It was a good tour. We were able to take great photos. Cheeky Kiwi was the operator. They were so helpful. I had 2 separate tours. One from Queenstown to Mt Cook and Mt Cook to Christchurch the following day. We realized there were no AirBnB in Mt Cook so we needed to change our plans to go to Christchurch that same day. Millie was so helpful. She was able to make arrangements between 3 buses to get is there. So shouoit to her, Hanna, and Natalie. The only minus would be a small bus. It was uncomfortable. But I understand since the tour was a small group.
Thanks so much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that Millie, Hanna, and Natalie were able to help coordinate your transfer smoothly between the buses. It’s fantastic to know you were able to enjoy the beautiful sights and capture great photos along the way. We appreciate your understanding about the smaller bus size and your kind words about the team’s support. We hope to welcome you on another Cheeky Kiwi adventure soon!
Grant is an excellent guide.His local knowledge and life experience creates a safe and informative experience .Thank you
The vehicle was comfortable and we were on track with time without at all feeling rushed. We had a lot of stops to iconic places for photo ops, plus some stops for snacks/toilet breaks. The driver was a former teacher and geologist, so I enjoyed hearing a different kind of spiel about New Zealand, and had a lot of fun asking about geology facts too.
Hey there! Thank you for joining us as we explore our back yard! It is great to hear that Grant was able to ensure a comfortable and memorable journey for you! We will pass this onto him!
An excellent tour to Mount Cook and return. Our guide and driver Phil Blackwood was great and went out of his way to ensure that we were able to see as many sites as we could. He is great ambassador for your company
Tour was excellent. Everything was great, flexible and weather was gorgeous. Tour guide was amazing, she definitely deserves a pay raise.
Thank you. we really appreciate you travelling with us. Looks like you had a great day out with one of our amazing guides.
Very good service. Recommended. They made extra stops when people wished for it. Driver was very friendly! Punctual, overall very good service.
Hi there, Thank you for your review. We really love to hear that you've had a good journey & enjoyed our service, and wish you all the very best for your time in Christchurch & beyond. Purchy :)
Drive was ok a little tight with full bus but stops made it doable. Very knowledgeable and informative guide/driver Greg. We stopped and did Hooker Valley hike which we did not expect. Had to rush to do whole thing in 2 hours since it's normally a 3 hour hike.
It was a marvellous road trip from Mt Cook to Christchurch full of interesting information and exited stops along the road.
Pretty view and great way to get from Mt cook to Christchurch. Driver drove a bit fast for our liking ( yes it was a long day for him as he drove both ways in one day). Made a few stops along the. way. Comfortable van. You did not join a round trip group, everyone was one way
Joseph was great. Told many interesting facts. Tried hard to make the long drive interesting and accommodated all the people that needed constant bathroom breaks.
