- Frank T0 contributionsStunning sceneryThis was a long day but we were well taken care of by Anuj, our guide and driver. He was terrific. The mountains and lakes on this tour are magnificent. The walk to the glacier was beautiful. There were quite a few stairs, but we had plenty of time to complete it, taking it slow. Overall, a great way to experience the stunning countryside of New Zealand in a day trip.Written 10 January 2025
- 754claym0 contributionsJust a beautiful trip. Driver was fantastic and provided Whittaker chocolate. Phenomenal views and scenery.Even though Mt Scott was obscured by clouds, the trip was fantastic because of the Lakes and glaciers. The blue water was spectacular.Written 8 January 2025

- julietr3730 contributionsBrilliant day outAn amazing day out! Beautiful scenery and a great experience exploring the mountains. Our guide (Anuj) was considerate, kind and shared so much knowledge and information about the area. It was money and time very well spent!Written 24 December 2024
- sumitb3460 contributionsAmazing tour with awesome guide!!One of the best guided tour!! They have been sending timely communication about the trip that really helped avoiding any confusion.

- dstuckfma0 contributionsWonderful way to travelWe traveled from Greymoth to Christchurch on the dining car . It was a lovely relaxing way to travel . The audio guide was informative and delightful.

- ienjoygoodfood20160 contributionsWORSE THAN AIRCRAFT ECONOMY. CHECK YOUR BUSTRANSPORT WAS TOTALLY UNSUITABLE. THE ALLOCATED BUS WAS A CITY COMMUTER - NOT A 13 HOUR TOUR. HARD NARROW UNCOMFORTABLE seating with NO leg room. VERY NOISY. POOR SUSPENSION WITH A HARD RIDE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AS A TOUR BUS. A small group tour that was spoilt by appalling transport. Driver/Guide provided hardly any information or commentary and relied on local radio. Worst of the four tours we took. BUT - the tour content was very good and we enjoyed clear skies with clear views of Mt Cook and the lakes.Written 24 November 2024
- HeavyEd0 contributionsFantastic day with fantastic guideExcept for how long the day was a perfect trip. Our driver/guide was terrific: had little snacks and water, coins when needed for toilets, good commentary on places we visited, recommendations for things to see and do. The tour itself hit all the high points for mid South Island.Written 21 November 2024

- thub20180 contributionsGreat tour for solo travelerGood valued tour. I got picked up at the hotel then went on the Tranz Alpine train and experienced hours of bliss: magnificent scenery (mountain high, valley deep, green farm land with the cute sheep, lamb, cow ...). Then our tour guide Anuj picked us up again at Arthur Pass Train station and took us to a little restful town for lunch, the foods are beautiful too, encountered with the cheeky Kea. Many stops along the way with dramatic landscape and Anuj commentary to help us appreciate the places even more. Anuj is a master of organisation, he had everything arranged for us to enjoy things along the way just like we would have done in a private car trip. He looks after every individual on tour. Highly recommended. One personal note, the open carriage on the Tranz Alpine train is not worth it in my opinion, it is too windy and fast moving for decent photography, I witnessed and encountered some examples of worst humanity that I can't unsee. This do spoil my perfect train trip, a little.Written 19 October 2024

What an amazing experience.
Anuj our driver was so informative and so friendly providing snacks and drinks for us and keeping us up to date with all of his knowledge about the local area.
Swimming with the Hector's dolphins was unreal and the alpacas were so cute and cuddly. Definitely recommend this tour.
