Fantastic from start to finish - Amazing tour! Our guide Diana was very friendly and knowledgeable. The stops were well paced. The sheep farm is adorable. You can buy little bags of pellets and feed the sheep. You can get a hot drink there but nothing in the away of food. Although they do supply the tour lunches which are fresh and tasty. This is also where you have the opportunity to do a jet boat ride. Make sure you have extra money if you want to do this activity. Arthur’s Pass is a stunning location. Well wiorth visiting. You will get time to walk to the waterfall called the Devi’s Punchbowl. It’s mostly uphill and is reasonably tricky you’ll be glad you did it to see the spectacular falls. I chose the option of coming back to Christchurch by the Tranzalpine train (which is included in the price) That is a must do. You get to sit back and relax. All the seats have great views and you even get a table so you can purchase dinner. At the end of the trip Diana was there to meet us and take us back to our hotels. This was a great day out and l highly recommend Cheeky Kea tours.

Arthur's pass and Alpine train - A picturesque and informative day, our driver had a superb knowledge of the areas we visited. He was clear with communication from site features to rest stops. Having a tour with the option to include the train for part of the journey was perfect for us, and being picked up at the station and taken back to our hotels was appreciated at the end of a big day of walking.

An American in New Zealand - The day was not without wonder & all the natural beauty that I saw before me! Mark paired me with the perfect adventure keeping in mind the time I had to spend in New Zealand & his vast knowledge of this beautiful country. Looking forward to what’s next when I return.

Overall I enjoyed all the scenery and service from driver and tour guide from Nick - Everything was smooth, the driver Nick was very informative, he gave all the information about many places and looked after us very well, just my booking was 4 hours on the train but on that day only 2 and a half and the train was delayed 40 minutes.

Perfectly Organized - This trip was perfectly organized from start to finish! The pick-up and drop-off were smooth, and every detail was taken care of. We got to see so much without ever feeling rushed. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Driver cum guide nick is excellent in service.

Beautiful tour but don’t take the train - Beautiful scenery but the unexpected an hour delay of train ruined the experience due to lack of proper communication to us about the delay. We were kept in the dark if we did not message you guys.
