Smart Tours - Milford Sound

A travel guide with a twist. Designed & created by professional tour guides. Their job has been to make sure the people on their tours get the best information and see the best sights. Now they’re giving you access to their insider knowledge.

Are you sick of all those Wikipedia based travel guides that just regurgitate what you can find online?

Do you really want to be reading a $30-50 travel guidebook, that’s out of date the day it’s printed, when you could be looking out the windows at the beautiful scenery?

Are you tempted to just jump on a tour bus so that you can get the real commentary about the places your going, but can’t stand the idea of being restricted to their timetable?

Enter Smart Tours.

Designed with you, the Self-Drive tourist, in mind. You get all the benefits of being on a bus tour but with the freedom of driving to your own schedule and stopping where you want for as long as you want.

And yes we also point out our favourite “hidden gems” that we know about and love, but don’t usually take the big groups to, so you’ll get to jump off the beaten track and really enjoy our beautiful country.

Unlike other audio guides on the markets our tours are free of ads, so any time you hear the intro music you know you’re about to learn something cool about the region.

***********
NB. This is our first release and currently only relates to the Queenstown to Milford Sound trip, we are working feverishly to bring you the rest of the country and will be releasing updates throughout the year.

Our audio commentary and stops need to be syphoned out of our tour guides heads, rather than just copy and pasted from online sources, giving you the best experience possible. This process takes time, but you can trust that when we do release new routes and itineraries they’ll be gold.

Also one of our team will visit and ensure the quality of all of the attractions, accommodation and food & drink outlets, so this database while small now, will be growing steadily over the coming months. But this gives you the peace of mind that everything in the app has a level of quality that you can rely on.
