It's hard to know just what to say about Richard and Heather. We had an absolutely fantastic time with them over our 6 day tour. It was so nice to have a "local" doing the driving on the south island and their knowledge of the area, the wildlife, the communities, etc truly enhanced our trip. Richard was super easy to work with and very flexible with our group and our plans. We felt spoiled having both Heather and Richard with us every day, and learned so much from each of them! HIGHLY recommend them if looking for a great tour of the south island! Thank you, Richard and Heather, for truly making our trip wonderful!…

Richard and Heather are absolutely brilliant! They are incredibly polite, punctual, knowledgeable, flexible, and friendly. It would be impossible to overstate the value they added to our overall experience during our trip. They worked with our planned itenerary and added in thoughtful advice and even included some stops only locals would know which added another layer of enjoyment. They go above and beyond in every way possible. If you are considering booking a private tour guide for your trip to NZ, you need not look any further.…

Four of us when on a road trip with Richard and he was nothing but amazing. We flew over from singapore to shoot the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand in Christchurch. The bride and groom along with me ( photographer) and makeup artist. Richard knew where to go and the routes to take easily. He made sure that our trip didn't end by just taking wedding photos and even brought us to his personal family farm to have a tour of the animals. His jokes were hilarious and entertaining yet always maintaining professionalism. We ended the trip with having dinner back in the city with his Wife and Daughter - started out as strangers but ended up as friends. Thumbs up! …
