The tour was great. Scotty is an amazing guide and driver. He’s very helpful, has a lot of interesting information to share, and is also funny. Everyone at Leisure Tours was helpful and responsive throughout the booking process. The scenery en route and in Akaroa was beautiful, as was the view from the boat ride. We saw dolphins and fur seals. I also went on their tour to Arthur’s Pass with the same guide and it was equally fun and interesting, with amazing scenery.
