South Island tour

We saw a lot today but seemed very rushed at all stops. Juliana did a great job. Would have liked more interaction with her at the stops rather than her just being our bus driver. The only negative thing that we have to report is about the bus. It was not good temperature regulation—too hot or too cold. The sound system was terrible for guests in the back of the bus and the drop off could be improved for guests especially after 10 hours sitting on the bus.

Could have been amazing had it not been for the weather

The itinerary sounds amazing. Unfortunately, the day we went, it rained almost the entire day. It only stopped raining at the last stop, the waterfall where you can walk behind, which was quite impressive to do. The glacial lagoon and the black sand beach would have been beautiful during sunny conditions, but we were being pelted with rain, so spent all of 2 minutes there. Denis was the driver, tour guide and entertainer. He tried to engage with our group but I dont think most of the people on the tour understood English very well. Other than that, it was fine. Am sure it would have been amazing if we had better weather.
