With Ray as a guide and driver, it can only be a wonderful tour. We are a family of five, and Ray made the children comfortable and give comments that were fun for them too. Two of our children are not very keen to take a bus for many hours, but with all those beautiful landscapes, morning tea stop, stops... More

Ray, the guide at Fiordland Tours, is not only knowledgeable but also trustworthy in running his small business. We found out that the company did not cancel our tour and picked us up as promised when we booked. Ray has a good nature, knows the area as a local, and was dependable. We would have been very, very disappointed after... More

We had a fabulous day and getting there was just as awesome as our actual time at Milford Sound. Ray was a fabulous host/ driver/tour guide. He gave a great commentary during the drive to Milford about the history of the places we went past, which kept the drive very interesting. The tour was completely unhurried allowing us time to...

From the moment we called Ray and Leonie we knew we were in for a fabulous tour. We were 4 friends in our group and Ray really went the extra mile to make our day memorable. He was entertaining, humorous and very knowledgable about the area. The tour was not rushed and there were plenty of photo stops and ample... More

We were very lucky with the weather (having booked the trip well in advance) and thoroughly enjoyed our day out at the beginning of March with Ray who was interesting and knowledgeable - everything described in the previous review in fact. We really felt looked after, going to places off the beaten track such as Gunn's Camp and not bumping... More

I highly recommend this wonderful small tour, way more personable then the big tour companies. Also as we travelled in a small coach we stopped at places the big busses had no access to. It was a beautiful sunny day, so did the helicopter ride in Milford Sound too, it was the best thing we have ever done. The most... More

We booked this as we wanted a small tour without the sheep herding feel. We were not disappointed. Ray was a pool of knowledge and we went to places we would not have found on our and were bigger coaches could not have gone! It was an amazing day. More
