5.00Absolutely fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Kristina, was amazing—so knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging throughout the entire day. The trip was very well organized, with multiple scenic stops on the way to the Milford Sound boat cruise. Everything ran on time, the bus was clean and comfortable, and we felt safe and well taken care of the whole time. The fjords were absolutely stunning—an unforgettable part of the trip. Highly recommend!
