    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!

    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.

    Great scenic full day trip to Akaroa. Includes stops on the way there and back. Convenient Hotel pick-up and drop-off. The very knowledgeable and entertaining Scotty was our Driver/Guide.

    Fantastic day from start to finish. Loved the bakery stop to buy breakfast, there were two walks or one hike on offer at Mt Cook. Even though the weather was ordinary I loved driving through the changing landscapes of New Zealand and can’t wait to go back to Mt Cook when the weather is clear!

    It was a great trip, and Pete was a wonderful guide and driver. The views were spectacular and the sheep farm was an interesting stop. Pete had great stories to tell and was very knowledgeable about everything we saw.

    Fabulous wine tour! The driver/guide provided information on the drive to the first winery, Waipara Springs, where we tasted several wines, then had a great lunch. The wine pourer explained the wine processes and answered questions. We also visited George's Road and Torlesse. I was able to discuss the wines we tasted with the owner at George's Road who then offered to let us taste his syrah. Two of us found this one to be the best and we each bought a bottle. Torlesse produces wine in a more French style. All in all, a great day out meeting other wine lovers, and tasting a variety of wines and styles. I would definitely recommend!

    We enjoyed riding the tram and found it a great way to visit the city for the first time. I wish I had booked it our first day.

    We had a fantastic time. What a beautiful family run business! Lovely people and exceptional communication. They were instantly welcoming, it's easy to feel like you've known them for years.
    We can't wait to come back in the warmer month and try their swimming trips. Thanks so much for a memorable experience <3

    Van was comfortable, and drinks with snacks were appreciated. Lunch was ok but not great. Guide was engaging and personal. Selection of stops was nice. They could have been shorter but I know timing was important. A good day in general. Food on train was pretty sad though.

    I only had limited time in Christchurch. Our scheduled day trip to Mt. Sunday (Edoras filming location) was canceled due to extreme weather conditions. Our driver, Cheryl, volunteered to take us the following day even though they hadn't planned to do a tour then. Our tour was amazing! Cheryl is a great and knowledgeable guide and the scenery is stunning. It was an incredible trip and I'm so thankful they worked to make it happen for us. I highly recommend this tour whether you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings or not! Thank you for an awesome trip!

    We took the Arthur’s Pass daytrip with the TranzApline train on the return leg. Clive is a very informative, knowledgable guide. Really liked his relaxed, unhurried style. The lunchpacks were brilliant and they catered for our veggie diet. The minibus was also very comfortable to travel in. I have no hesitation in recommending this travel company. Keep up the good work guys.

    Beautiful trip to see across the South Island. Great views, changing landscape East to West. I could go to the open car to take pictures, and the ride was comfortable.

    It was actually quite fun. Beautiful vista up there. You can see Mt Hutt and the beach. The cafe was quite good with very good prices as was the souvenir shop. We walked the crater rim trail.

    A great tour of Christchurch in a comfortable van with a very guide, Pete. Experiencing punting on the river, the tram and the gondola. A very tasty and relaxing tapas lunch. Great way to hear the history of Christchurch thanks Pete we had a great time.
