lake Camp etc). - Copied from my review on Viator

Wonderful scenery

Published on Feb, 2025

I went this trip booked with the cruise ship I was on. Wonderful scenery through to Middle Earth and to where Edoras was built on the hill for King Theoden. Amazing to think the parts of Lord of the Rings was filmed there. Beautiful scenery with clear river running through. Stunning.

Awesomely enjoyable

Very enjoyable and exciting. In particular with Nick, our guide, a very caring person with deep knowledge on everything pertaining to the "Lord of The Rings" movies, its making, its crew and casts and Peter Jackson
