Exceeded our expectations! - We woke up to a rainy day but Martin turned the day into an exceptional tour taking us to Skippers Road for breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys shrouded in mist, giving us lots of history and so many opportunities for and help with taking great photos. It was a spectacular tour and a highlight of our trip.

1st photography tour around Queenstown - Martin was amazing - he took me to the parts of Queenstown that not many people know. He was an expert when it comes to composition, leading lines and other forms of photography. He is a great guy to talk too and was very safe when it came to your health and safety during the photo shoot. I would have no problem recommending him to anybody without a doubt a fantastic tour and well worth every $. Thanks Martin fantastic day. Cheers Gary

Wonderful tour for photography and scenic views! - I would highly recommend this tour! My guide was Martin, and he really made my experience wonderful. He drove us around to lots of different beautiful places in and around Queenstown, places that I would not have seen otherwise. He gave me some tips about how to use my specific camera, but he spent most of his time teaching me about composition, which I very much appreciated! I learned so much and I think my photos will be much improved after my tour. I've already been putting the lessons into practice, which shows what a great teacher Martin is! His positive energy was infectious and I loved how excited he got about the photos I was taking. Overall, this was a great tour and one I would highly recommend!

A wonderful experience! - My wife and I were absolutely thrilled with this day tour. Martin, our tour guide, did an outstanding job. He took us to places that we would not have gone on our own. One such place was Skippers Canyon. We would never have driven that ourselves. The scenery was magnificent! He also showed us photo tips on our smartphones that were very helpful; features we didn't know about. The tour was money and time well spent. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you, Martin. Kind regards, Dave and Helen Horner, Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA.

A fantastic tour! - The entire tour was filled with incredible scenery. The highlight was going down Skippers Road. It is a road we would never drive ourselves and it was awesome! Martin, our guide, handled the road really well. Martin also showed us how to take better photos with our smartphones and showed us tips and features we didn't know about. We enjoyed the 5-1/2 hour excursion very much. It was time well spent!

See NZ Backcountry, and experience amazing photographic opportunities - We booked a photo tour of areas that most people wouldn’t go, to capture unique images. We were highly delighted with not only the tour locations but the personalised and engaging explanations of the flora, fauna, local stories and histories en route. Martin, our driver and guide; was excellent tutoring, driving and advising on images. We went off-road into stunning high country which offered excellent picture opportunities, can’t wait to process. Summer was brilliant, would love to return in winter! Highly recommended and would love to repeat with Martin again if back in New Zealand.
