    Almost Paradise !

    We took a 6 hour tour to Glenorchy and Paradise with Queenstown transfers. After appreciating the beauty of the country for a week, we found Glenorchy and Paradise truly enchanting. It is a must do trip from Queenstown for nature lovers. The hosts made our trip comfortable despite the rains. The hot samosas and spring rolls (included in the package) were an added treat. We were provided ample time to soak in the beauty of the places. We were also taken offroad to Routeburn track which summed up our beautiful day with Queenstown transfers.

    Not what we expected

    We did quite a few small group tours when we visited New Zealand and this was the only one that fell short of expectations. We ended up being the only ones on the tour but despite this, our hosts never asked us where we were from of any of the other friendly banter that we’ve come to expect from friendly Kiwis (our hosts were not New Zealanders). This made for a quiet and somewhat awkward seven hours. We visited many sites and stopped at numerous locations (too many really) but only had one meal stop all day. Our hosts did try very hard to make it a comprehensive scenic tour but the awkward silences and our need to keep asking questions about the locations, and the difficulty of hearing the driver without a microphone, meant we didn’t enjoy the day as much as we’d hoped.

    Beautiful place, guides had no knowledge about

    The places were very beautiful but the guides didn’t have any knowledge about any place. They just had some photos of some movie scenes which were shot in some of the nearby areas. It maybe because they’re not kiwis so they didn’t know anything, they had to learn everything. They covered all the spots which was nice, but it’s just that they didn’t know anything about any place.

    Dear Princy Thanks for your review. You have joined our this tour on 25th June. Kindly note that our guide was showing you world famous The Lord Of the Rings Movie Locations but you don't know even the name of the movie as you have't written in your review which shows the your lack of knowledge. You can still search on Google about the things, which our guide told you and shown to you. We would also like to inform you that on the same day tour your co passenger has given us 5 star for the same tour. Ms. Rosela from Philippines Booking Ref: DVNG19X1785308 We strongly believe that your review is totally wrong and misguide for other people.
