    Itinerary was OK but should include more options for people not participating in the included tours. The guide was very informative and helpful - highly recommended.

    A wonderful tour of the South Island under the guidance of the brilliant Jacob Carr. Amazing scenery with a warm and friendly environment in the knowledgeable hands of Jacob, who ensured the requirements of the group were first and foremost.
