This tour was a very last minute decision and it completely outdid my expectations. A lovely tour guide and companions added to the vast and stunning scenery. The hike up is quite a challenge but worth it for the exceptional views. As a Lord of the Rings fan it exceeded my expectations. Couldn’t recommend this enough.

Tour was fantastic. Enjoyed the movie shooting stories, the hike and the photo opportunity. Our guide Nick was fabulous!! Must do if you are a Lord of the Rings fan.

A surreal experience to be in that majestic spot where so much of Lord of the Rings was filmed. I'll forever remember what it was like to be there. The film during the ride was also very informative.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful scenery and Cheryl was beyond excellent as our guide. Despite the weather and other setbacks she was brilliant. We cant congratulate her enough.

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!
