        We were well taken care of
        The tour was absolutely fantastic in itself, with a well planned itinerary and magnificent views. But what really made the tour amazing was our guide, Anuj, who was extremely considerate and helpful. From ensuring we had water bottles and snacks after trekking, to providing detailed commentary and helpful tips for the treks, to helping me find a Kea, he was always went above and beyond in ensuring our comfort! Even when the weather turned rainier and windier than we expected, he was well prepared with umbrellas and ponchos! Just amazing.

        Definitely worth the trip!
        A grrat day out with adequate time for investigating at various lookouts and walking tracks. Interesting commentary and friendly bus environment. The highlight of our NZ trip for my partner.

        Excellent trip, a must see.
        Our driver was very pleasant, knowledgeable and anticipated all our needs. We learned about the economy, terrain and history of New Zealand. Walks and activities after the train ride were well thought out and really interesting. Best paid trip I went on in my 16 day trip to New Zealand!

        Icebergs! Wow!
        Anij was a great driver and so full of information. Very kind and thoughtful when we got to Tasman Glacier in the cold and wet. The scenery was spectacular all the way and stops well timed for me. Lake Tekapo was stunning. A fantastic day and well worth it!!

        Great day out.
        My wife and I had a great day out. Weather forecast was miserable but decided to book night before and go anyway. It turned out to be a beautiful day weather wise. Anuj was a wonderful guide exactly as previous reviews have said. Good commentary, fabulous scenery and nice little touches with on board snacks. I highly recommend this day trip.

        Excellent service
        We had an amazing experience with our tour package, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide and chauffeur, Anuj(hope i got it right). He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the places we visited, sharing interesting facts and stories that made the trip even more enjoyable. The drive was smooth, and everything ran exactly on time, just as predicted. Anuj was also very generous, providing us with snacks and water throughout the journey, and he made sure that everyone was comfortable and looked after. The trip was well-organized from start to finish, and it was truly an incredible experience. Highly recommend this tour.

        Really scenic trip
        Very friendly staff did all they could do to make everyone feel welcome. Awesome scenery. Only thing that let the day down was a very long wait for the meal service to be ready on the way back

        A really fun day out!
        This was a really excellent day trip and a lovely way to see a gorgeous part of the world! Our guide was prepared for everything with so much attention to detail- abundant snacks, ponchos, umbrellas, and loads of local knowledge. The stops were all really beautiful and worthwhile, and the day was well timed. I really appreciated the correspondence before the trip reminding us of what to bring- my one regret is that we didn’t bring headphones to use on the train so that we could listen to the commentary, and it would have been helpful if this had been included in the email advising us what to bring. An absolutely great day out and would highly recommend it to anyone! Thanks to our lovely guide, Anuj, for taking such good care of us!

        Excellent tour to see the highlights of the Mt Cook region. Highly recommended!
        An excellent and well-organised day tour to see the many highlights in the Mt Cook region. A good amount of time at each stop allowing you to visit the sites and take photos. Stunning views of Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, Hooker Valley and Tasman Glacier against the winter backdrop. A long day trip but didn’t feel long as the scenery is so beautiful and engaging. A really lovely tour guide who is very attentive to travellers’ needs. Overall highly recommended. Thank you very much!

      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.

      Dear Kristy M, Thank you for the recommendation. It was absolutely wonderful to see that you had such an excellent experience with us.
