Reviews: Queenstown: Skippers Canyon Goldrush Highlights Tour
Guest User2026-01-09
★★★★★Koreans looking for a tour in Queenstown... This is the place. A Korean audio guide is provided throughout the tour. Honestly, even if you speak English to some extent, you'd probably miss 70% of the professional commentary. But this tour offers a detailed and expert explanation of Queenstown's gold rush history and Skippers Canyon, perfectly recorded by a professional audio guide, not a low-quality AI translation. Listening to the in-depth Queenstown gold rush history while taking in the scenery through the window and comparing past and present photos from the expert guide was truly like time travel in Queenstown. Skippers Canyon is inaccessible by rental car, so this professional tour was a must-do. If you're visiting Queenstown, I highly recommend Skippers Canyon, especially if you enjoy exploring cultural heritage sites while listening to commentary! Of course, you can also change to the music channel (one headset provided per person) and listen to your own music as you go. You can enjoy the Shotover River and the Remarkable Mountains while riding, and the scenery outside the window is truly amazing. And the tour guide is super friendly and great!!! Another great thing is that this tour started last summer, so word of mouth hasn't spread yet, so you can tour as if you're chartering a car with just your group. It feels like a private tour!! Even though it was just the two of us, the guide worked really hard to make the tour enjoyable. And another adorable thing☆☆☆☆☆ is the dog, Aster!!!! The tour guide's pet dog is so gentle, and you can even get out of the car and take pictures with him. I highly recommend it🥹😍😍 And another great part of the tour: at the end, we had a beer at a pub that's been around since the 1800s, just like gold rush miners!! The guide asked about drinks during the tour, and there were various choices. I tasted four beers, and they were seriously delicious. My eyes widened after the first one. I highly recommend choosing beer. This is a must-do tour in Quinta.

I enjoyed the tour. As a newbie I felt like it’s the right way to immerse yourself in this kind of activities. The guides were amazing, the driver was out of this world and the activity was super fun.

We had a great time on this trip. Abii our bus driver and guide was excellent. He gave us great knowledge of the areas we drove passed and stopped at, along with instructions to make the trip run as smoothly as possible. If you’re in the South Island of New Zealand, a Milford sound tour is a must!
