  Our 3 hour guided walk with Louis was amazing. Not only was he a lovely young gentleman, his knowledge of the area was outstanding. We learnt alot about the area we walked . It was very special to go off the main track in places , with hot chocolate being served in front of the Glacier , a nice touch . We would highly recommend. Wishing Louis all the best at Uni completing his Masters .

  Sophia was a very knowledgeable guide who provided an interesting and entertaining walk through the rain forest. She took on board our preferences and provided refreshments.

  I hope I have the right company. This is a story about the owner, Natasha. The company that arranged this trip informed us that we were going to be picked up at the hotel. We waited and waited, only to be told that things had changed and we were supposed to have met at the company's location. We were informed that we had missed our trip. Being our last day in Franz Joseph, the glacier is the main tourist attraction, and it seemed that we weren't going to see it. We went down to the office. Natasha was our angel. She had done nothing wrong, yet she personally drove us up to the glacier and waited in the parking lot for us to return. The reality is that she was under no obligation to do so. Her kindness was appreciated. We offered to take her out to dinner. We would have enjoyed her company. Quite simply, today's world needs more Natashas or Tasha as she calls herself.

  

  

• Great ECO tour to see the Glacier and learn about conservation and the effect of climate change.

  Great tour with Sophia to see all the ferns and other plants, to learn about conservation and technology to get rid of pests and predators to protect native NZ birds, Kiwis, etc. Also saw the Franz Josef Glacier up close and learned about the effects of climate change.

• Back routes fantastic, guide class. Expect more from walking.

  Good guide with fun anecdotes and answers questions you ask. The 1st part of the trip we can do on our own. Shouldn't be part of the trip. The 2nd part the back routes which are cool and great to see. These make the trip and for this you go with a guide. Without a guide you are not allowed on the back-routes. Do not expect a brisk trip as announced. Our company was mobile not the fastest and the slowest determines. The front screening needs to be done better. I feel like we've gone quite a bit wrong now. Walking is tight 1.5 hours at a time of 4 hours. What we did see is great.

• Enjoyed but slow pace

  I enjoyed it but was expecting to walk further than 2km in 2.5 hours. Also would have been useful if it stated which track we would be walking on when booking as I had already done the majority of the track we walked on the day before by myself. I understand there were mixed abilities in the group but maybe this is something that could be asked when booking. Overall, my opinion would be to save your money and do the walk by yourself!

  Brilliant walk with Sophie she was so informative about the plants etc. It was raining very hard but the waterproofs they supply are excellent keeping you dry. We managed to see the glacier and was served a hot drink and cookie from Sophie😀😀
