An amazing day! Commentary was very informative and the perfect amount. Great tour overall. Bus was comfortable, guide was very polite and informative, and saw some beautiful scenery. Highly recommended!
“Our driver was excellent, funny stories, informative geological facts about the glacier formations. Good way to get from Christchurch to Queenstown with a view of the lakes and Mt. Cook on the way.”
