George was an excellent tour leader. He provided all kinds of interesting and entertaining facts about mythology, Paul and Greece. I would recommend him to others. It is a tough trip and you really need to be able to walk from 16000 to 20000 steps per day. A lot of places were just opening because the tour seasons started that week.
The entire tour experience was outstanding. It's obvious that Collette's took great care in crafting this tour and running it. All aspects of the tour allowed the traveler to enjoy everything at their own pace. The only suggestion is that on the last day in BA, before the evening dinner and Tango show, transportation could be provided to the San Temo (spelling?) market area before going to the dinner/show..

The tour itself was excellent. However my energy level was not enough for this trip. The air travel was tiring with multiple days. Altitude was a factor.
The best was the countryside and being in a small community. The glaciers were great. All of the tour was great and very memorable. Nancy Thomsen was wonderful and the bus driver Tomas too.
We learned about the history of the people and sites. The ancient and current use of the geothermal areas, even eating food cooked in the hot pools was memorable.
We rode on 6 different boats in beautiful waterways, seeing native plants and vegetation as well as animal species. The water was glacier blue, clean and clear. Staying in the same hotel for 2 nights in a row, not having to have our bags out early every morning was a treat. We traveled in Land Rovers in the hillsides and rivers of the south NZ island. I loved the Mrs Jones fruit stand stop on the way to the picturesque Milford Sound.
Tourists were well received and cared for at all locations.
I wished we had more time in Auckland and the north island of NZ.
Australia had its own wonderful flavor of living. It was great to experience it as well.
Everything was memorable! Learned so much history from the different cities that we visited. Felt safe at all times. Delicious food. Made new friends, including the tour manager. Had a beautiful time.
