Since I had plans to stay in Lake Tekapo that day, I emailed to ask if I could be dropped off along the way, and they kindly agreed. Thanks to them having communicated this to the guide in advance, I was able to join the tour without any worries! The two-hour stay at Mount Cook gives you enough time to do the round trip on the beginner hiking trail ^_^ In addition to the guide's commentary inside the vehicle, we were also given snacks and hamburgers as travel companions, making it a very fulfilling tour. Thank you very much!
The trip is excellent and amazing. Mt Cook is so pretty.
Before booking, I was worried and anxious because similar products were priced so differently, making it hard to know which one to choose and making me doubt if the quality would vary by price. However, once I joined the tour, all those worries turned out to be unfounded. The tour company's responses to my pre-tour questions were prompt and friendly, the guide on the day of the tour was fantastic, and the great weather made it an extremely satisfying experience. I usually rely heavily on reviews, and it was a bit difficult to tell whether the same company was listed as different operators on the platform, which added to my dilemma. But in the end, I was even more satisfied because I was able to book with the same company through Klook at a much lower price.
Malcom the guide was very thoughtful; that made the journey very enjoyable.
The scenery was beautiful, and the tour guide was very friendly and informative throughout the trip!
My itinerary was canceled. Will I receive a refund? What is your refund policy?
