Better than expected
The photos do not do it justice. We spent far longer here than we planned to. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Private guide in Queenstown: the Riverside Walk walk
A private guide who knows Queenstown properly — a lake between mountains, and the birthplace of the bungee jump. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Queenstown for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Below expectations
Poorly organised on the day. The staff seemed unsure of the schedule themselves. Went as a group of four and everyone was happy.

Fine overall
It was okay. Worth doing once, but I would try something different next visit. The children loved it, which is the real test.
