James’ trip to Milford Sound…highly recommend! - Our tour guide James was incredibly knowledgable and kept us informed about our surroundings and so the journey flew in. He was also very helpful taking photographs of us as we were on our own. The boat trip around Milford Sound was magical. A couple of tips: sit inside on left hand side and use the viewing deck at the front as on top can be very windy! Bring your own picnic lunch.

Highly recommended! - Really a 'once in a lifetime' experience!!! Don’t let the long drive scare you...it’s really worth the 4 hours. We drove with Andy, who was an incredibly entertaining driver/guide/history storyteller. Again....can only recommend on the strongest

Very nice excursion to Milford sound - The GT guide, is great, the bus on top, the breathtaking scenery, the journey is long more than 4h each way, the stops are good then the best for the end, the Milford sound by boat on a beautiful day with a very good lunch. I recommend this company and small group tour.

Great day out with a great guide (Tommy) - Amazing day - Tommy was the best guide! He had so many interesting facts and really brought the area to life. The smaller group & boat really made the difference as well

The best tour guide for Milford sound departing from Queenstown - The scenery was awesome. We had Nev as our driver and tour guide. He’s knowledge of the surrounding landscape from Queenstown to the sound would have to be second to none. for 13 hour round-trip. Not only did he display exemplary driving he also kept us entertained with his quick wit And extensive knowledge of The lands history. If you’re going to do this trip, then you want Nev as your driver.

Great personalized Milford Sound Tour Experience! - Really appreciated having Tommy as our guide on the amazing Milford Sound experience. He was very communicate while sharing personal stories of his connection the area and a lot of interesting facts. I particularly appreciated the ability to make several stops along the Milford Road such as discovering the Kea birds and the various otherworldly viewpoints and points of interest. Appreciated also the small group vibe of the experience as it felt very personalized and Tommy without hesitation was ready to take photos for our large family group at the various spots and we were able to make more stops than the larger buses due to the smaller size of the group. The Milford Sound cruise itself was great in providing ample space to see the amazing landscapes, foliage and formations! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!

Truly spectacular tour!! - This tour was incredible. Our guide Shelley was very knowledgeable and was a local with countless facts and stories. She also showed her local skills and knowledge by briefly stopping to put some wayward cows back in their paddock and off the highway! Milford Sound was phenomenal, as was the drive there. We stopped at a few great photo locations and towns. I highly recommend upgrading to fly back after the cruise on the Sound!! It was the best of both worlds that we got to see so many sites on the way there and then have a spectacular ariel view on the way back. This tour was the best I’ve ever been on!
