Guided Tours in Queenstown

The Earnslaw was fabulous! I would recommend sitting upstairs at this time of year as downstairs is a bit colder. The ambiance upstarts with the guitar player was beautiful. I would also recommend their mulled wine, amazing! It unfortunately was raining when we did the farm tour, but we're still able to walk around as umbrellas were provided. The afternoon tea was another highlight. They do this very well serving club club sandwiches and sweet treats and scones with ham and cream, just like a high tea, but it is not brought to your table you go and get what you want. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip, we were three generations travelling together and we ALL loved it.

We enjoyed being able to see the engine from up close. There were a variety of places to sit and enjoy the cruise. We enjoyed listening to the piano player. We enjoyed drinking the mulled wine as it was a chilly winter's day. The afternoon tea at Walters Peak was very nice too.

This was a return visit for us after our honeymoon 15 years ago. The crew of the boat through to the tour guides were all friendly and knowledgeable. And the tour through the caves was a fun experience. We enjoyed it just as much a second time! There are stairs along the sturdy walkways, but it's an easy walk for most .. only two low spots that require ducking quite low, but nothing too arduous.

Loved the captain's commentary! Gave me a few good chuckles and provided lots of interesting facts about the area. Can only recommend it :)

The scenery was absolutely spectacular, loved the excellent commentary, and got sprayed by the waterfall, so I look 10 years younger! :) Free hot chocolate also hit the spot!

There are lots and lots of boats running every 10 minutes practically. They all do the same thing, same route as far I could tell. There are massive boats that hold 300+ people. This company have a small boat, we at times got really close to the cliffs for a close up of the seals or water fall. I don't think the bigger boats can do that. We were not over crowded and tea and coffee, hot chocolate was provided. We went on a dry sunny day and it was cold, but we were on the top level on the outside of the boat. The inside was warm. The best view on the boat is the front but you do get wet, so wear lots of layers and a raincoat and your set. The only thing I would have wanted more is rain, apparently if you go on a rainy day it's stunning.

The most breathtaking views ever! This is an amazing experience and it should not be missed. The cruise trip was such an unique experience and definitely one which though touristy, is NOT overrated. Cruise was on time, they served hot coffee, hot chocolate, tea on the cruise in a 2 hour ride. Captain's narration about Milford Sound was exceptional.

The view was fantastic and the guide was very good. We were told a lot of interesting things and I learned new stuff. Also everybody was very friendly and helpful.
