James was a very good driver and friendly tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable and given young and old on board, he was very patient and thoughtful to all. Constantly checking and taking care of everyone. If more time can be allocated to each photo taking locations will be even better. Overall I’ve enjoyed the experience and would recommend others to join!

Amazing experience! This is a fantastic one-day trip, with carefully planned stops that allow time for exploring, taking pictures, and having lunch. James is a wonderful guide: he shared lots of details and is very friendly. You can't miss this if you're in Christchurch! I definitely recommend this experience!

Both were excellent Check the weather and dress for everything. We had sun, rain and wind but it was all gorgeous This tour is best for those that like to walk or hike as we had time for two treks

A great tour with a very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. The tour is well-paced and even though it’s a long day from Christchurch it feels much faster as there are regular stops. Would definitely recommend.

The Mt Cook tour was absolutely amazing! The views were stunning and everything ran so smoothly. Our guide, Phil, was outstanding; friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
