Review for: All About Paradise in Glenorchy

I advise everyone not to buy this product! ! First of all, the product description does not match the actual content of the trip. There is no wool shaving performance. The guide told us that there is no such performance in winter. Secondly, we learned on the way that the tour fare we spent was 4 times that of our fellow travelers! ! Very unreasonable pricing and deceptive consumer behavior can be said to be the worst part of this trip to New Zealand. I strongly advise everyone not to purchase this product!! Firstly, the product description does not match the actual itinerary - there was no sheep shearing demonstration as promised, and the guide told us that there is no such performance in the winter. Secondly, we learned along the way that the tour fee we paid was 4 times that of our fellow travelers!! This pricing is extremely unreasonable and constitutes fraudulent behavior towards consumers. This was undoubtedly the worst part of our New Zealand trip.

I was thoroughly disappointed with today's tour as I discovered mid-way through, from the driver, that the sheep shearing demonstration had been cancelled without any prior notice or notification to us. This was a significant aspect of the tour that I was looking forward to, and the lack of communication regarding its cancellation was unacceptable.

I enjoyed the small group tour. We had been to a lot of breathtaking sceneries. It was also fun feeding the farm animals.

I personally experienced the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" and marveled at the beauty of the "Road to Paradise". I also admired the New Zealand-style afternoon tea and went to the farm to kill the animals. Unfortunately, there is no shearing activity in the itinerary, and it is not imagined It is a large ranch in China, but I can connect to this half-day tour after I get off the plane and arrange check-in. It is very efficient and does not waste time👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The location of the activity is beautiful, the tour guide will give us earphones, introduce it when we pass by some activity locations on the way, and tell Maori stories, which is very interesting! The only downside is that it is a public holiday that day, so it is impossible to appreciate the shearing process.
