Good tour although poor weather at Milford Sound spoilt our overall experience, but not much you can do about that. The driver Brian was first class and probably the best tour guide we have ever had.

We had a great day. The driver was very informative and easy going even if a few other passengers drove him to distraction!! The cruise and lunch were great. The only dificulty we had was getting refreshments on the way. This operator seemed very disorganied! On the way back they were much better. Overall this was a wonderful experience. Thanks for your organisation.
