• Not a tour, just a very expensive ride…

  Let me start by saying that this was not a tour. We have done many tours throughout New Zealand and this was the most expensive and most disappointing one. There was ZERO commentary, and just a ride from Christchurch to several free locations. The ride was in an uncomfortable van that lacked wi-fi as advertised. If you have a rental car, then you can make the same trip for a huge savings. For $1500 for a family of 5, this was a disappointment at such a cost. The pickup location was incorrect, though or driver did pick us up. The tour mentioned a stop at Tasman glacier, but it was omitted from the day. Overall, we enjoyed the stops and would recommend seeing the sights that were featured, but recommend another way to get around and perhaps an actual tour.

• Worthwhile Experience at Mt. Cook, Tasman Glacier and Lake Tekapo

  Lavish (and Umesh) were excellent drivers and tour guides. Lavish was very accommodating to our needs and flexible. Our pick up & drop off was a breeze, flawless and the tour was worthwhile. The South Islands are simply amazing. Everybit worthwhile. Highly recommend the stops at Lake Tekapo, Mt. Cook, tge drive through 'the southern Alps', The Tasman Glacier View - even if it were raining. Please make sure you are prepared for weather with right attire and shoes (it was rainy and a little chilly for December 2024). Fantastic experience and we highly recommend this tour. Simply put, worthwhile the time, and the experience.

  Umesh, our driver was very attentive from the moment he picked us us. He was 5 minutes early and got us settled. We were on a private tour which was lovely as we stayed longer at some spots, and shorter at others. We had 3 generations so there were different needs and wants and he covered them all. We stopped at a beautiful place facing Mount Cook for lunch. We sat outside and enjoyed the lunch, sun , and the mountain. There were many people there but we never had to look for our ride. He provided water, a phone charger, and sweets, and bathroom breaks😉 He took us to a coffee cafe for an afternoon break. We had good conversation and good driving which was important to us. Probably my favorite part of the ride is that all 4 of us did not feel rushed. We took our time when we wanted. I would recommend this trip to any one.
