On a 3 week trip to both New Zealand Islands we had the good fortune to be booked into a Canterbury Trails tour from Queenstown to Christchurch via Mt. Cook. Cantebury Trials provided a safe and comfortable van with an interesting itinerary. Our guide was Hugo Flaus. We had many guides in our NZ time but Hugo Flaus set the standard for informed, flexible, personable, with an instinct for what we might enjoy beyond then providing it. Yes, Arrowtown was an interesting way to begin but he knew the very scenic "back way" to get us to Cardrona Hotel for lunch. He knew the dairy farmer who would welcome an impromptu visit for milking time. He easily explained any question we had ranging from milk versus wool exports, possum fur collection for Merino wool, to Maori history and flat white coffees. Hugo Flaus, as guide for Canterbury Trails tours, made this an extraordinary two days on the road across New Zealand's South Island's fine valleys/lakes/mountains/and agricultural planes.

This was a spectacular trip. Sue was our guide and her local knowledge gave great color commentary to the trip in addition to her local knowledge of the perfect places to stop for short visits. Our desire for this trip of a lifetime to New Zealand was to see New Zealand and with the tours by Canterbury Trails we most certainly did. Very enjoyable and a comfortable ride.

This trip was wonderful, but the factor that made it extraordinary was our guide, Hugo. We had many guides in NZ, who ranged from tolerable to great, but Hugo was in a class by himself. He is warm, interested, responsive, and deeply informed about everything. We saw and learned things we never would have without his quick intelligence and love for what he was showing us. We would have booked him for a multi-week tour if we could. Do yourself a favor and ask for him by name.

This day may very well go down as the most pleasant day of our trip. We met Dave at 8 am and were reluctant to say goodbye to him in the late afternoon. Intelligent, articulate, congenial, accommodating, Dave guided us through stunning landscapes all the while with interesting commentary. He handled the Mercedes SUV as if he were a career pilot. We loved the experience and give Canterbury Trails our highest recommendation.
