Traveler Reviews

We enjoyed the trip immensely from start to finish. Even though the weather was variable it couldn’t dampen our enthusiasm for the majestic scenery seen from the bus and boat. The driver was very friendly and considerate and made the tour enjoyable for everyone.

Our guide Tania (the crazy cat lady) was great value. fun, informative and looked out for each person on the tour. Loved this trip.

Awesome tour & tour guides. Our driver Carl from Queenstown to Milford was awesome,friendly & very accomodating. Made our tour one of our best to date. Made us & everyone else on the tour feel inclusive. Great job Carl keep up the good work

Seeing the scenery from the glass top bus but also sailing under the waterfall. Tania our Altitude tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and roads. At the same time being personable with a great sense of humor. The transport was 5* extremly comfortable and clean. Thanks Altitude Toyrs and Mitre Peak for an awesome day!

Excellent day out. Our driver, Roland, was awesome. He provided so much information and made some great stops along the way. The trip was perfectly planned and so well run. Would highly recommend.
