The AATKINGS Wilderness trip was easy and enjoyable. There were options to do more or less each day. The coach, food and accommodation were great but it was the easy way the trip showed off beautiful Tasmania, that won me.
Consistantly good with the accommodation and sights as well.
Good weather, good time of year.
People on the trip were friendly.
Bus driver and guide were most helpful and friendly

Top class hotels. Only the Christchurch hotel did not have a freezer section in the fridge - which meant the ice packs for my insulin could not be frozen.
The staff in all the hotels were excellent and professional.
The meals were well presented and tasty. The rooms presented beautifully. Interesting views too.

Great trip. The guide was great, the driver did a great job and the people themselves were friendly and accommodating. The first picture below is with the guide Chantzee after we walked up "the steepest street in the world" in Dunedin, Baldwin street, the second is of Milford Sound.

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.

It was a trip of a lifetime for me , i enjoyed it so much, all the people on the coach were very nice including Nathen the director and Stu the driver i was treated like family, and we learnt such a lot about the diffrent places that we went through, and the plane trip was outof thisworld seeing all that snow on top of the alps.
I would love to go again on the same trip same director and same driver.

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.
