The tour was precisely organised. Customers comfort being paramount. Our tour leader, Isobel, was a mine of information. She was never ‘in your face’ but there to give facts and history of the lovely islands that are New Zealand. Pete was our driver. He was excellent. The perfect foil for Isobel. Only one trip out in Queenstown we thought was misrepresented. The barbecue at the farm. We were looking forward to the beautiful boat ride across the lake, but not in the company of 280 other people! Had we have known we would not have gone. Thank you to Pete and Isobel for making it a great trip. My friend recommended your company after her holiday to New Zealand, and I would certainly pass on the recommendation.

We had a wonderful time on tour with Santo our tour director and Pete our driver who both took extra care of my elderly parents who had mobility issues The places we went to were amazing and the meals provided excellent. The accommodation is what one expects in New Zealand but every care was taken to make sure we had everything we needed We were sad when our South Island tour ended

Marty was extremely helpful and informative throughout the entire tour. His knowledge and humour was fantastic. The various drivers during the tour were also very friendly and helpful. The consideration the company extended to my wife's dietary requirements was immense. I would recommend AAT to anyone who is considering a guided tour.

Excellent guide and driver, Nathan kept us informed with any points of interest as we travelled around both north and south islands. Stu showed his driving skills so many times in tight spots on the highway as well as some of the hotel locations. This was our first coach trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
