Had a fabulous 5 hours with Martin on Skippers Road in my visit to Skippers Canyon. The 5 hours with Martin was great value for money. Martin's knowledge of the area was excellent and I learnt a lot about the Canyon and it's history. I went there to see somewhere which is dificult to visit with out a 4WD.
I will gladly seek out Martin on my next visit to Queenstown.

Martin is the best guide I have ever met. He is a professional landscape photographer. He shared a lot of photography tips with us. He has a strong passion about landscaping photography. He is very knowledgeable about the local history. He told us a lot about the old gold mining days. He knows a lot of secret photo shooting spots and stopped the car several times to let us take photos. His driving skill is great. We felt very safe. His communication was great. We had very nice conversations with him. We liked his narratives very much! The Skippers Canyon itself is absolutely beautiful! The scenic road is gorgeous. The experience is amazing!

Martin gave a knowledgeable guided tour of the canyon focusing on photogenic sites, but with personal tips and shared experiences on photographic techniques. We ran overtime with no concern on his part. It was one f the highlights of our trip and we would recommend anyone interested in the experience whether or not they are serious photographers.

I am an avid photo/videographer, so it felt intuitive to me to get a local guide to take me down the scourge of the rental cars- Skippers Canyon.
Right from the very first moment I knew I had made a great choice. Martin is a professional who understands photography intimately. He was ready and accomodating and had great suggestions on opportunities for breathtaking photos. It was delightful to be with someone who got the same level of excitement out of the views. I honestly don't think it could've gone any better. Don't go on
a bus tour of Skippers. Hire Martin. You'll be glad you did. I know I'll be looking to hire him again next time I'm in town. Absolutely 28/10
