Did the New Zealand South Island tour with Alex and Ollie. They were phenomenal tour guides with lots of knowledge and made sure we were all looked after. The tour itself had great inclusions and was a very reasonable price with breathtaking views and a good mix of activities and free time. One of my favourite trips and couldn;t recommend more!

I have just finished up on the New Zealand South Island tour with Tommy, And I have to say it was beyond incredible, I had expectations and this tour smashed it! I have done a lot of travelling and this tour was by far the best experience I have had! We had such a good time and had perfect weather for all the activities we had planned! Tommy was a fantastic tour leader, and helped everyone with all extra travel and extra activities! He was very organised and everything that we had planned was smooth sailing! Would highly recommend doing this tour 10/10!!

Had the best holiday I could’ve asked for. Always wanted to got to New Zealand and Intro Travel made it possible without having to stress about anything. Also had the best group leaders in Alex & Harvey, made sure the group were able to live our best lives. Couldn’t recommend them more which is why I’ve already put a deposit down for the Croatia intro trip.
