  Kelvin was a fantastic toyr guide and driver. He was so calm when things didn't go according to plan, too. I would totaly trust him to live in my apt. in Sweden by himself wile I'm in my koloni summer house twenty minutes away in the city. The bus rides went by so fast. There was comfort, many things to see, and good music. I loved having two days alone in Queenstown. I had fancy seafood and a pavlova by the lake, plus my American Starbucks. I loved lamb twice that was included for me. I felt like it became my own trip despite not feeling like any of the much younger tripmates became my friends. It went by so fast, and I am back in Christchurch.

  The problem with the tour was how it was setup there were times where it would be 10 hours driving. Or franz josef to queenstown at 9 hours so the heli hikers were rushed. Also the tour mistakenly said that food was included in one instance however it was not and instead of sacrificing another paid for meal we had to pay for it. As this was the tour operators fault not a mistake on our part. Lunch breaks and dinner are extremely short at times sometmes with 20 mins it is not enough time for a sit down meal so you end up always eating fast food or bakery items which is unhealthy and boring. However some stopovers are not so scenic locations can drag to 45 to 1.5 hours. Accomodations were fine however our queenstown accomodation was next to a nightclub so music was blaring from 9pm to 4am every night. Alot of prices for optional activities are outdated by 50 to 150$ so it needs to be updated. And it was required to be booked personally by yourself not the tour guide like other tour companies. Yet they still require the booking number to claim commission. Overall not a good experience due to the poor scheduling between towns, outdated information and food being an after thought. Will be using different tour operators due to the experience had with topdeck.

  We had the best guide and driver: knowledgeable and friendly, who made sure that everyone had the best time they could (Taimi and Leigh- you're fantastic!). There was just enough downtime (but never time to be bored) and excellent included and optional activities!

  It was a well-organized tour. Our guide was fun, caring and very thorough with everyday activities. It's an amazing first group tour experience.
