Beautiful scenery all the way to Glenorchy Pinot Noir from Otago in hotel there was excellent. Very scenic stop at lookout on the way.
Hi Pamela Thank you for taking the time to give us this 5 star review, its great to hear how much you enjoyed the tour and Emma your guide looked after you. Thank you, from the Team at Queenstown Expeditions:)
A great tour experience especially for people who don’t drive. We are senior citizen and my son booked this trip for us to experience roadtrip in Queenstown to Glenorchy and it did not disappoint. The tour was on time and the meeting point was spot on and easy to locate. Well curated and detailed tour too and gave us enough time to walk around in Glenorchy. Would definitely recommend this to everyone. Good job! I unfortunately left my sunnies on the tour van and did not realised it a day before our flight. I gave them a message and they have responded promptly saying that they have found my sunnies and they’re more than happy for us to get it. Lucky enough, my son will be on Queenstown in a couple of months and will be the one to pick up my sunnies.

The trip was great, my friend and me had a great time in Glenorchy, it was a incredible beautiful place, and we both love it. Our tour guide was a very nice lady, she told us many interesting stories and history of Queenstown and Glenorchy. I highly recommend every person who doesn't rent a car just like us to book this tour.

We found this experience to be very knowledgeable both from our driver Emma who was wonderful and legends and tales that were played by headphones. The tour stopped at a beautiful look out on the way and gave us plenty of free time once we arrived at Glenorchy. Our driver was very safe and experienced while driving on these winding roads and very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing scenery. Very chilled environment in Glenorchy. Not a lot to do there but the scenery is spectacular for photos. Driver Dave was full of dad jokes and a great guide. Thank you

Hi Cindy Thank you for your lovely review. Its great to hear how much you enjoyed your tour with us to Glenorchy and Dave looked after you. Thank you, Merry Xmas from the Team at Queenstown Expeditions:)
I was at the pick-up point 10 mins before the tour and I went around looking at vehicles but did not see any with “Queenstown expeditions”. The closest I could find was a Queenstown taxi. My sister who had an NZ number tried calling for me but lines were all busy. I didn’t see any signage or anyone looking around for tour participants. But they insisted the vehicle was there and would not allow to give me a refund. Definitely do not recommend when they are so bad at communication and they don’t give you any idea where at the bus stop or what the vehicle looks like and doesn’t actively look for you.
Hi Karina Thank you for taking the time to give us this 1 star review. As discussed with you via the Viator email system on the day of the tour departing. Our vehicle left at 1.06pm after looking around for you at the pickup location. We could not find you but we managed to locate everyone else that was booked onto the tour. And then because you were denied a refund you have given us a 1 star review. All the very best. From the Team at Queenstown Expeditions:)
It's a worry-free trip. There are small stories to listen along the way, which enriches the experience of the trip. The driver is really kind, thanks a lot.
