    The trip is organized well such that we didn't feel rushed. But for 200 dollars worth of travel experience, they are unwilling to drive 5 more minutes to save some hassle for us. (They didn't do anything wrong but hardly the service deserves five stars). The driver explained some things along the way, but throughout the day I didn't see him smile at all (also nothing wrong, but as a guide it just didn't feel that passionate).

  • It was a fun experience!...

    It was a fun experience! I am a big fan of the movies so learning more about LOTR was amazing. The glow worms were so interesting. Highly recommended. Our guides, Mike & Alessandro were friendly and considerate. They knew the right time to share info. Thanks, guys!
