The guide was very thoughtful, he prepared plenty of water, chocolates and snacks for us. I noticed he was also very caring, taking the initiative to help one of the older guests with her bag. He also brought along umbrellas and ponchos for all of us given the rain. He is knowledgeable about the places and brought us to some very scenic spots, making great recommendations for hikes, and visits (including the tip to visit the little chapel at Arthur’s pass).

Arthur's Pass: TranzAlpine Train and Castle Hill Day TourReviewed byLynn,8/30/2024

Great trip with excellent commentary. Milford sound was breathtaking in the rain and the when it started snowing on the drive back everything was spectacular! Through all of this the safe driving of our guide made the experience stress free and enjoyable.

Lovely day! It’s a big drive to get there and back to Queenstown. Recommend motion sickness tablets for those who get car or sea sick.

It was so exciting and beautiful. However, The weather was rainy but pretty good. It was like Jurassic Park.
