Fabulous day trip

Coach arrived promptly for pick up with Neil our driver for the day being very helpful with historical, geographical and cultural information as we travelled to Akaroa. Stunning scenery both on route and in Akaroa. Spent the day exploring ... busy due to 2 cruise ships being in port. Comfort breaks offered on both journeys for those that might need them. Would definitely recommend.
