Phenomenal experience. I booked with Ian thinking that the single review for this tour was awful and largely out of curiosity to experience the worst possible viator experience. A complete surprise, Ian has tremendous knowledge and demonstrated exceptional aptitude, professionalism and was just an all round great guide. Really cannot recommend this highly enough, and I encourage others to check out Twin Harbours Tours and Transfers on TripAdvisor, where there are far more reviews/details. Ian's an older gentleman, but has foundational knowledge of New Zealand, especially of the local sailing scene, and each leg of the tour featured stories and analysis that went so much further beyond the typical tour guide experience. It was really a welcome family experience, and the luxury s class blowing cold air throughout the day frankly made me feel like a prince.
Thankyou Viraj, you are very generous...hope to see you again. . Cheers Ian
We were picked up at the Celebrity Solstice on October 18th by our driver. We enjoyed a leisurely drive around New Zealands rural and coastal areas while being filled in about New Zealands history that was hugely informative. A thourably enjoyable trip that ended up with a beautiful lunch on us. The driver then dropped us off by our request at the shopping area at the end of the tour. Great day, highly recommend this trip.
