    I couldn't recommend this tour and tour operator more. Everything was well-planned and well-communicated from the moment we met our guide on the bus. I so wish I could remember the name of our guide, but I misplaced my note - but she was wonderful. She did a great job of making the trip there and back interesting and comfortable - two things I learned were very important on subsequent tours I took!

    Our guide had a real passion for the area and it was apparent in the way she talked about the surrounding landscape and wildlife. We had just enough stops along the way to capture some of the amazing scenery on the way to Milford Sound.

    Milford Sound itself was breathtaking. There was almost so much to be in awe of, that it was overwhelming. I went on a rainy day, which was actually quite amazing, because it meant more impromptu waterfalls spilling over the mountains surrounding the sound. The boat captain was also quite helpful. Sharing plenty of interesting facts about the formation of the Sound while we took in all of its beauty.

    I couldn't recommend this tour more - both the tour company and the tour itself! Thank you Altitude Tours for the experience of a lifetime!

    Our pilot was fantastic and pointed out just about every feature we flew over while also allowing us to enjoy the views. The cruise was beautiful as well. Weather delayed our trip two days in a row but the staff was super helpful in helping us reschedule and even helped us store our bags so we could leave Queenstown after our tour. This is a great company and a must do activity when you’re in Queenstown!

    Do yourself a favor and do this tour. Sinchan, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, geology, and nature of the region. He promoted the flight home, and I think everyone who did it believed it to be preferable to a 4 hour ride back in the dark. The scenic flight was incredible.

    Amazing scenery with plenty of photo opportunities in the best spots as selected by James our driver who was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
    Plenty of toilet breaks along the way with coffee available en route so need to go into coffee withdrawal from an early morning start.😉
    July was really cold out on the water so wrap up well when going outside, otherwise the boats have really good heating with tea and coffee available along with a microwave for heating your own food.
    The flight back was the perfect way to top off an awesome day, not only cutting the trip back from 4 hours by van to 40 mins by plane, but also seeing the southern Alps along with the high level lakes was perfect.
    If I was doing the trip again I wouldn't change a thing as the drive out was awesome through the valleys and Homer Tunnel with Keas in the carpark, the boat trip comfortable and the flight back over the Alps offering great views and massive time savings 👌

    The guide was awesome and shared tons of interesting factoids about the various locations. The route also meant that there was many opportunities to snap great pics too. Finally, although the weather meant that certain activities were out of bounds, the guide made great effort to provide us with safe alternatives. The guide was also personable and put in genuine effort to ensure that the entire journey was comfortable and memorable.

    Nice tour to transfer from Queenstown to Christchurch!! The ultimate alpine experience was cancelled and refunded due to bad weather, but still a great tour! The tour guides are very helpful, friendly and considerate. Highly recommend this tour👍🏻

    Fantastic! Went on a sunrise tour to Glenorchy and beyond with Glen and had a great time. My camera was playing up so Glen immediately offered me his back up camera and tripod. Glen knew the area well and was flexible with plans. I was the only one booked that day so it felt like a real treat to have one on one tuition and guide around the area. The scenery was spectacular and varied. Glen helped me with settings on the camera as I was not very experienced at all. By the end I had learnt a lot. It was an incredible feeling to capture an amazing photo. Glen was easy going, chatty and knowledgeable. Would happily go on a tour with Glen again. Highly recommend!

    We visited this place as part of a wine tour from Queenstown. We toured the wine cave, sampled three wines and visited their deli/ cheese shop. The guide was charming, informative, and interesting. It was good to compare & contrast with a couple of other wineries that we had already visited along the valley floor.
