The train ride was beautiful. There is a narrated experience through headphones though the sound was a bit spotty and we missed some of the history and explanation. The train itself was very clean and comfortable. We took two hikes in the national park to waterfalls -- one was 15 min. and the other 45 min. They were moderately easy and we saw some beautiful scenery. One the way back we drove with a guide through Caste Hill and hiked there -- it is a short hike and a popular and beautiful spot.

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide, Mandy. She was knowledgeable and fun. The train trip, hiking and included lunch at a quirky restaurant made for a great experience.

We were lucky enough to have Peter as our guide for two different tours. First a half day tour of Christchurch where we were the only passengers. Peter made us so comfortable. By the end of the afternoon we had learned much about this delightful city and also felt as if we had made a new friend. We were so pleased when Peter picked us up today for our trip to Arthur's Pass. With only 2 other couples, we had a marvelous day exploring the magnificent scenery. Canterbury Trails treated us wonderfully including snacks and lunch. Peter really made the day perfect. We would definitely recommend these tours.
