Huge thanks to Mike for the brilliant hospitality during our day trip to Lake Tekapo and Mt. Cook! The travel plans were perfectly organised, and our personal, comfortable van driven by Adam made the journey even more enjoyable. The private pickup was right on time, and we appreciated the smooth and relaxed experience throughout the day. Every moment was a delight – from the stunning views to the thoughtful planning. New Zealand is truly a blessing to explore, and this trip was no exception. A fantastic day trip from Christchurch – highly recommended!
