Scenic sightseeing tour. Enjoyed - We found Umesh Yadav, a good guide and driver. It was a good decision to take a private tour. We adjusted our stops basis the time available. Best, Umesh was not in a rush at all. He recommended a good Indian Restaurant at Sunmer Beach. Our last stop was the Air Force Museum. Surprisingly a good place to visit. As always, we did not have too much time here. Umesh stayed very close to the Museum. He asked us if we would like homemade Masala Chai. We immediately said Yes. It was so kind of him and sweet. While we saw the Museum, he went home and brought us a thermos of hot tea with 2 cups. Thank you so much, Umesh.

No response from tour operator - Attempts to contact our tour operator have been ignored. With only 2 weeks to go before our booking, and in light of other recent reviews of this company, we were left no choice but to cancel our tour and book with another company.

Avoid! - Well in advance, booked via Viator and worked itinerary directly with provider via WhatsApp. Last thing they told me was “no worries” two days before the tour. They canceled the morning of the tour with generic email and ghosted my follow up. I’ve booked a lot of tours and have never had anything this bad done before. Avoid them!

WORST TOUR & TOUR GUIDE!!! - The guide/driver that we had for Christchurch was more than 30 minutes late picking us up, then was the worst guide we ever had on any tour anywhere. Just wanted to dump us off in a line for a gondola and did not have tickets for us, just wanted to dump us off at museums. Provided zero information on the area other the most minimal facts. He was terrible. We should really get a refund for this "tour." It was absolutely the WORST we've ever had.
