They transported our bridal party on our wedding day, and our driver Steve was fantastic!   He arrived early, the vehicle was beautiful and clean, and he was able to pivot quickly and divert to Wanaka airport to get us to the helicopter (due to weather clearing enroute).  Their communication was always prompt and their pricing very competitive.  Thanks guys for the important part you played in our wedding.  Highly recommended. Jenny and Henry

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today we had an amazing day. We toured three vineyards’ cellar doors and enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Black Estate (2 hats) within the Waipara Wine Region. Limousine South made all of the arrangements for us and John was a delightful chauffeur.  We learned a lot about the area and saw some of the delightful coast line on our way out to the vines.  I highly recommend Limousine South for your next adventure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a very good time travelling with Limousine South for 7 days as a family of 5 and had the best guide - Clive. Clive is very experienced in his job as well as in life, and often shared nuggets of information as well as cultural history with us. He is very efficient and takes initiative and one time, he even unloaded all our luggage and placed them in the lobby while we were doing an activity, so as to save time. He is also very pleasant to travel with and I highly recommend him if you’re looking to enjoy your tour and learn a lot about New Zealand!

Simon was a top-notch guide. Friendly, organized and knowledgeable. He gave us a regional tour, plus two vineyard stops. Would use him again.
We did the Queenstown Discovery Private Tour. Steven, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the whole experience. Great value for money and we would highly recommend.
Do not hesitate to hire this company if you need to see Queenstown and the surrounding areas! Stephen our driver/guide spent two days with us teaching us so much about this beautiful country! He was prompt, He catered to our needs, was a wonderful, safe driver, and made us laugh! He was also so patient to put up with our endless questions and stories! If you’re lucky enough to get Stephen than you’re lucky enough! Thanks for an awesome two days!
We had Ian take us for a full day of sightseeing. He was warm, funny, an excellent driver and made sure we had a terrific day.
Highly recommend!
