Martin was the best tour guide and driver for our epic majestic tour to Milford Sound. You can tell he really appreciates the scenery of New Zealand and gave us many photo stops to capture the moments. He was so professional and punctual. Thanks Martin!

Our guide, Cullen, was a wealth of information, helpful and made the long journey to Milford Sound enjoyable. The cruise was beautiful and after a morning of rain we saw unbelievable waterfalls. Once in a lifetime views by choosing flight back. Only complaint would be the sandwich provided, ruined good bread and meat with butter and ketchup!

My mom and I came to New Zealand for the first time from the US and one of the things we were looking forward to the most was our tour to Milford Sound and Fiordland. Expectations were quite high. And we went on this tour with our guide Mary who truly was an angel. My mother and I think anybody who gets Mary should go buy a lottery ticket because you are very lucky. When you spend 12 hours (with much of it on the road) your tour guide needs to be engaging, excellent with time management and knowledgeable and Mary was those things and more. She made several beautiful stops, took pictures and knew where all of us were at all times. She told us so many stories about the history of New Zealand, Queenstown, the national Park, Milford Sound and everything in between. She was like a walking encyclopedia with one of the best personalities. She had such a great plan of how she fills the time on the long drive back home as well and it was so charming, she’s also a great singer. Milford Sound by the way was beautiful and on our cruise we saw dolphins and they did flip jumps in the air - truly a sight to behold. This whole day was perfect. My mom and I have been on many tours before but this was by far the best one we’ve ever been on. Mary + Milford Sound = a combination for the ages. Highly recommend this tour.
