Great value and fantastic tour. - Pete is an absolutely knowledgeable and congenial tour guide and it is also clear that the other tour operators know him well and offer him the highest respect. If you are with Pete, expect to be treated royally. He had another group cancel at the last minute, which caused him financial difficulty, but he still agreed to take me on the tour. He treated me like a friend, and that’s just how I felt. I lived in Christchurch as a student 40 years ago, so it had been quite a while. But I learned more about Christchurch with Pete than I did when I lived there! If any of you are on cruise ships, I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour with Pete. It will be half the price of the same tour offered by the cruise line, and you will get better service and convenience. 10/10 recommend.

6 days trip from Christchurch including TranzAlpine train - The coach driver on day 1 from Christchurch to Queenstown was severely unhelpful, blunt and rude. The stops at Lake Tekapo was only 5 minutes and all the other stops were rush rush. However, we truely understood that this service is not directly operated by your company but hope you could pass the feedback to the provider. On the other hand, the guide at Hokitika Bill, was superb, very knowledgeable and shared plenty of information about the places we visited and also a good photographer. I think Milford Sound is spectacular!! Overall, we enjoyed the trip and a big thanks to Lisa for creating the journey and understanding our needs especially the request for taxi to and from Queenstown bus stop to Garden Court Hotel. All accomodations were lovely, had been carefully chosen near anemities and all had good views and good location. Your company is highly recommended. We will definate contact you again for our next trip to New Zealand.

Excellent Christchurch tour - Pete was a considerate knowledgeable guide. We would highly recommend him as a guide. We couldn’t get onto the gondola because of high winds so Pete drove us around to where we could see the similar views. We also had a lovely lunch and a ride on the punt on the Avon river. Highly recommend Pete
