We were fortunate to take the Best of Queenstown trip with Dan, who although apparently a "newbie" driver, did an excellent job of narrating our trip. In 4.5 short hours, we were able to see several views of Queenstown, bungee jumping, a jet boat on the river, a boat ride, and we even had a wine tasting at Church wines - which was excellent. Since we knew nothing about Queenstown, we would highly recommend this tour to familiarize yourself with the area.
