After the first day of the tour I already felt we were one big group of friends and felt welcomed in. Mainly all of us were solo travellers who have now also made friends and experienced lots of new activities together. Our tour guide Liv was very informative throughout the tour and helped us learn lots about the New Zealand culture. Will be booking another tour again soon.

The South Island is a stunning location with so much to see and do. I will continue to travel with G Adventures, however, I (and the group) felt very let down by the poor standard of breakfast included, lack of knowledge and organisation of the tour guide. It felt as though we were self guided for most of the tour, relying on eachother for bookings and information. I wonder what it would be like with a more passionate and informed tour guide. Accomodation and included activities were amazing.
Excellent
Second G-Adventures tour in and still looking for more!
