If you’re thinking of going to NZ we found this to be a great tour. There are more optional excursions than I was expecting so you need to allow a good amount of spending money. A list of optional excursions should be made available prior to booking the trip.

New Zealand was favorite part of tour, beautiful and more relaxing. Josh Bassett, tour guide, was exceptional, friendly and provided wealth of helpful information . Disappointed in coral reef experience, did not see a lot of colorful fish
Nancy M. | Traveled in February
Loved having porter service for large luggage - not having to drag it down non bus accessible streets. The tour director, Rosalinda totally made the trip fun, educational, enjoyable, entertaining- gave us quiet when we needed it, kept us on track, but nice personality and professional. Needed more time at museums, less at waterfalls . The Vik hotel was clean but basic- some hand railings on outside steps needed. Center hotel was great , but rooms facing bars on Main Street a little nosy. Staff at all places and our driver were fantastic

It was very well managed and the Trip Manager was a great support. He was professional, funny and supportive in every matter. The last hotel at Mexico City was great. Overall a good overview of the city covered.

All of this tour was excellent! My husband and I really enjoyed New Zealand , a beautiful country and wonderful friendly people. We really enjoyed Australia. We really liked Sydney, lots to do there! We only wish we would have had one more day there! But, that leaves it open for us to go back!

Darko was an excellent tour guide and I believe truly enjoys his job. He talked the exact right amount (not too much)-he adjusted with things we were required to adjust to and substituted very enjoyable events for things we could not do because of weather. He was funny, very personable, and was able to laugh at some of the goofy things about Iceland (we all have goofy things in our homeland)-I can’t say enough good things about him-don’t let him get away from you. He’s the best!
