Reviews: Queenstown: Skippers Canyon Goldrush Highlights Tour
Guest User2026-01-09
★★★★★Koreans looking for a tour in Queenstown... This is the place. A Korean audio guide is provided throughout the tour. Honestly, even if you speak English to some extent, you'd probably miss 70% of the professional commentary. But this tour offers a detailed and expert explanation of Queenstown's gold rush history and Skippers Canyon, perfectly recorded by a professional audio guide, not a low-quality AI translation. Listening to the in-depth Queenstown gold rush history while taking in the scenery through the window and comparing past and present photos from the expert guide was truly like time travel in Queenstown. Skippers Canyon is inaccessible by rental car, so this professional tour was a must-do. If you're visiting Queenstown, I highly recommend Skippers Canyon, especially if you enjoy exploring cultural heritage sites while listening to commentary! Of course, you can also change to the music channel (one headset provided per person) and listen to your own music as you go. You can enjoy the Shotover River and the Remarkable Mountains while riding, and the scenery outside the window is truly amazing. And the tour guide is super friendly and great!!! Another great thing is that this tour started last summer, so word of mouth hasn't spread yet, so you can tour as if you're chartering a car with just your group. It feels like a private tour!! Even though it was just the two of us, the guide worked really hard to make the tour enjoyable. And another adorable thing☆☆☆☆☆ is the dog, Aster!!!! The tour guide's pet dog is so gentle, and you can even get out of the car and take pictures with him. I highly recommend it🥹😍😍 And another great part of the tour: at the end, we had a beer at a pub that's been around since the 1800s, just like gold rush miners!! The guide asked about drinks during the tour, and there were various choices. I tasted four beers, and they were seriously delicious. My eyes widened after the first one. I highly recommend choosing beer. This is a must-do tour in Quinta.★

Reviews: Queenstown scenic round-trip flight + Milford Sound / Piopiotahi cruise - time-saving and effortless
Guest User2025-10-07
It took four adjustments before we finally got on the flight and saw the fjord, but it was totally worth it! The owner was incredibly dedicated, answering every question and patiently explaining things. He even proactively helped with potential itineraries and helped secure a seat.
Furthermore, the weather check and departure times for my final itinerary were at 1:00 AM China time. I had planned to call and confirm them myself, but the owner was so persistent that he helped confirm them. I was so touched! I highly recommend this place! It was a great choice!★

Reviews: Milford Sound Day Tour from Queenstown
Guest User2024-07-28
We really enjoyed the bus trip there with our driver Shailendra who was very informative, insightful and fun. The cruise had some beautiful scenery despite the weather not being as good. The bus ride home was very long and quite a long day on the whole was the only downside for us but enjoyable experience on the whole.★

Milford Sound is absolutely stunning! The scenery is breathtaking, the boat tour is fantastic, and the unique landscape not found in China is truly amazing. The entire trip, including check-in, was incredibly smooth!
