Highly recommend - We were lucky enough today to have the absolute pleasure of touring with Luxe Tours to Milford Sounds. What a wonderful day ! Our guide and driver Michelle was so kind, patient and full of local knowledge. Our small group of 8 were treated like royalty the entire day, with so many personal touches such as pick up and drop off at our accommodation, morning tea provided with scrumptious freshly baked muffins and hot tea or coffee, frequent stops for photos and small walks, fast tracked onto the boat for our cruise with reserved seating and lunch waiting for us and many more small things that can only be obtained travelling through a boutique company. Highly recommend.

Don't hesitate to take this tour. - My husband and I were doing a fly/drive tour of the South Island, NZ. So my husband got a break from driving I booked us on this tour as it has a maximum of 10 people. Can I say we weren't disappointed. Murry was our exceptional driver. Our enjoyment was his priority. He shared so much local information with us. I am not the fittest person but he encouraged me to go on a short, but steep walk, to see a waterfall. I am so glad he did. The van was extremely comfortable and very clean. Morning tea was provided and we even received a water bottle (made from plant-based material) as a keepsake. Exceptional, memorable day.

Great experience - Guide/driver Murray was fantastic. Small tour with a maximum of 10 people. A little more expensive than others but worth every dollar. Thanks also to Katelyn for help with parking. This tour is highly recommended.

Superb trip to Milford Sound, highly recommend this way of doing it. Shorter distance from Te Anau and a small group. - Great trip to Milford Sound. There were only 8 of us on the trip, the minibus was really comfortable and Toby was a fantastic tour guide. We had lots of stops on the way to take photos and walk up to a waterfall. Toby gave us lots of information about the area. The coffee and cakes were excellent. The boat trip was amazing. It was all extremely well organised and we had a really good day. Thank you.

Brilliant - Amazing. Michelle was fabulous - great knowledge of the area and super friendly. The morning tea muffins were yummy and the bus comfortable. We had a hire car but were so glad we did a tour with Luxe instead of driving ourselves as we would have missed so much. Great day - a must do.

Great experience with stunning scenery. - Great day, comfortable mini bus, water bottle provided tea/coffee stop along the way. Some stops along the way to take in the scenery & moderate hike to a waterfall. Delivered to the cruise terminal (very busy), we had preordered lunch which was delivered very soon after getting on board. As we had booked with Luxe our seats on the cruise had been reserved for us, otherwise it’s best in to get a seat. The cruise takes you past the most amazing mountains & waterfalls, lots of waterfalls, which the boats get very close to, close enough that you get wet from the spray. Not a lot of wildlife spotted on our trip. The trip from Te Anau to Milford Sound is quite long & with no shops or petrol station along the way, I didn’t notice any food shops at the cruise terminal either. That’s why it was great going with Luxe Tours we didn’t have to worry about that & Toby knew some great spots to stop along the way. A fantastic day.

Great Day - Excellent day. Guide/driver (Murray) was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout. Seats on the boat are reserved for people on this tour and the boat was not as overcrowded as others we saw. The food you order when booking is ready when you get on board. This is highly recommended.

Unforgettable Experience - We were conveniently picked up at our motel in Te Anau by Murray who was an amazing, very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. We traveled in a 12 seater van that was more appropriate for my liking. We had the perfect stops and even shared coffee, tea and a muffin on the way. Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise it was an enjoyable day, thank you Luxe Tours for the great experience.
