Great train ride and bus tour
Stephan D5.0Mar 2024We had a little struggle with the pickup, because i thought we had to come to the railway station, but our guide wanted to pick us up at our accomodation. At least we were where we used to be, on the Tranz Alpine Express to Arthur's Pass. The train ride and the bus tour to some really awesome places and views were great, we really enjoyed it.Overpriced Tour
Yusuf B2.0Feb 2024Despite confirmed the pickup location the the driver/guide went to a different location We had to make calls to the tour operator as the driver did not show up on the time. Finally the tour operator was able to track the driver and directed him the meeting point where we stood waiting for over half an hour not knowing or not receiving any communication from the driver . We almost missed the tranzalpine train. The tour went well. The tranazalpine train ride to Arthurs Pass was not very scenic. Overpriced tour overall ..Fantastic all round day!
