    The overnight cruise was great. However, we were disappointed that one of the other tours was canceled. While we were refunded for the cancellation that was only from RealNZ. It still seemed like there was money paid from the overall package through Tour Radar that was not refunded.

    · August 11th, 2023
    Enjoyed the DS experience! Amazing!! Only one suggestion. 1st driver did not make it clear that 1st stop was at Te Anau. I was sitting in back, with a handful of small active children and didn't hear much. I was to get off bus. I just followed everyone else thinking everyone was going to same DS tour. I ended up in Milford missing the Glow Caves. Driver, Johnny, was excellent! After bus stopped, he got up and made it very clear who was to get off bus at certion points. Made a big difference. I'm use to European tours where tour guide stays with you and all the people are going on same tour. 1st time in NZ...loved it. Also, must give shout out to Marissa, tour operator! She was excellent in her communications w/ me! Patience, kindness and cking in was above and beyond! Thank you, Chris
