Reviews: Arthur's Pass Day Tour From Christchurch via Castle Hill
Guest User2026-03-30
It started off on quite a gloomy weather, visibility was low. Our guide, James, was pretty upbeat and proposed a work around on the spots that we are visiting such as some stops we can skip in the morning and do it on the way back in the afternoon where visibility would have been better as the weather warm up. At Arthur’s pass the trek that leaks to the waterfall was closed due to falling rocks, James was quick witted and resourceful to provide an alternative walk through the old coach road, and it was such an enjoyable walk through the past ! Thank you James for your enthusiasm and education to ensure all participants have an enjoyable and memorable time!

The driver/ tour guide was excellent, friendly, informative, interesting and not at all intrusive in enjoying the scenery around you and of course, importantly, a great driver/parker of the bus is some pretty busy tight spots. Loved the fact that water was provided and that he dropped us back at our pickup spot. Would definitely recommend and even do again myself.

Such a great experience. Our guide Nick was great! Super knowledgeable about geography and geology of the alpine region, gave us plenty of time at each spot and also worked with the group when we wanted to move on earlier. Train ride back was great, amazing seats they booked to make sure we were all going forwards so would have the best view and close to the back to go into open air car for best view. Overall great day

A grrat day out with adequate time for investigating at various lookouts and walking tracks. Interesting commentary and friendly bus environment. The highlight of our NZ trip for my partner.

Absolutely fantastic tour! The itinerary was a perfect balance of sight seeing and stops to break up the day. The train was a definite highlight for us, and not to be missed. Shoutout to Joel who was a fantastic tour guide, very engaging and friendly :)
