Our guide Natasha was a pleasant responsible enthusiastic professional guide. She talked a lot about the landscape and natural scenery as well as stories on how the film the Lord of the Rings was produced in Mt Sunday. She took us through the scenic mountains and valleys with her excellent driving skills. The trip is highly recommended.
