Great day spoilt by very wet weather. The visibility was restricted due to the rain which prevented a full appreciation of the views. Full credit to our guide who did his best to keep everyone involved in the tour under difficult circumstances. The train was excellent. Recommend this tour.

Really worthy the train experience ! Train Tickets arranged by the organisers . Our guide Anuj was excellent, attentive , providing with useful info and dealing with our requests ! Big thank you ! The return by minivan was also pleasant . we stopped in 5-6 interesting and picturesque places for a break and photos !

The train trip was shorter than we expected and it was raining heavily when we disembarked at Arthur Pass. The tour organizer worked very hard and tirelessly to overcome the weather problems with some short walks and his expert commentary about the Southern Alps etc A walk around Castle Hill rocks was enjoyable. Overall, I think the total cost of around $750 for 2 people was too high given we had to purchase our own lunch. In my opinion, the tour was over priced by around 20% particularly given we only went half way on the train.
