    On our first visit, a young lady told us, that there is only one walk in Queenstown...?

    no maps, nothing, she told us, that we have to catch the gondola and then we could walk..... on our second visit, another lady gave us many informations, tips and maps from the area.

    Feel like they don't like the question, they just want us to book a walk.
