Relaxing Journeys

Relaxing Journeys is very professional and responds promptly to any queries raised.

I firstly want to highlight Sally Laurie who helped my friend and I throughout the entire process. She was very informative and kept us on track throughout the many months of our preparation. It was amazing working with her.

Other mentions would be our bus driver who took us to Hobbiton; I can’t recall the name but she was an older lady who was fun and vibrant and made the experience there and back brilliant.

Lastly, I’d like to say that our guide Leftie was amazing. I’m thankful to have had him as our tour guide; he was a wealth of information and was just fun and spontaneous and just a great guy to be around. He suggested the Wētā Workshop that my friend and I visited after the tour and it was amazing-and we have our outstanding guide to thank for that.

Overall…amazing trip. I was shocked it was only four of us on the trip as previous interactions with tours usually had a cap of like 6 or 7 or more for the trip to happen, but I’m glad they didn’t cancel it so that my friend and I could have a one in a lifetime experience. I’ll definitely advise those I know to visit NZ and to use this company.

Had a great time. Easy itinerary to follow, good accommodation, and excellent suggestions on the itinerary. All went smoothly. Thank you!

It was fantastic. New Zealand is absolutely beautiful made more so with the help of Sally who provided us with great accommodation, trips and itinerary.

a MUST DO experience! wonderful country with a variety of landscapes.

was an amazing journey of scenery and views while being given information about the sound and wildlife

Every aspect of the trip was well organised. Would have like a little bit longer for the Kayak and swim but otherwise it was the highlight of our trip and would love to do it again. I did particularly like the moment when we stopped on the way back and were able to be present in our surroundings with no sound or human element. The guide was excellent and had vast knowledge of all the different aspects about the Doubtful Sound. Thanks.

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.

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.

We loved the tour / accomodations were first class / coach was awesome , but Chris Hannah our driver made the trip for us. Would highly recommend the Ultimate Small group tour

Fantastic holiday only very good is accommodation…some places were a bit old and tired…but others were fabulous….our room at Taupo was an absolute highlight

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.
