Had the best holiday I could’ve asked for. Always wanted to got to New Zealand and Intro Travel made it possible without having to stress about anything. Also had the best group leaders in Alex & Harvey, made sure the group were able to live our best lives. Couldn’t recommend them more which is why I’ve already put a deposit down for the Croatia intro trip.
