We got to do a lot in one day. It was totally worth the cost. The guide was nice and helpful. There were lots of snacks onboard.
Thanks for a great day! We had perfect weather and a knowledgeable and helpful guide who provided everything we needed for a great day. It was helpful to have a few options at each stop outlined for us - a great balance of flexibility, choice and guidance of how to make the most of each location along the way. I recommend this very highly as a convenient way to see these beautiful places with minimum hassle.
Kia Ora anthead978, Thank you for the high recommendation. We are delighted that you enjoyed your day and found our guide's knowledge and flexible itinerary helpful. Providing a convenient, stress-free experience is always our top priority. We look forward to seeing you again!
It was amazing!!!! The weather was perfect, the food was great , and the schedule was so good. I’d like to book tours again!
Kia Ora, Wow, thank you so much for the amazing review. We are absolutely thrilled that everything hit the mark for you—from the perfect weather and great food to the schedule. We can't wait to welcome you back for another tour soon!
Great tour, our guide and driver Anuj was great the hikes were great and frequent stops along the way
Kia Ora Ateeq_U , Thanks for sharing your experience! We're so glad you loved the hikes and the frequent stops. I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to guide—he truly loves showcasing the area. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again!
This was the perfect excursion to see many of the famous sights in the south island! The group was rather small which made the experience more intimate and personal. Our guide was very knowledged and clear with instructions and speech. Amazing views for the whole car ride. Definitely would recommend anyone to join this trip!
It is a 13 hour bus trip but definitely worth it. The bus driver was very informative and shared his knowledge. He made sure we had adequate rest breaks and allowed enough time for walking treks. Would definitely recommend 👌
Fantastic day out, Anuj was a wonderful and friendly, patient guide. Wonderful experience. Thanks so much!
Urooj was a fantastic driver—very friendly and accommodative and very knowledgeable. The scenery is spectacular on a clear day. The short hikes are very doable, though one is a bit steep.
The scenery was gorgeous, the tour guide was knowledgeable and everything ran on time, however... the flow of things could have been thought out a bit better by the company. We went from having lunch in a place that was so full there was no plates left and there was a distinct lack of options for any of us with food restrictions.... then to another stop where for anyone with limited mobility (I'm talking chronic pain issues, not wheelchair bound) was basically limited to the bus area. A longer time frame at the heritage hotel, would have still allowed others to hike and also allowed the driver a better rest time. While we had a 13.5hr day I'm assuming our driver would have been closer to 15hrs.
Kia Ora, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the scenery and our guide's knowledge. The heritage hotel in Mount Cook National Park is in a remote alpine village, which unfortunately means catering options can be limited, especially for dietary requirements. We are working with them to improve this. The walk to Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier is the main highlight of the day. However, we understand it is not suitable for everyone. If guests let us know about mobility or pain limits, our guides can always recommend alternative options nearby. We are sorry if this wasn't made clear to you. Lastly, please rest assured our driver did not work 15 hours. Our yard is very close to the first pickup, meaning the entire day concluded within the 13.5 hours stated in the tour description, fully complying with safety rest rules.Thank you for helping us improve, and we wish you all the best.
Amazing day. Tour guide was great. Lots of information. So many snacks! And very friendly. Views were spectacular.
