Reviews: TranzAlpine Train, Arthur's Pass and Castle Hill Day Trip
Guest User2024-09-30
A grrat day out with adequate time for investigating at various lookouts and walking tracks. Interesting commentary and friendly bus environment. The highlight of our NZ trip for my partner.
Reviews: Lyttelton: Shore Excursion, Castle Hill & Inland Canterbury
Guest User2025-03-03
We really enjoyed our day trip during which we saw the beautiful mountains and got to walk among the huge rocks of Castle Hill. Sophie our guide was very thoughtful and efficient. We had a great lunch and snacks. We were well taken care of. We would have enjoyed a bit more commentary but it was well worth the time and cost.

The time was too short, so we could have added more time to the tour. We were too rushed to walk the Arthur's Pass trail. We also didn't have enough time to walk all the way to Castle Hill, so we were very rushed!

Amazing thoughtful driver for the bus, he was just so great! the train was super too but it was just an attraction, not personal like the driver of the bus. Next time I would do the whole trip on the bus and save some money
Reviews: Akaroa Full Day Sightseeing Tour from Christchurch
Guest User2024-03-28
Very nice! Akoroa was such a cute village and the stops along the way were pleasant surprises! Tasted and bought some cheese and had contracted for the lunch which was DELICIOUS! I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The crew on the boat were equally as helpful and got into some fun conversations with Ben who helped spot those dolphins and a few penguins.
