Great half day tour! - Shanay our guide made this tour exceptional! We very much enjoyed her insights and comments along the way, the stops were beautiful and fun! The wine tasting was very special thanks to Curch Winery and Sherry! We were unable to do the boat tour due to mechanical problems but the alternative Time Tripper experience was appreciated. I would highly recommend this excellent tour!

Jono Makes the Day! - Jono completely made this tour for us! For someone only being in the country for 2 years, he was extremely knowledgeable and very passionate. He offered to take pictures of us at every photo opportunity and was genuinely a lovely guy. So happy we got to meet him on our trip. We booked another tour with Altitude after that to Glenorchy because we knew Jono was going to be the driver on that particular day. An absolute asset to Altitude. Thanks Jono :)
