Fantastic 5.0
we had a very relaxing trip on the train. The staff was fantastic and being able to look out of the open car was pretty neat.

The scenery was incredibly beautiful. We experienced both bright, sunny days with dazzling sunshine and light rain, which even brought a rainbow. The train was clean and tidy, with comfortable seats, free Wi-Fi, and USB charging ports at every seat. The meal package was excellent, with no disappointments, and even included unlimited alcoholic beverages. We even encountered a Chinese-speaking attendant! The only minor drawback was that the train's audio guide wasn't available in Chinese; it would have been perfect if it had been.

Great 4.0
Unfortunately, it was raining during our visit to Arthur’s Pass, so we didn’t get the chance to see some of the village’s main tourist attractions. We also had to wait around four hours for the train back to Christchurch, which made the experience feel like it wasn’t worth the money. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and the food was nice.

The whale watching activity was canceled due to bad weather, but the tour guide seemed inexperienced and unable to arrange and execute a backup plan in a timely manner. When we stopped along the way, they also didn't announce the meeting time. Luckily, the group members were quite good and didn't cause any delays. The guide did provide some brief commentary along the way, and there was someone in our group who didn't understand Chinese, but the guide hardly used English to accommodate them.

Had a lovely day out with our guide John, who entertained us the whole way with his tales and humour. Do note that this is the version of the tour without the TranzAlpine railway, and they will combine both tour groups. You can still get on the train with their help, but it’s cheaper to just get the train package tour from the start. John helped to sort us out and the ride was definitely worth it!

We had a wonderful private tour to Akaroa and the alpaca farm from Christchurch. Although it was more pricey, the private tour was absolutely worth it. The highlight of the trip was definitely the alpaca farm. We had plenty of time to feed, pat, and take photos with the alpacas, and we also learned a lot about these gentle animals from the informative session. Our driver & guide Zhen was friendly, helpful, and incredibly patient throughout the day. We especially appreciated how safely and smoothly he navigated the winding hill roads to the alpaca farm, which made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. The tour was well organised and relaxed, giving us enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Christchurch and looking for a memorable day out.

My family and I had a wonderful time throughout the 13 hour van ride from Christchurch to Queenstown. The cost of the tour is well worth it, since we were able to enjoy all the sights and stops we made. The snacks and lunch were also delicious and filling. Rosie picked us up from our hotel and took us to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook, while Abbie drove us from Mt Cook to High Country Salmon Farm and then to our Queenstown accommodation. The ride itself felt comfortable and safe. There were 3 vacant seats in Rosie's van, while Abbie's was full with 16 people inside. This was a really fun way to get around. Will definitely recommend Cheeky Kiwi to friends and family!
