Bus Driver Keith was fantastic. He made sure he spoke with all passengers. Very knowledgeable and good sense of humour. Cruise was amazing, lucky enough to see Dolphins at the start. Scenery was spectacular, Skipper Tim made the cruise special, lunch was great.

The coach trip was great and the driver brilliant. This was the highlight of the trip. However, the boat trip was a huge disapointment and I will certainly vere people away from this company in the future. The boat was unsuitable for purpose. It was a ferry fit taking large numbers from A to B. It was not a cruise ship where passengers are able to enjoy the view. From inside the boat we couldn't get near a window, these had all been reserved for the big tour companies. Outside, where we spent most of our time, was not sheltered at all from the torrential rain and bitterly cold wind. We were in good rain gear but most people were not. The food was good, especially due to the large numbers, but was cold as it took so long to find a seat! All in a very disappointing trip and not worth the money.

The trip was well-organised, starting and finishing on time. Our bus driver/tour guide, Russel, demonstrated his superb expertise by blending great driving and comprehensive local knowledge, with subtle humour and wit. The Milford Sound cruise and buffet lunch continued along this vein, making the trip a wonderful experience. While the overall coach conditions were satisfactory, more seat cushioning would improve comfort levels, given the extended times of the return trip. Well Done.
