Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★
