Our coach driver Allegra made this tour spectacular. She was a wealth of tourist knowledge & a happy young lady. The places we stopped at on the way were stunning, the cruise was fantastic & the plane ride back had stunning views with great commentary from Rob the pilot. Highly recommend!
Personal touch was very nice

We paid extra for this tour as it clearly says its a small group and small boat Whilst the ride to and from was excellent, Mrs Do of Holland our driver and guide was extremely kind and significantly informative and accomadating. One of our mates threw up.and she helped to clean. She done great stops and gave us great insights However at Milford we were put on a huge boat with hundreds of other people. This was no small group nor small boat. It was the normal boat everyone was comming and just buying tickets at the counter The boat was cramped. No space to menouver and take pics I regret unfortunately for paying so much. I could have saved easily $60 ×5 on a normal trip booking. I paid the extra for a smaller exclusive tour
