Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had the most epic experience on the Queenstown to Milford Sound tour. Our driver/guide Paul was incredible, he made the entire journey informative and so entertaining. He wanted everyone on the trip to have the best day, everyone was so well looked after. The coach was super comfy and we got to stop at all the best spots along the way. We decided to take a scenic flight back to Queenstown and Paul sorted all that for us while we were on the cruise around the Fiord. This tour is a must do for everyone. Such an incredible experience and we had such a great day with greatsightsnz

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this amazing review of your time travelling to Milford Sound with us. It is awesome to hear that Paulie made the trip entertaining for you! A great option to take the scenic fly back option too, it makes for an incredible day out.

This particular tour gives one a quick orientation of Auckland City. There are a few stops taken which make it interesting. A stop at the Parnell Village was wonderful. Added the Kelly Tarton’s Aquarium visit to complement this tour. The only reason why I gave 4 stars as opposed to 5 stars was because the driver/guide for this tour was not that great compared to the other Greatsights tour driver/guides. Certainly worth considering.

The Bay of Islands Full Day Tour from Auckland was an outstanding one. The driver/guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It was a long bus ride to the Bay of Islands from Auckland with one stop for break in between. Upon reaching Paihia, I took the optional walking tour of Waitangi treaty grounds as well which was fabulous. Later on took the boat cruise of the Bay of Islands, which was extremely relaxing. Saw a few dolphins on this particular tour and enjoyed the natural scenic beauty of the Bay of Islands. Boxed lunch was provided as a compliment on the boat. After the boat trip, returned back to Auckland in the bus with one rest stop in between. It was a long day but certainly worth every moment of time.

We’ve been traveling for 42 days now coming from Canada visiting several countries arriving in Auckland NZ, on December 30. We have never in our travels thus far experienced anyone so rude and confrontational as the Intercity/Great Sights bus driver named Kevin. From the start of our pickup service in Greymouth NZ until our finish (drop off and quarter mile walk to our hotel) in Franz Josef NZ, Kevin demonstrated a sour attitude towards us and other passengers. In handling our luggage, he just tossed it into the luggage compartment of the bus with total disregard for the fragile contents inside. When we stopped for our one hour stop, he was not helpful in answering questions of passengers other than to say be back at this bus by 3:08 PM. On arrival in Franz Josef, Kevin did not ask the passengers for their hotel drop off locations. We stayed on the bus until he dropped most of the passengers off at which time we asked him when would we be dropped off at the Franz Josef Glasier Hotel. He said “I am not turning this bus around just to drop you off. You will have to get off here and walk to your hotel” and pointed out a blue sign in the trees about a quarter mile down the road. So, he unloaded our two big suitcases and a carryon roller case along with our knapsack and my elderly wife and I made our way on foot to our hotel. Thankfully our hotel staff assisted us to our room with our luggage. Our first terrible and troubling experience in our 42 day trip thus far. This is our first experience with InterCity/Great Sights and we really hope you employ better staff than the person named Kevin who performed your services for us today. Please feel free to contact us should you wish to speak directly with us.

This tour was simply outstanding. Departed from Auckland and with one test stop in between reached Paihia, which is a long drive. Took a guided walking tour of Waitangi treaty grounds, which was amazing. Later came back to the port in Paihia, and took the boat cruise to see the Hole in the Rock. Saw a few dolphins en route, but the scenery was absolutely spectacular. Included boxed lunch was provided on the boat, which was more than adequate. After the cruise, took the bus back to Auckland with one rest stop in between. The driver/guide was awesome, knowledgeable and courteous. It was a long day but worth every moment of time spent. Would certainly very highly recommend same to any tourist in Auckland.

This one way trip is worth it as it includes a stopover for an included guided tour of the Waitomo Caves. Boxed lunch is included as well, making it convenient. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable, informative and friendly.

I would say that this was a waste of our money and time. First, you get up at 6:30 am and then for a 3-hour ride to the Waitomo Caves. The caves are wonderful but when we got to the caves, it was like we were cattle, we only were in the caves including seeing the glow worms for 45 mins. Then its back to the bus, if you miss your bus then you are left there. Then we drive for another three hours to the Agrodome which was fine but kinda boring. Then another drive to Rortura to see the Maori Dance and experience the thermal pools. That was a great experience but again felt rushed. The bus driver was great. Just the overall trip that had more than 9 hours of driving total vs the 3 hours of actually doing stuff. Next time, we will get a car.

My husband and I were really looking forward to this tour. We called to arrange a hotel pick-up with the tour company. They confirmed the pick-up and told us we would be looking for a "Great Sites" tour bus. The morning of the tour we received a call saying we had to walk to another hotel for pick-up. We rushed over to the new hotel and were outside before the pick up time. My husband went into the hotel lobby and talked to the front desk agent. The front desk agent said he was told we had a pick-up. We waited....and waited. My husband went back in and called the tour company. The tour company said they sent a cab for us but we weren't there. We were in front of a hotel.... Cabs came and went. We were looking for a bus. The tour bus had not left the terminal yet so we hopped in a cab and went to the bus terminal (which took 15 minutes). Once there we were told the bus had left without us and we should have known our ride was a cab. The tour company had no availability to put us on a tour the following day (the only day we were in Auckland) so they put us on a city bus to see Hobbiton. We spent 3 1/2 hours (each way) on a city bus (which is another story)and were able to tour Hobbiton (which is an amazing site). We missed the Waitomo Caves and all the guide commentary that we paid for. The tour company said they would reimburse us for the difference in cost of the tickets....We didn't receive a refund.
This was extremely upsetting. When we tried to explain our situation, the older woman behind the counter brushed us off. There certainly was a lack of customer service. The tour company dropped the ball. There was no apology for our inconvenience, or for missing our tour, and to further add insult to injury no refund.
I would not not deal with "Great Sites" or City Link buses again and certainly wouldn't recommend them.....

