My family tour was booked with Leisure tour via Viator. There was a couple from Brazil didn’t comeback on time from break and we waited for 25 minutes. So the company told driver to move on to next place but we ended up picking them up by company’s decision from one hour away. as a result we didn’t complete at least half of our tour and stayed in van hours and no one say sorry. Leisure tour company doesn’t have any consideration for rest of guests, 9 people.
So much to see going to Arthur's Pass!

Long bus ride out & back but well worth it for the views. Gorgeous! Definitely recommend including lunch since there are only two cafes in town. Our lunch was served as we arrived.
Intensive, lovely day. Not kidding when they say "lots of driving!"

We loved the ride into the mountains into Arthur's Pass. The visit to the sheep farm was outstanding. Our guide, Jude, was awesome. I think the trip was rushed due to our late arrival into port. However, we knew the tour would be mostly spent driving to and from. No fault of the tour company or guide. The weather Gods were against us that day, as well. We grabbed a take away lunch to eat in the van on the way back.
