“Siamo rimasti molto delusi del tour. Avevamo alte aspettative, soprattutto perché pensavamo che usando mezzi 4x4 ci avrebbero portato in luoghi remoti e poco accessibili. Al mattino abbiamo fatto la zona di Glenorchy che noi conosciamo molto bene. Purtroppo questa parte è stata la più scadente. Abbiamo fatto poche soste, saltandone una molto importante per un fan del Signore degli Anelli: la foresta di Lothorien e dove si sviluppa anche la scena della morte di Boromir. Inoltre la guida era poco preparata sul Signore degli Anelli, cosa essenziale per questo tour, ma anche sul lago in generale. Approssimativa e scadente. Nel pomeriggio le guide e il giro è stato migliore.…”
