Sam was a brilliant guide. Loved the trip over to routeburn. Thanks Sam for showing us the library in glenorchy
They cancelled on us at last minute leaving us no time to find an alternativd
I was very pleased with the walk, Pam my guide was very knowledgeable in the area we walked and about the plants about us. The group size was just right and we all had a great time.
