If we drove to the site on our own it would not have been as enjoyable and we would not realized what we were looking at. Very glad we took the tour. It was a really long day, 9 1/2 hours but worth it. The lunch was awesome including the gluten free option. To get to the site up Mt Sunday was a fairly steep trail but doable.

Maria was a wonderful driver and guide. The van was very comfortable, the drive was broken up by a delightful stop for a snack and relief. The lunch provided was magnificent. A great tour..even though I am not a LOTR fan…I loved it!
