Such a beautiful place to see!

5.00JA was our tour guide and she was the best! The van was very comfortable and she made sure we stopped when we needed to for food and bathroom breaks. Our cruise shipped altered the time we were in port so she had to adjust our tour accordingly. JA was knowledgeable, funny, and very personable. It being a cruise ship excursion, she was very aware of our time, and making sure we returned with plenty of time. The views were gorgeous and she was a great picture taker too! Would definitely recommend this tour!
Pretty lake & Mtns

5.00WE had a lovely day with Jan. It was a long ride but worth driving to Lake Tekapo & seeing this beautiful lake surrounded by snow capped mountains.
