Customer Reviews
A full day of amazing scenery
We had a wonderful tour with Hugo. Everything was very well planned and executed. So convenient getting picked up at our Christchurch hotel, taking us to the train station in Christchurch and then meeting us when we arrived in Arthur Pass. Hugo was knowledgeable and shared points of interest with us throughout the day. He made us feel comfortable immediately. The train ride was great (loved that we had reserved seats and Hugo took care of getting our tickets), the stops we made after the train ride were excellent. Having lunch included is a nice touch- we even had tea/coffee and a snack in the afternoon (courtesy of Hugo) . Highly recommend this tour with Canterbury Trails.
One word - AMAZING!
We were very lucky to have our own personal guide with Manuela. She got us on the train with ease with many beautiful snaps from the train on the way to Arthur’s Pass. We had a couple of walks, lunch in the cafe - the scenery around us was amazing and Manuela was fun, informative and we’re very grateful for the experience.
