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.

Overall, a great trip visiting 6 cities in Australia and 5 in New Zealand. Pace was right with great places to visit as well as free time. Some great additional excursions also. 25 people in group was also a plus.
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.

My wife and I have been on several trips with the Trafalgar group (AAT Kings / Insight / Trafalgar). We have not had a bad experience yet. The travel directors were like personal concierges to us. Our travel directors, Tony and Marty, were fantastic people. Funny, professional and helpful. Bus drivers were excellent, optional experiences were great. We look forward to going on future tours with the Trafalgar group.

Delight in the wonders of New Zealand on The Long White Cloud, a 19-day guided journey from Christchurch to Auckland crafted for experienced travelers seeking a relaxed, in-depth exploration. Traverse the Southern Alps, marvel at Franz Josef Glacier, and cruise the serene lakes of Wanaka. Enjoy wine tastings in Gibbston Valley, e-bike or embark on an eco farm tour in Queenstown, and soak in the wild beauty of Doubtful Sound on an overnight nature cruise. In Rotorua, walk the Redwoods Treewalk and visit a kiwi hatchery, then descend into glowworm-lit caves. The tour culminates with a traditional Māori feast and a celebratory dinner in Auckland. The USP? A leisurely-paced, immersive itinerary packed with iconic sights, local flavors, and unique wildlife experiences.
