밀포드사운드 소규모 투어

호텔 앞까지 픽업/드랍 다 해줍니다 물이랑과자, 점심까지 제공되어요 밀포드사운드 페리 선착장까지 가는 길에 유명 스팟들 다 볼 수 있어요 특히 John 추천합니다. 어쩌다보니 다른 투어에서도 가이드를 받았었는데 이번에도 함께 했어요. 지나가는 풍경들, 유명 스팟들에 관한 이야기를 접할 수 있어서 이해가 매우 잘 됐습다! 그리고 사진도 잘 찍어주셔요ㅎㅎㅎ 최고!

다시 한 번 경험하고 싶은 투어.

밴으로 픽업도 제시간에 해주셔서 감사하구요. 좌석도 큼직하니 넓어서 좋았습니다. 밀포드 사운드 가는길에 중요 포인트에 내려서 사진도 찍고 설명도 해주셔서 좋았습니다. 하루 투어인데 힐링 잔뜩 하고 왔습니다.
