This is a great itinerary, not too rushed or busy but plenty of beautiful NZ to see and experience. All the hotels were great with comfortable rooms, they just need to learn how to cook bacon and eggs 😉

We had a great time. New Zealand is beautiful the people were very friendly and our Tour guide was outstanding. was very organized and knowledgeable about her country. She did a great job of making our days fun and relaxing while still making sure we all got where we neeed to be.
Peter C. | Traveled in November
Such a well organised tour, with our tour director Isabel, who was out of this world. She was on top of everything, nothing was a problem and all carried out in a light hearted happy way. Left everyone at ease. Her rapier with Pete the bus driver was very funny at times, with Pete being a very role and humorous guy. Never mind his excellent driving, but his dry wit at times was class. We got to see parts of New Zealand we wouldn’t have if we were driving ourselves and the amount of facts that Isobel told us was mind boggling. All vey professional and so personal as well.

Good trip, wonderful scenary. Really good infrastructure for walking in the trails. It should have been a walk at the Fiordland National Park (close to Wilford Sound) We just did a really small portion towards Marian Lake. It would have been different from the other trails that we did

The tour was great. We got very lucky with weather as it changes a lot as you travel across the country. Both the travel director and the bus driver were the best we have ever had on similar trips. The only issue we had was the airport transfers. When we arrived, nobody was waiting for us and we had to call to find out what happened. We were told that our flight was cancelled. We did take our originally booked flight from USA. The ride was scheduled at that time, but when we arrived at the hotel, we were told to pay the full fare as the driver was not informed that we were part of the organized group with prepaid transfer. The driver called the company and it was resolved. On the way back from Christchurch, we had issue again. We had to call travel director to help us. For some reason transfer company forgot about us.
