Gordon, our guide and driver could not have provided a more enjoyable, comprehensive, informative and accommodating morning for our group. His local knowledge and driving skills combined into a first class commentary for the entire journey through spectacular scenery and jaw dropping vistas. A trip well worth making for anyone visiting Queenstown.

Great co-passengers. Gordon was a wonderful driver and host. Restored schoolhouse was worth the visit.

If you are fortunate enough to have Wolfie as your driver and guide, then you are in for a treat. He picked us up from our hotel in a comfortable 4WD minibus before 8.30am and returned us nearly five hours later. Wolfie’s driving skills, intricate knowledge of the area covered and his own stories and memories was outstanding. He gave us regular stops for photo opportunities and even offered to take snaps himself if he thought that he was in a better position. Thoroughly recommended.
