Amazing Landscape

Even though our guide dods not normally drive to Milford. She was really informative and we had a great day. Would recommend the smaller Bus. It's much more personal and more enjoyable

Stress free

I cancelled the trip in the end because of reported road closure and I booked Doubtful Sound instead. So, why are you giving 5 stars you rightly ask? When people like myself look at reviews it's nice to know how companies handle cancellations or change requests. So my fellow travellers I want to tell you Small coach and Cruise were GREAT!So gracious in their response and efficent handling of the details. Thanks to BookMe also for working with them in harmony. Nice to know when you're deciding who to book.

Okej

The book.me send us the wrong time, so we go there and the bus was gone! Lucky for us the lady in the deak helped us! Very nice. And I would not call this a small Cruise. We were around 100 people
