The journey was smooth. On the route during spring, you can see beautiful yellow flowers along both sides of the road. The driver, Nick, was very informative about the tour. Take care of every tour member equally and provide assistance in every matter. I want every driver to be like Nick.

Sarah was such a knowledgeable and accomodating host who gave us enough time to enjoy our stops. She inspired the group to climb up and see the wonderful Tasman Glacier. We wouldnt have seen it without her encouragement.

Stunning views of Mt. Cook/Aoraki. 10KM (mostly flat) hike to Hooker Lake is possible during the longest stop on the trip, but due to bus schedule constraints, this hike must be completed in 3 hours, so to complete the entire hike to the lake and best views, must be fast of foot. Bathroom stops adequate. Guide was humorous and knowledgable about sights. Lake Tekapo also provided beautiful views. Bus change over was smooth.

Ted, our guide from Queenstown to Mount Cook, was really nice and funny. The second guide was also very friendly. Only thing: the stopp at lake Tekapo is very short.
