5.00I am a hobby photographer. Aiste has lots of experience, deep knowledge of the surroundings, and a friendly nature. We went to Glenorchy, and Skippers canyon for some epic photography. She has is an excellent driver in the most difficult terrains. She goes out of her way to ensure you are happy with the service. I would be happy to engage her anytime again.

5.00A great half day tour. Our helicopter tour that was scheduled the day before had to be rescheduled due to weather, Aiste was really flexible with rescheduling timings so we could do both. Despite it being cold and windy Aiste taught me how to do astral photography, providing great tips, ans extra layers. Even though we were not expecting it, ws caught the aurora. Was a great evening tour, would recommend.

5.00We had an amazing tour with Aiste! She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us along a pass that we didn’t even know existed and would definitely not have driven up ourselves! The views were just incredible and we got some amazing photographs. Aiste went out her way to make sure that we got the time that we needed and helped guide the shots to get the best outcomes. We both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend to others who want to experience a different part of Queenstown.
Queenstown like never before

5.00I will highly recommend this tour. Aiste is an awesome guide and photographer. She took us to all the beautiful places ( family of 4) and clicked some amazing pictures. She was very patient and showed us everything possible. After the tour we realized that my son left his sunglasses in her SUV. She returned back especially for that and also dropped few chocolates for our kids.. I will highly recommend her.
Highly recommend this photo tour!

5.00Aiste’s half day photography tour was amazing! We went to Moke Lake and Glenorchy with breathtaking vistas and lots of sheep along the way. She knew all the good photo spots and was very patient and made sure I captured all the angles I wanted. She also took some photos of me and shared a lot of great photography tips. The photos came out great as well - definitely would recommend!
Fantastic experience
