We went to Glenorchy and Skippers in New Zealand on 6th Feb 2024. This we did from our hotel in Queenstown. It was around 7 hours of photography tour and we loved every bit of it. Skippers and Glenorchy are in opposite directions from Queenstown and the landscape in both these places is also different from one another. Skippers has rugged , canyon like landscape and Glenorchy is lakes, meadows, hills (typical of South island) . Road to Glenorchy has several super beautiful places where you will be compelled to take snaps. The scenery is so amazing that we can't believe we went to those places when we look at the photos today. We went halfway towards Paradise from Glenorchy and out there was a place where we found just us and sheep and beautiful landscape and fresh air.  Our Tour Guide Aistl is very joyful, talkative, knowledgeable and helpful. She treated Me and My wife like old friends. We had one of the most enjoyable times with her on the 20 day New Zealand and Australia Trip. She called us a day in advance and confirmed the participation. Then she asked us where we wish to travel from Queenstown. She recommended Skippers for its different landscape. In Skippers she took us to those scenic hill tops and herself walked to a nearby hill top (actually top of a canyon) walking in her flip flops and took several wonderful photos using our camera. My wife wanted to drive the car in NZ (she has an INTL license) and Aistl gladly obliged. Aistl would not let a moment of boredom come with her interesting stories about life in NZ, her home country and our own culture. It was fun filled 7-8 hrs with her with several photographs. We would certainly recommend this tour for the guide and the different scenary

It was a pleasure to be able to meet Aiste and spend a full day taking pictures around Otago with her. I knew I would only have a limited amount of time in the area and she was flexible in working with me in setting a start time and figuring out where I wanted to go and my photo priorities. She was even willing to start super early in the morning to do astrophotography but I had already captured some Milky Way shots earlier in the trip. She picked me up from my hotel and we headed to Moke Lake before sunrise which had beautiful mist over the water and glassy reflections (see the attached picture which she took using my iPhone while I was messing with the ND filters on my camera). We then headed up to Glenorchy after breakfast, before ending the day in Skippers Canyon, where rental cars are banned given the steep dropoffs and narrow roadway (I am glad I wasn’t driving). It was well worth being with someone who really knew the area and timing of the best photos; often we were leaving places just as others were showing up. As a solo traveler interested in seeing as much as possible in a limited time frame it was well worth it. I was able to spend as much or as little time taking pictures as I wanted to without feeling like I was rushing anyone else, and she had good suggestions regarding composition and technical aspects of landscape photography. Aiste is very personable and we had plenty to talk about during the drives between photo opportunities (and she would stop if we saw anything interesting too).

First time to Queenstown n south island without a car. Aiste is professional and helpful, giving advice on route planning, punctual, time saving with very efficient working pace, sharing her professional photography skills to us, help us with shooting at the best spot, even we only got iphone with us. Within a day we covered most beautiful parts of Queenstown and nearby places, avoid the crowd and enjoy the scenic views. At the end of the day, we were given a small kiwi gift,that was so thoughtful and sweet of her! Not to mention her good driving skills and nice car which is safe,new and clean.we will definitely refer her to anyone who wanna enjoy yr holiday with nice photos back home ! Perfect n superb!

Aiste was incredibly helpful when I first reached out and described what I was looking for, and asked what she thought would be the most suitable package. I ended up purchasing a full day photography tour for my brother and partner, both people who knew their way around a camera and enjoyed photography as a side hobby. To begin, choosing to gift someone an experience as special and thorough as this is the best decision you can make. To learn lifelong skills in great company whilst visiting many of New Zealand’s most beautiful spots (both tourist places and not!) is invaluable. Aiste immediately gathered information from me regarding their level of experience, and I left it up to her to plan destinations. They both came back beaming and ecstatic for days following. They took lifelong skills from it (despite thinking they knew a pretty decent amount before going in!), Aiste adapted to this and provided a high level of expertise. She not only showed them great photo spots, but taught them about framing photos, lighting, and editing, all with step by step examples and letting them try their own. Finally, I must also mention how Aiste so kindly extended the time of their tour and was flexible regarding weather and its impact. She was under no obligation to do this and it did not go unnoticed. What an amazing experience, and a gift that definitely keeps on giving. I could not recommend Aiste more. Thank you Aiste!

Our two days with Aiste were one of the best holiday experiences we've had. Part of our trip was to do product photography with the stunning scenic views of Queenstown as the backdrop. Aiste exceeded all of our expectations! Friendly organised and straight up sweetest person. Our day through Skippers Canyon - a road I'd never attempt to drive myself she took us expertly and safely. She knew all the best spots, made us the most incredible lunch and even popped into a few photos herself as a model! We will be back to Queenstown again and a day with Aiste will be first on the list. 5 Stars easily :) (New Zealand wool blankets from Fresh Retro Love)
