I had a wonderful time on the tour and it’s a great way to see NZ, the itinerary was well planned to make the most of each town and NZ’s scenery is so spectacular, every day was another jaw dropping moment

I've wanted to visit New Zealand for decades, and this trip fulfilled my dreams! Such variety of nature, wildlife, scenery and activity; exposure to local mores and cuisine; appreciation and admiration for the country's integration of Maori language and culture; and a fantastic group of fun, kind, like-spirited people adventuring together. The length and pace were just right; I returned home feeling not exhausted but energized. This tour deserves to be the Top Seller it is.

Excellent tour leader who was the reason the group came together so well. Amazing experiences and places visited. The smaller group size and bus size make it so much easier for getting in and out of places - uncomplicated! and can just focus on the good stuff. And most importantly for me great value for singles - not forking out single supplements if you don’t mind sharing.
