즐거웠어요!

테아나우숙소 앞까지 픽업 왔고 기사님이 밀포드사운드로 이동하는 내내 주변에 대해 설명해주셨어요(무슨말인지는 못 알아들음) 친절하시고 좋았습니다

Hello. Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we only have English speaking driver/guides on our Coaches, however the scenery is spectacular and speaks for itself! We hope you enjoyed your day out to Milford Sound. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)

편안하게 다녀왔습니다

퀸즈타운에서는 새벽에 출발하지만 티아나우에서는 7:45출발이라 여유가 있었습니다. 밀포드로 가는 길에 들리는 곳도 뛰어난경관을 제공하네요. 직접 운전하시는것보다 편안하게 다녀오시길 추천합니다 그리고 런치도시락도 좋습니다.

Hi Young Jun Lee Thank you for your review. You certainly had an early start from Queenstown but it was obviously worth it to see our spectacular scenery and we are thrilled you enjoyed your day in the comfort of our luxury bus. Kind regards VIP Milford Team :)

편안했어요.

긴 자동차 여행중 직접 운전하지 않아도 되서 선택했어요. 특히 북미를 통해 저렴히 구매했고 운전도 잘 해주시고 설명도 잘 해주시고 평탄히 구경했어요. 그리고 크루즈에서 먹을 런치박스 인당10$에 추가했는데 크루즈 안에서 보니 17$에 파는거더라구요. 생각보다 푸짐하고 물도 줘서 좋았네요.점심을 준비할 필요없이 돈 쓰자 란 생각으로 선택했는데 의외로 푸짐해서 좋았어요~~vip혜택인듯하네요.

Awesome experience

Prompt pick up by friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guide. The mini van was in great condition and very comfortable. The guide made a few stops, pointing out places, plants, geographical facts along the way and gave plenty of photo opportunities. The cruise on Milford Sound was fabulous. We were met by friendly staff, they gave a great tour. The boat was clean and spacious. After the cruise the mini van was waiting and we enjoyed another good journey home. Definitely recommend this trip!

Wet

Unfortunately weather conditions prevented us from going on the cruise when we arrived in Milford Sound, however, the mini bus ride there and back were really good and saw lots and learned lots. Stephen our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly and made the trip very pleasant in awful weather conditions. A refund was organized straightaway and was impressed with the whole process Would certainly book this company again.
