5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could leave 10 stars, I absolutely would! I booked the TransAlpine Tour for NZD 400, and I honestly don’t even know where to begin with my compliments. Starting with the booking experience: I started considering this experience very last minute and reached out via WhatsApp without really expecting a response. To my surprise, Parul replied very quickly and answered all of my questions with patiently. My location wasn’t ideal for the pickup times, but she immediately helped me find a solution by suggesting an Uber to the railway station, which I could make work. Even though I felt a bit bad messaging on a Saturday, she was incredibly welcoming and supportive even with my booking late at night . Now to the tour itself — absolutely spectacular! The stops were very well selected and we were able to enjoy some incredible scenery. Our guide for the day was Anuj, and after reading all the positive reviews about him, I can absolutely say that they are well deserved. He is amazing: polite, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. I absolutely loved his commentary. ❤️ He even made the effort to remember everyone’s names, which is something I’ve honestly never experienced on a tour before. Although lunch was not included, Anuj surprised us with chocolate and even snacks placed on our seats, so when we returned from our walks it felt like Christmas morning ❤️😄. I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of the entire experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone without hesitation and would happily do it all over again. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience ❤️
Excellent tour - highly recommended

5.00Wonderful, our guide Anuj was excellent. It was very well priced for a premium small group experience. Water, snacks, umbrellas all provided for. Quick timely response during the booking process as well.

5.00The 3 hr train ride to Authors Pass offered spectacular views. We met friendly, like minded travelers. A couple of the memorable hikes to the Devils Punchbowl Falls and Limestone boulders took a bit of hiking but they can also be enjoyed from the car park. The tour was well paced with well timed breaks to interesting spots. Our driver/guide was attentive and informative without droning on. We truly felt the whole experience was worth the time and money.
Wonderful day out

5.00It’s a wonderful day out. The train is comfy, clean and well organised with great service. The bus is fun with Arjun, who is an all-round terrific guide. He looks after everyone very well. The Southern Alps are incredible and the bus tour is really enjoyable. Even if the weather is bad, it’s still a great trip. Be sure to pack for wet weather though!
