Wonderful Experience

5.0This was a fantastic experience. Raghav, did a great job and was extremely organized. He picked us up in Christchurch and took excellent care from then on. His van was comfortable, even equipped with wifi and also had cords I could charge my phone with. Had plenty of water and snacks in the van also. He stopped at lots of scenic stops on the drive. I would definitely recommend having him as your guide/driver. We also stayed at excellent hotels. When we finished an excursion, I would texted him and he'd show up within minutes. This is a great way to experience New Zealand.
