Good Half-Day Tour

The service vehicle is good and the guide is friendly. It's a good half day tour to explore the beauty of Glenorchy on your own.

Amazing

I was in Queenstown for a solo trip & booked this Lovely tour to end the year. Transport was so comfy, audio recordings played throughout the trip. Loved our personal guide- Dave Harding who made sure we were welcomed, entertained, informed & well taken care of. Thank you Dave! He is the heart of the trip! Glenorchy- Had a good 10 or so minutes to take photos of the lovely Lake & the red barn. There could be a queue of tourists. Paradise- Endless greens, some parts of the road can be bumpy but leave it all to Dave’s expertise & enjoy the ride & the view . Farm- Got to see & feed the alpacas, deer, horses,donkeys, sheeps. There are some other farm animals too. Great experience for kids & kids at heart! Was pleased to have some free tea & coffee.

Sheep Sheep Sheep

20 mins in animal farm is not enough at all. I want to stay there for an hour at least and more sheep time. The place is so beautiful. Can the company make a full day trip instead?

Disappointing

This tour is not what is advertised. The main good thing was the commentary from our driver Ernie. The Kiwi morning tea was a coffee & biscuit provided by the driver. The Māori Mythology didn’t happen- we actually didn’t meet any New Zealanders at all. The farm experience didn’t happen (it’s closed on Mondays). The only thing in Paradise is one house and a sign to have your picture taken next to. Definitely not worth your money even at this special price. We could have done it in our hire car,on our own, for what we got out of this. Disappointed!!!
