The places were beautiful. but the trip overall was very rushed. On a number of occasions we would get to a destination late afternoon and then be on the road again midday the next day. There wasn’t enough time to explore and do things. We had four days in Queenstown which was nice but every other destination was rushed and there was no time to do anything. The itinerary also didn’t work and so we never had an idea or timeline of what was happening. The guide Bridgette was absolutely amazing! We hit gold with her she was insightful, funny, caring, and just such a great vibe. She was brilliant!
My trip was due to commence in Christchurch which was experiencing a red alert bad weather event. Most of the roads out of the city were blocked by floodwaters. The tour operator rearranged the trip resulting in a magical trip!
Alps 2 Ocean is a fabulous trip made even more special by the thoughtful and fun guides from the tour operator. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and have already recommended it to friends and family. You'll be getting more of us!
