5.00We woke up to a rainy day but Martin turned the day into an exceptional tour taking us to Skippers Road for breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys shrouded in mist, giving us lots of history and so many opportunities for and help with taking great photos. It was a spectacular tour and a highlight of our trip.

5.00Martin was amazing - he took me to the parts of Queenstown that not many people know. He was an expert when it comes to composition, leading lines and other forms of photography. He is a great guy to talk too and was very safe when it came to your health and safety during the photo shoot. I would have no problem recommending him to anybody without a doubt a fantastic tour and well worth every $. Thanks Martin fantastic day. Cheers Gary
Extraordinary experience!

5.00The entire tour was filled with incredible scenery. The highlight was going down Skippers Road. It is a road we would never drive ourselves and it was awesome! Martin, our guide, handled the road really well. Martin also showed us how to take better photos with our smartphones and showed us tips and features we didn't know about. We enjoyed the 5-1/2 hour excursion very much. It was time well spent!
Martin Kohn was excellent and lovely...
