One of the better informational and scenic tours I've experienced in any trip that I've been in. The tour guide (driver) was extremely knowledgeable and truly made it a great experience. I recommend this to everyone who is in Queenstown.

Terrific tour with loads of information. It poured rain the entire day of the tour, and I was dreading it because visibility was so limited. But the incredible bonus was thousands of waterfalls that only occur when it is raining. So the tour is a win regardless of weather. Bus is comfortable and stops are adequate. Well worth the price.
