We've done three days of guided triips with Trips & Tramps. All of them have been awesome and I still can't decide which on was the best. Our guide Steve learned us so much about the nature and the country and he's made our stay in the Fiordlands really good. More

I went on the Routeburn Track Guided Walk to Key Summit last month. It was very easy to arrange this walk via e-mail communication prior to leaving for New Zealand from The States. I had agreed to pay a "single supplement" to go on this walk if nobody else signed up to go on the date I desired but this... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our day out to Milford Sound. The best part of our day was travelling with Steve in the small, comfortable bus. Even though it was snowing, we still saw lots on our photo and sight seeing stops. Milford Sound was rather misty, but our bus trip home was filled with surprises as Steve gave us fun in... More

went on this trip today, at $324 for 2 not the cheapest available. The trip to Milford consisted of about 5 camera stops, a stop for coffee and stops to drop off newspapers and goods at various farms. There was very little commentary, very little information. All in all poor value for money, there is no reason why you cant... More

It saddens us to read you were disappointed with your day. Catering for small groups (on the day you travelled there was only one other couple) we do need to charge a bit more than the large bus companies which may carry 25 - 58 people on their coaches. Of note included in the cost was a free lunch, valued... More

I am writing this review belatedly but it has been on my "to do" list from the day we took the tour. My now husband & I recently completed a 9-month trip around the world. New Zealand was our second stop on the trip. Being on a tight budget, especially that early in the trip, it was definitely a splurge... More

Very reasonable and just a fantastic trip. I don;t usually do tours, as I find them to be too large and impersonal, but this was an exception. The staff at Trips and Tramps were absolutely amazing. Our group was only about 10, so it was the perfect size for everyone to socialize and get to know each other. the shuttle... More

Hi, I just got back from my trip across New Zealand. We did the Big Day Out Tour of Milford. Steve was our tour guide. The tour itself was personal! He gave great commentary and stopped at these beautiful locations and really gave us a great tour covering Milford. We drove into Milford and joined a Real Journeys Boat Cruise... More

We were very pleased to be in a small group, in a small bus. Steve made us all feel very at home. We enjoyed delivering the mail around the place - it made us feel part of and get a feel for the locality! We felt Steve tailored the day to suit us all and the weather conditions. We felt... More

We booked a Milford Sound Coach & Cruise starting from Te Anua. We were extremely lucky with the weather - sunshine all day with hardly a cloud in the sky, but I think we would have had a great day even in poor weather. The cruise part of the day uses a "Real Journeys" boat along with a lot other... More
