Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★

Reviews: Lake Tekapo: Stargazing Experience at Cowan's Observatory
Guest User2026-02-08
Expensive for what you experience. Guides were extremely knowledgeable. Novice astronomers should do this. If you’ve seen Jupiter moons…maybe not.★

Reviews: From Rotorua: Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with Festive Lunch
Guest User2026-02-13
The guide we had at the hobbiton was difficult to understand, as she talked fast & had her mic to close to her mouth. We also found out from our tour/bus driver more information than what we were given from our guide at Hobbiton. However, being in the shire was amazing, it’s a MUST for any LOTR’S fan.
