Reviews
It was a super perfect day! The weather was fantastic! After turning onto the road to Mount Cook, all the clouds cleared, revealing a magnificent landscape of snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and lakes, like a fairyland. On the way back, the incredibly beautiful pink, purple, and blue sunset glow, reflecting off the pristine white snow mountains, left even us, who are used to Adelaide's pink and purple skies, in awe! We absolutely must give our driver and guide, a wonderful young lady, a five-star-plus review! She thoughtfully prepared snacks, wet wipes, and tissues, explained things softly and gently along the way, drove safely and smoothly, took us to restrooms that bypassed the queues at tourist spots, and even made a special stop on the return journey so we could gaze at the starry sky. For this, she extended our trip by an hour for free, bringing our Queenstown journey to a perfect close.
Thank you to Tour Guide Roolee for her professional and considerate explanations, and also for assisting and providing information on our new itinerary👍
Our driver and tour guide, GoGo, provided very thoughtful service. His driving skills were excellent, and the entire journey was very smooth. The only thing that needs improvement is the car door, which requires a lot of force to close. Please get an automatic door soon! 👍🏻😂
Beforehand, they thoughtfully confirmed the pick-up location with me. The vehicle was smooth and comfortable, and the small group made it easy to gather. At the end, because there was still time, we stopped at one more scenic spot for photos. The scenery was beautiful, and the trail was easy to walk.
