  Loved all the information our guides gave us, very knowledgeable. The stop views were incredible. I would totally recommend this over a flight or bus ride if you are travelling to Queenstown from Christchurch.

  Possibly the best tour I have done in any country I have been to. Was on-time and well thought out. Guides were very knowledgeable and also let us know multiple times what time we had to be back at the van. We got a snack bag and a generous lunch which was appreciated. We were very well looked after and were never left wondering where we were going to get food. There wasn't a shortage of toilet stops and all the stops were meaningful. Thanks for a great day! Guide also dropped us off at the a hotel they don't usually make stops to. Thankyou so much

  We started our tour with Will, who shared great info on our drive to Mount Cook. And we enjoyed the stop in Fairlie for delicious bakery goods. And since the conditions on Mount Cook for much trail walking Will was very accommodating in shuttling us to the village to check out Visitor Center. We then transferred to Jonathan’s van for the ride into Queenstown. He kept us entertained with his “dad jokes” and took us to great farm stand on the way.

• Best way to get from Christchurch to Queenstown!

  Fantastic experience with brilliant scenery throughout the journey. We were well-looked after throughout the day with plenty of stops and a generous packed lunch from Fairlie Bakehouse. Both of our drivers were really informative and helped us to appreciate the different landscapes around us, as well as learn some of the history of the area. Clive was our driver as far as Mt Cook, where we were given options for walks to do. He was happy to recommend the best tracks and drive us to the start points. I would recommend doing the two shorter tracks (Tasman Glacier and Kea Point Track) as this gives a great view of first the glacier and then Mt Cook. Others in our group who attempted the longer Hooker Valley track didn't manage to make it to the final viewpoint within the two hour stop, whereas myself and a couple others had time to soak in two viewpoints and take plenty of photos. Iveta then took us the rest of the way to Queenstown. Also a great guide, she tailored the stops based on our group interests and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area. As we approached Queenstown, she gave recommendations for the best activities to do depending on budget and interests, which was really useful when planning how to make the most out of my stay. A really enjoyable day and one of the highlights of my solo trip around New Zealand.
