Five tours down, more to go

I cannot express how much my wife & I enjoy this company. Every driver is fantastic. You will not be disappointed using this company. Another great experience. Our guide, Natalia was superb. She dealt with an american couple who were never on time returning to the van with poise and humor, didn't stop them from being late at every stop! The tour was great, One caveat, it's virtually impossible to hike to Devils Punchbowl waterfall in 1 hour, so as patrons be on time so others don't need to rush. We practically ran the uphill trail for fear of being last in the van. It was rainy all day, and it was still a lot fun.

Value for money to see the beauty of West Coast

Renee (and her partner Ryan) was lovely and shared plenty of knowledge about the place as we passed by. We stopped at places I wouldn’t normally visit because I don’t drive. It was raining the day before and the rain was on and off during the drive but it didn’t dampen the beauty of West Coast. The lunch in Greymouth was great! I think it’s a good value of money

Jannes is the best

Our driver and local guide, James, was very helpful and knowledgeable. He shared local experience and history along with colorful stories about the raw natural beauty and history of Arthur’s Pass, the coal mine, punchbowl falls, and castle hill. Jane’s was the best.

An enjoyable day out amongst the mountains.

We did the Greymouth to Christchurch portion of this tour and loved it. We enjoyed Paul's friendly commentary and his flexibility approach. We also appreciated how well he was able to keep on schedule.

Excellent experience

Excellent experience from start to finish. Our guide, Joel, was extraordinary, showing us beautiful places on our way to Christchurch and telling us more about life in New Zealand. I would certainly repeat the experience.

Good Trip, Nice Tour Guides

This route, going from Queenstown along the West Coast to Christchurch, was completely worth it just to see the blue water of the Hokitika River, rocks of Castle Hill and magnificent Arthur Pass. Both of our tour guides, Christina(1st day) and Logan(2nd day) are professional and friendly, and specifically came over to talk simpler vocabulary to us as non-native English speakers. We have enjoyed an unforgetable trip.
