Wonderful day out
It’s a wonderful day out. The train is comfy, clean and well organised with great service. The bus is fun with Arjun, who is an all-round terrific guide. He looks after everyone very well. The Southern Alps are incredible and the bus tour is really enjoyable. Even if the weather is bad, it’s still a great trip. Be sure to pack for wet weather though!

Great views from train.
The 2 1/2 hr train trip was lovely. Saw views that otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The stops on the return were just ok but had a great guide that did explain everything that we saw.

A really lovey day.
Pick up on time in a clean and comfortable people carrier/ mini van and returned us back to Christchurch at expected time.
The guide was excellent with really good knowledge and provided us with timely information.
Water and snacks were freely available
The itinerary was as stated with ample time for the planned walks.
The guide/driver was polite and respectful at all times and ensured everyone was comfortable.

Castle Hill was an unexpected highlight. Our guide was great. It was nice to walk after sitting on the train.

The we almost missed the cruise ship but what an adventure.
It is a great scenic experience. Our driver Jude was excellent. I would definitely take a couple of waters and a snack because they are not included. You do stop for lunch which was great but take snack if you need it. The views were great and as I stated before Jude was great.

We had a wonderful tour...
We had a wonderful tour with a private driver who took us to Arthur’s Pass, Devil’s Punchbowl Waterfall—where he even hiked up to the top with us—Castle Hill Rocks, where he also let us hike up into the formations, and stops at Lake Pearson, Lake Lyndon, and Cave Stream Scenic Reserve.

The tranzalpine ride was...
The tranzalpine ride was worth it and saw some wonderful scenery. Unfortunately due to heavy rain we could not do the devils punchbowl walk. The lunch was good. Castle hill was a photogenic place. The couple who run Toby hill farm were very friendly and warm people and we got good insight regarding sheep farming. Alexander the guide was very nice and accommodated everything despite the weather.
Would absolutely recommend this tour.

Brilliant way to see Arthur’s Pass with train and tour
A really great way to explore the Arthur's Pass. We took the train from Christchurch to Arthur’s Pass then were picked up by our fantastic guide to explore the Devils Punchbowl Arthur’s village Castle Hill, Pearson Lake and more.
Great information from the guide
