From when I booked the customer service was excellent, keeping me informed along the way. The flight was terrific and the pilot Michael was very informative and professional. Great flight and can recommend!
Wonderful trip highly recommended!
My partner and I went on the Exploration Cruise and we couldn't have enjoyed it more! Everything is five stars: the hospitality, the food and drinks, the walk through the beautiful Fiordland National Park, and the overall experience. We absolutely loved it and we can't wait to come back. Thank you so much George and Adam!
For an engineer like me I was amazed at the walkway construction inside the caves. I would have loved to have seen a video of its construction. And installation. What a job. The Glow worm description talk was so interesting Est (Est)and informative. We loved the trip on the way to the caves. A real highlight of our South Island tour.
Absolutely amazing way to experience lake Te Anau. George and Adam were very dapper in their outfits, very welcoming hosts and made our trip a very special birthday celebration. Thank you
Thanks George and Max. Thoroughly enjoyable time we had. The Forest walk is stunning. Highly recommended.
Very good hospitality. Good food, good view, nice walking track. I learn more about Te Anau from this tour. Fantastic 3 hr. If you have time u should do it.
An experience that we will always fondly remember. The hospitality and knowledge of the crew are second to none.
We had an intimate group of 16 tour mates and it was an absolutely wet and cold day. Not surprising as it rains 200 days in Te Anau, however, our thoughtful guide Jonathan has made our trip relatively enjoyable. He made some timing adjustments so that we do not meet groups from Queenstown and thus have a less crowded cruise journey. Umbrellas were provided for the stopovers. Lunch, scones & hot drinks provided was delicious and timely. Throughout the car ride, Jonathan shared many interesting information about Fiordland and answered any questions posted to him with good humour.
Highly recommend this tour. We had Jamie as our guide and he was fantastic and very knowledgeable. We stopped at lots of places on the way to Milford and got introduced to Naughty Nigel, the Kea. Morning tea and lunch is very satisfying.
Stephen our driver and tour guide, was such an awesome guy! We were in awe and it was so inspiring seeing our country, the beautiful landscape and nature through his eyes, alot of knowledge and history...Highly recommended Fiordlands Tours from Te Anau 👍
A really great way to see Milford Sound and surrounds. We had an excellent tour guide with 22 years of experience who knew all the great spots and photo stops with a wealth of local knowledge which was very interesting. The picnic lunch was great with gluten free options offered. The cruise was also spectacular with sightings of seals, a lone penguin and even some dolphins!! A must-do.
Karlyn was our driver and he was fantastic. His commentary and experience with the area was noticeable and he kept us entertained for the whole 10 hours of the trip. The day was an incredible and one we won’t forget and it will draw us back again.
I did this tour with my elderly Mum and we both had such a great time. Lots of photo stops along the way, yummy date scones for morning tea and very knowledgeable, entertaining guide. I felt like they really cared about giving their guests good memories. Highly recommend ?
We had an awesome day. Our guide, Jamie, gave an interesting commentary with snippets of local knowledge added in. He had an obvious interest in the nature and bird life around. Delicious morning tea and lunch were provided in an idealistic picnic setting. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour.
My wife and I recently had a very enjoyable trip from Te Anau to Milford Sounds. Our tour guide, Ray, has a wealth of knowledge about this region. We had frequent photo stops and visits to waterfalls and other places of interest. The scons at morning tea were a treat! We had a great and enjoyable day. By driving to Milford Sounds ourselves we would have missed out a lot. This company can be highly recommended - a must do for anyone wanting to experience a Milfords Sounds road and boat trip.
We had a great experience and pretty good deal via Bookme. The bus we used is brand new, spacious, and we had a smooth ride which is really handy for a whole day tour. Milford sound tour is a must of you're going to be in this side of New Zealand.
Long coach trip but very informative and well worth it.
Thank you very much for a gorgeous day. Stephen our driver was very friendly, polite, helpful and knowledgeable. We will recommend your company to our friends.???
It was really nice :)
We were so glad that we had booked with VIP Milford!!! Mark, our guide and driver, was absolutely fantastic. There was a delay on the road because of snow conditions. Guess what? Mark took us to some "bonus" areas with wonderful scenaries before resuming to our drive to Milford Sound. The cruise was excellent. The buffet lunch was nice (and well coordinated). We would recommend VIP Milford again. Many thanks for our wonderful memories of New Zealand (particularly Milford Sound). Minh, Belinda, Alexander and Isaac.
Absolutely amazing experience ! Great deal for such a nice trip! Definitely Recommend VIP sound Milford cruise ! 5 stars!!
I took up VIP Milford shuttle from Te Anau to Milford Sound Cruise by Real Journey. VIP Milford driver Mark was really informative and shared a lot of information along the shuttle journey despite it was a foggy morning and we could not see anything. The only thing I would like to comment is on the Real Journey Cruise where we could not hear the English guide talking when we were having our lunch in the cruise, the voice was too soft and unclear.
Everything was perfect with this trip from the coach to the cruise, the passengers to the food. Mark, our driver n guide, was one of the nicest persons I’ve ever met. Such a delight to be on this tour!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, way better than being in a giant bus with a ton of people. The cruise was incredible and our local driver was very knowledgeable
excellent service and it is one of the highlight of our trip
Even though it rained all day so our views were a little limited, it was a wonderful day out with great commentary and sight seeing. The picnic lunch was great also. Highly recommended.
I am really grateful that the tour was set up even there was only 2 guests on the van. That was a beautiful sunny day when we were in Milford Sound, so lucky. The sceneries with waterfalls, mountains, creeks, and the snow left me a deep impression, so as the excellent introduction and guidance given by our tour guide Justine. The cruise started early enough so there was not crowded at all in the ship. Strongly recommended. Thank you!
The whole family had an awesome day. The vip tour is the best way to get the most out of your trip. Our Driver Rhys was so knowledgeable and knew the best spots, as well as good timing of the whole trip. If you drove yourself you would miss all of that. Such an awesome day and everything was with ease. We were extremely lucky too.! The weather turned it on for us- raining at the best times and holding off at the right times. The rain brought out all the cascading waterfalls. We even got to get close to some seals and dolphins on the cruise (perks of being on a small cruise), and if you’re game you take a dip under a waterfall on the cruise too. A must do and we all wish we could go back some day soon with VIP Milford
Great host, comfortable bus trip, beautiful scenery and that all before you even get to the boat. Once on the Real Journeys cruise the Milford Sounds scenic cruise was everything we could have dreamed of. Even with rain and wind was such a breathtaking trip. Loved every moment. Would go back again and again. A must do for visitors and locals like. A+++++ ❤️
The best way to do it!! We had all the stops to our selves as your set off before the influx of Queenstown coaches. great local knowledge and the best stops along the way. Highly recommend.
