Trip with southern discoveries is absolutely fantastic. Yoda is a very good driver and tour guide who is very considerate. We had a good time and thank him for his hard work.

The Milford Sound Day Trip with Cruise was an unforgettable experience for me and my family. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire journey felt smooth, comfortable, and well organised. Our dependable driver, Brian, made the trip even better — expertly navigating the challenging roads while sharing interesting, relevant stories about the places we passed. We also appreciated how he confidently handled a few noisy passengers so everyone could enjoy the commentary. It was a relaxing, memorable day, and we will happily recommend this tour to our friends.

The tour was absolutely fantastic! Everything ran on time, the bus was new and comfortable, and Ian, our driver, was wonderful. He made the long journey very enjoyable by sharing the history and interesting stories about the places we visited. The boat was excellent, and we had the most amazing experience. The sightseeing was truly breathtaking, with incredible views throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour. We are a family of four, with children aged 17 and 12, and they loved it just as much as we did. It was a memorable experience for the whole family.

A spectacular day timed perfectly. Great stop overs and breathtaking views. I feel like I got my moneys worth. I also felt like I was in good hands with our driver, Dean. He was a legend! He drove safely and he was spitting fire facts and knowledge only a local would know. He shared so much about history, people, and animals, it made the bus ride that much more interesting on top of the epic views. Highly recommend for solo travellers like myself.

Best day of our New Zealand trip. Awesome views speak for themselves but the best part of the day was our tourguide Baruch, so much passion for the job, with loads of information and stories, it really made the long drive 10x better and I would highly recommend, although expensive, it is certainly worth the price, especially with a guide like Baruch.