Tour Company: Great Sights
Tour Guide: Damian
Duration: 12 Hours
7:00 am - 7:30 am pick-up time at your hotel (if near Sky Tower)
8:00 am - 10:30 am Travel Time from Auckland to Hobbiton (Traffic may be unpredictable)
10:45 am - 1:00 pm Hobbiton tour
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Travel Time to Glowworm Caves
2:45 pm - 4:00 pm Glowworm Caves Tour
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Travel to Gift Store (mid-way back to Auckland)
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm Travel to Auckland (Traffic is unpredictable/rush hour time)
First off, dress comfortably. Walking shoes and a light jacket is recommended. There's a lot of walking involved, but at a very mild pace. A bottle of water and cookies are provided to each guest. My tour group was a much larger group (~47 people). The coach was super comfortable, air conditioned with large windows appropriate for photography. There are 4-5 convenient bathroom breaks: 1) Arriving at Hobbiton gift store (busiest segment); 2) At end of Hobbiton tour, before/after lunch; 3) Arriving/Departing at Waitomo Caves; and 4) at the midway return to Auckland at the Gift Shop.
Hobbiton was a spectacular visit. Upon arrival, you are transitioned over to an official Hobbiton tour guide. In this case it was Emily. She was a fantastic guide. The weather that day was overcast and in the lower temperatures, but it was still very comfortable. You are in a bit of a competition for photos with the other groups ahead of you. So, please be patient. The best advice from Damian was to save your battery life for mobile phone photographers to when you get to Hobbiton. (Or bring a portable mobile charger like I did!) You will want to take a ton of photos. The scenery and energy of the movie set is breathtaking. This tour is meant for any fan of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. There will be one Hobbit Hole where folks will get to enter and pose for a photo. Have fun with that one. Your group will head to the Green Dragon Inn at the end of the tour where you get to taste a selection of 3 beers, and one non-alcoholic option. All tasty! Enjoy the drink by the fire. Afterwards, you will move into another structure where you will dine on a delicious buffet! The lunch buffet was better than I imagined! There was an assortment of hot dishes (chicken legs, meatballs, fish cakes, salads, roasted potatoes, fresh cut tenderloin beef, roasted vegetables, steamed rice) and a variety of desserts. (The desserts were delicately draped & covered to prevent bugs from landing on them.) You'll have about 30 minutes to dine quickly and you'll get to visit a gift store at the exit before heading out. For those folks who love to buy souvenirs, be very quick in your selection(s). It's a standard gift/memorabilia shop with various Lord of the Rings branded merchandise. Most likely you will have only 10 minutes max to do your shopping and purchase.
The Waitomo Glowworm Caves happens next during the afternoon portion. This experience was equally amazing especially if you've never seen glowworms before. The caves are a bit damp and you will feel an occasional drip from the collecting underground moisture. Be wary of steep staircases and a darkened path. The entrance has some low hanging stalactites that you have to maneuver under. The golden rule is silence through a portion of this tour. It will be explained during the tour. After walking through some of the caverns and seeing the intricate limestone structures, you will proceed to a boat and slowly go through the best part of the tour. Please note: photography and video recording of ANY KIND is not allowed during the tour of the caves because of the risk of "turning off" the glowworms. The Maori people who manage this tour will take your photo at the beginning of the tour and photoshop you into various cave settings. The cost of this product is $45 NZD which includes a booklet, digital download of the photos of you, and 4 printed photos. Yes, I just went ahead and bought it out of convenience sake.
Finally, I want to express my thanks and gratitude to our tour guide, Damian. He was a phenomenal guide and historian, sharing insights of New Zealand's culture & history. I appreciated his knowledgeable viewpoints and ability to keep us all on track with the schedule. You can tell that he loves what he does, and brings a deeper meaning to what a New Zealand native truly is. There were some inspiring moments and some thought-provoking stories. Damian made this experience memorable!

Hi, Just evaluating choosing between starting Mount cook trip from Christchurch or Queenstown, both ending in Queenstown? Im flexible in starting point as arriving from Auckland to either QTN or CHC. Could you please let know if 1.5 hours is enough to view Mount cook and also have lunch? The Christchurch to Mount cook to Queenstown tour only gives 1.5 hours at Cook, but Queenstown to Mt Cook tour gives 2 hours. Is the Christchurch to Mount cook stretch more scenic, hence is it more appealing to get 2 different sceneries on the way?

Yes - starting point Christchurch will give you better scenery. On the way back from Queenstown to Christchurch you will see Lake Tekapo anayway.

Hi Bellabooz, thanks for your enquiry. Our Mount Cook tours depart Queenstown at 7.45am and arrive in Mount Cook Village at 12.30pm. We have three options - a return tour from Queenstown, a one-way tour stopping in Mount Cook, or continuing on to Christchurch.
If you are returning to Queenstown you will have about 2 hours to explore the village, enjoy the view and have lunch before the coach departs at 2.25pm (arriving back in Queenstown at 6.30pm). If you are continuing to Christchurch you will only have until 1.45pm at Mount Cook before the tour departs, arriving in Christchurch at 7.10pm). And of course if you travel one way, you can explore at your leisure.
You can read more details about these tours and book online on our website. I hope this helps!
