Wellington Local culture Trips

New Zealand and its people were spectacular, as was our trip. We felt well taken care of by our operators. They were very responsive to inquiries before and during the trip. Kudos for their counsel prior to the trip, advising us to spend time exploring areas like The Catlins. Overall, our expectations were exceeded. Highlights for us were private or small tours (Rotorua, Stewart Island, Wanaka) on which we could really engage with our guides and learn. We appreciated the variety of experiences – thrills, nature, hikes, boats, private flights. We especially liked the times when we had solitude rather than big crowds of tourists.

Geoff is extremely helpful, professional and patient. He put in countless hours helping me plan my group trip to New Zealand. He is friendly and very easy to work with and would recommend them to anyone looking to go to New Zealand.

Geoff is an awesome guy! - and his travel agency. He worked with me to plan this trip over 3 1/2 years ago. Due to COVID it was postponed twice and, as time went on, I made changes and he adapted and re-worked the itinerary excellently. He made great suggestions and listened to my ideas with a great sense of humor and seriousness, booking the perfect Bed & Breakfast Inns in Christchurch and Lake Te Anau and other pristine locations. The tour he booked for me to see Hobbiton was the best choice, including a delicious lunch buffet! There was no hassle over prices, they were very reasonable and kept within my budget.

The weather wasn't in our favor, but thanks to our guide and thanks to how reactive the crew was, we made the most of the time we had. Activities proposed were amazing. I highly recommend.

We have just come back from one of the best holidays we’ve had! After 3 years of no travel due to Covid, my family wanted to go out and explore great outdoors. What better country to do that than New Zealand! Booking our custom itinerary with Geoff was our best decision. To be honest there are many options when booking a tour in New Zealand, but these are mostly larger operators with no personal touch and purely business. This operator was the exception for us. We always prefer the personal touch and Geoff and his wife Libby definitely lived up to it! When they say they are the real deal Kiwi, they surely are. From our first contact, Geoff made us feel so comfortable and even provided his personal contact 24/7 if we needed anything. When you speak to Geoff, you can also feel his passion for New Zealand and for meeting new people. We went through several rounds of itinerary planning and Geoff was patient and ever accommodating, providing us with some great suggestions as well. It was a long itinerary almost 20 days covering North and South Islands. When we arrived in New Zealand, everything worked like clockwork. All the bookings were well organised, pickups, transfers, hotels and activities. It was a fuss free and stress free holiday for my family which culminated in Christchurch when we finally got to see Geoff and his wife Libby. We had a very personal tour of Christchurch and went off the beaten track to see the many natural marvels of New Zealand. All good things must eventually come to an end, and we left New Zealand with a heavy heart, having one of the best holidays ever. We arrived as strangers but left meeting so many nice people and made a good family friend in both Geoff and his wife Libby.

Our tour guide Kenna was the absolute best and I don't think the experience would have been quite the same without her! I felt as if we got to know New Zealand better because we got to know her. We went on this adventure tour for our honeymoon and enjoyed relaxing, hiking, skydiving, seeing the glow worms, the cultural experiences, the wine, the beach, and the mountains! I would highly recommend this tour operator, and if you get to have Kenna as your tour guide, you should have a blast!
