Awesome tour and guide. Would recommend to a friend. Rooms could be more spacious and linked bookings should be coordinated and end up in the same rooms.

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.

A fantastic trip to a beautiful country. Particularly enjoyed the active components (hiking, biking, kayaking) with an up close view of the flora and landscapes. The CEO was knowledgeable, resourceful, and very pleasant. Despite the long bus rides, seeing so much of the country was an advantage. The population was friendly, gracious and adventuresome. Overall expectations were exceeded.

I have just completed the 9 day New Zealand North Island tour and I was gutted at the end that I hadnt booked on to the 18 day one, as the whole trip was just amazing. I met some incredible people and did things Ive never done before such as cold water swimming in Lake TaupA and white water rafting. I got to visit Hobbiton, which was a dream come true. Jay our guide was the best and the trip ran smoothly. The week is packed with activities but also enough down time to do your own thing. I will definitely be booking on to another tour next year! If youre unsure about booking, do it, you wont regret it! 10/10

This tour is a great way to see the major sights in New Zealand. Many optional activities offer for an additional price which you can choose to participate in or not. Our tour guide George, made the trip very memorable. He loves his country and his enthusiasm was contagious. Our group started as strangers and left as friends.

I was very happy with my week on the MEC at Mt Cook.I can find no fault at all in the 5 days experience, even the weather played the game by raining at the start when we did classroom stuff. Then the flight up to the tarn to camp and play and learn. Our guide was the best. He knew the terrain, kept us informed and most importantly was very experienced. I came away knowing that there are mountains out there that I could and will climb. Just the best. Thanks. Roger
