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.
First time doing a group tour like this and it is easily the best thing I’ve ever done
Picturesque destinations, fun activities, exceptional CEO.
I had an absolutely fantastic time travelling New Zealand & am sad to have had to leave! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wanted to see sites of the country with a limited amount of time. Our CEO David was brilliant & you could see how much he loves his home country!
I would not book with G Adventures again!
Absolutely incredible way to start the year! I?ve made some truly awesome new friends, and I very much enjoyed having Leftie as our guide. Top notch.
Travelling with G adventures in New Zealand was a wonderful adventure!! The CEO was the incredibly knowledgeable and fun.
A comfortable, efficient and effective way to see all the best New Zealand has to offer while wetting the appetite and putting into play a desire to return and further explore those places still left to dig into. If the only trip one will make to New Zealand, it was well worth it with memories and experiences to last a lifetime.
It was a grat trip with lots of fun. But once again your CEO Pam is what put this over the top. I will always remember this trip and friends we made
Enjoyable way to travel. CEO was awesome! Great group of tour passengers. The beautiful country of New Zealand! Got a taste and would love to return someday.
Loved the small group environment. Tour was fun and managed well despite a few hiccups along the way. Loved the variety of optional activities and our CEO was amazing.
