Absolutely awesome day enjoyed every minute... would highly recommend to everyone. Paulie our bus driver/guide was an absolute delight from his in depth knowledge and love of the area to his witty Sense of humor and personality. So glad we decided to use awesomenz as our guide to Milford Sounds. Thanks so much
Totally memorable

The trip itself was very nice. Lots ot great scenery and the bus driver is very knowledgeable about the history of the places. But something I would like to mention was about the meal on the boat. We (4 of us) were charged $20 each on our prepaid invoice but upon sailing, our names were not on the list. So we end up not being given the 'lunch' which was supposed to be included in the amount we paid. NOW, I WANT TO ASK FOR A REFUND OF $80 (4 x 20), the amount we paid for the 'lunch' we never get.
Great tour, definitely recommend to visitors.

We were fortunate to have superb weather. The bus was very comfortable and our guide Paulie, imparted lots of history and geography of the area. A knowledgeable and interesting guide, with a great sense of humour, Paulie is a great asset to your company.
All the scenery was wonderful, plenty of opportunity to take photos.
The cruise was also great, We were lucky to see baby seals, and the staff were also very knowledgeable and attentive. Perfect timing.
Excellent

I booked under viator and the operator was the AwesomeNZ. They literally live by that name. It was really AWESOME! We were coming from Queenstown and bus picked us up, the bus can also pick people from their hotels. Travel from Qtn to Milford sound was very long but you will not feel it coz our driver, Paulie, is very informative and he tells a lot of stories. All of his amazing adventures and his jokes were funny too🤣 Along the way, we stopped in every beautiful spots, took photos and even tried some fresh water👌
The Milford sound cruise was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Crews were amazing and the views were spectacular! Every cent is worth it and people should try this while in town😉
What a fantastic trip....

What a fantastic trip. From start to finish this trip was superb. What made it real special was having such a great tour guide. Dave Jackson your a legend! If your thinking of going, make sure you jump on board with Dave and experience one of the most beautiful trips ever. The scenery is stunning and the commentary along the way is fantastic.

This was just an awesome day. Paulie our driver was really friendly and full of information about the country we were driving through. Had some nice stops to admire the spectacular scenery. Then the Much Cruise captain and his crew were brilliant. Fjord (his real name) was friendly and informative and got us close enough to the bank we could touch the southern rata growing out of the rocky side and got soaked under a waterfall. It was truly magical day. Thanks guys and AwesomeNZ for an unforgettable experience.
Great location, average tour organization

The bus arrived about 30min late for pick up (tells you to be there 15 min before, so we waited for 45min in cold), had to call the company twice while waiting to make sure they didnt miss us.
Bus ride itself was okay, but "complimentary" wifi only worked for about an hour on the way there, did not work at all on the way back, if you are going to advertise that you have wifi, wish it works for the whole duration of tour.
Cruise was good and is worth going for. Milford Sound was great and so stunning.
Lunch was not something you should count for, we had to buy additional food as it was so bad and small.
Worth it

It is a trip that is a must do if u are in Newzealand.. coming from US I felt it was like Lake Tahoe and Niagara combined. It was a very well coordinated tour and worth its price . Only thing was we missed the original trip and had to take a sundowner which didn’t include lunch like our original one but we were glad that we got to have the tour..
