    Unforgettable experience - Ana was an excellent guide who provided us with insightful information about Mt Cook’s history and the South Island landscape. The Hooker Valley track walk was just spectacular. Would recommend the trip to anyone looking to experience the best that NZ has to offer and marvel in its natural beauty.

    Great day out with the Private Wanaka and Arrowtown tour. Wayne was an amazing host, telling us all about the areas we drove through. We stopped at some amazing places for a photo as well as longer stops for lunch, a drink, etc. He even fit in an extra stop as we had a bit of time.
    Would highly recommend any tour with Remarkable Scenic Tours and we look forward to revisiting NZ and going on another tour. Thanks again Wayne!!

    We had the pleasure of enjoying a private wine tour with Susana as our guide. We were able to choose wineries to visit prior to the tour. My wife and I read reviews and chose three wineries that checked the boxes for us and Susana suggested options for the fourth winery. We enjoyed a beautiful lunch at Mora and tastings at four very diverse wineries - all excellent, but with their own distinct personalities. It was a wonderful and fascinating day and receives our highest recommendation.

    Luwis was such a great host. We stopped for a coffee run at another winery before heading to Central Otago. We hit snow and were able to get out in it!! Te Kano wines, a food & wine flight for lunch was feastly cozy and last stop was Scotts Base. Couldnt have asked for a better private tour of the region. Thanks Lewis!
