The tour operator was amazing. I fell in love with New Zealand. Simon was great guide and the small tour group made it even better as we all became close friends. I would highly recommend the tour operator to all my friends and Family. I loved every moment that I was in New Zealand. I would come back in a heart beat and travel with the operator again.

This experience was an outstanding opportunity to visit more places and to learn more about the history, grography and culture of two amazing countries, partially due to the great leadership. There is no way we could have managed the same itinerary on our own. Also, the small groups facilitated the development of new relationships and group bonding as a bonus to the tour itself.
