Sightseeing Coach Tour
Kin Siu (Canada)
02/02/2020
Thank you very much for the seamless arrangement. Pick up from the hotel and a private transfer arranged and waiting for us at the departure point and ride us to the Christchurch Airbnb. The driver for the road trip was knowledgeable and professional. He provided adequate information regarding the arrangements and logistics, and at the same time give us an understanding of the habitats and culture of New Zealand in a friendly atmosphere. Although there are different groups joining in and leaving the coach, he was able to manage well (sure the admin. staff of your company has made lots of co-ordinations and arrangements) The driver was also attentive to group and individual needs; we were comfortable and secured .we were being taken good care of. However, the time allowed in Mt.Cook is only 1 1/2 hr which you can only finish lunch and washroom activities. It is mainly because much time was used to accommodate too many groups (different itineraries were included) in the trip. This should be improved, though the road has nice scenery.

The trip was well planned for us (group of 4 girls) and met with what we wanted. The choices of accommodation were also excellent. The cars were in great condition with easy process to pick up and drop off. We had a great time and thank you for organising this trip for us.

I really enjoyed the trip. It was professionally done. The transfers were quick and the actual boat trip on the Sound was amazing. We had wonderful weather. I also had great customer service when I booked the trip. Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful time and our couch driver, Ben was fabulous as his historical knowledge about the people, countryside, cities, legends and sites was unbelievable. Thoroughly enjoyable on our long couch rides which were however a little too long on two of the days. Especially the trip to Franz Josef glacier that we never got to see. Would have liked to have spent more time in Christchurch. Milford Sound and Tasman Glacier were highlights of trip. All the included meals were great and accommodated my vegan husband. Having breakfast available in the mornings was a savior. I think we would have enjoyed an additional day wine tasting in the Marlborough region. The people in NZ are very friendly and helpful. It's a beautiful country but there's no place like home.

This tour was a whistle stop tour of NZ going to many fabulous places. It was well organised with no hitches from start to finish. I am grateful we got to Milford Sound before the road was damaged by extreme rains. Now having done this tour I would like to return to some areas to see them in more depth.

Everything went as expected and everyone was very welcoming. The only thing I would advise is to exclude the Mitai Village which, to my taste, was very touristy, but people have different perspectives and it was obvious that some people enjoyed :-)

Friendly, knowledgeable guides who did their best to make our experience as interactive and fun as possible. Seeing icebergs up close and the glacier from the lake was a truly magical experience.

Sightseeing Hobbiton Tour
Name Withheld (Australia)
09/12/2019
Was mix up when we got to Hobbiton and we had to wait an hour before we went on the actual tour, half of our group went first. We were told we would have no time for shopping when we got back, so we had to pick what we wanted BEFORE we saw everything and carry it all around the walk with us, which was very annoying as some people bought a lot and it was heavy. Our bus driver was VERY chatty to the point of being irritating and the speaker in the bus kept going on and off which made it hard to understand what was going on. He was quite cheerful though, just very chatty about everything, obviously he enjoys his job. We would book with you again for sure.

Small Group Tour
Sally McNair (United States)

The tour was a perfect way to see a lot of New Zealand in only three weeks. We got a good look at both the North and South Islands. The pace was perfect, with some free time to do things that may not have appealed to everyone. Our tour leader and driver were amazing, both native Kiwis ,with tremendous insight and lovely personal stories to enhance the daily informative parts of the tour. The only thing which I did not love, was time in traffic going to Auckland for one night and then more traffic returning for one more night. Looking at the map, I see why it was done this way, but it felt a bit disconnected at the end. Otherwise, I was delighted and happy I did this particular tour.

Mid Range Self Drive
Pat Wallenborn (United States)

We loved New Zealand. You made everything so easy. My only suggestion is that the Heartland Hotels seemed to need some updating. We didn't really care about fancy hotels (even though we loved the Rainforest Retreat at Franz Josef) but would have appreciated a little nicer rooms and would have been willing to pay a little more. Also, the internet in these hotels was spotty and sometimes didn't work. All in all though, we were happy as we didn't spend that much time in the rooms. We really appreciated being able to call you when we had issues with the breakfasts and that was taken care of so easily. The rental car pick up and delivery were so easy and we really appreciated the suggestions of things to do on our itinerary during the drives from place to place. You kiwis are so very friendly and helpful.

Tasman Glacier Lake Cruise

This trip was organised brilliantly, it all ran like clockwork, they even changed our day at the last minute due to the weather, with ease. Everyone was friendly and very knowledgeable from the bus drive to the guide. It was amazing seeing the icebergs close up. I would definitively recommend this trip as seeing them from afar from the edge of the lake is just not the same!
