I enjoyed the majority of the tour. The best was our Fiji extension. I gave the overall a 2 because we paid for extra on the plane rides and did not get our seats or extra seating.

Our tour guides, Lia in New Zealand and Australia was awsome. Her knowledge of the land and people was remarkable. Lia has a personality that fits with any group that she tours with. Lia has personality plus! Our secondary guides, were also great, they fit our tour group perfectly. Tui, our guide in Figi was also magnificent.. Tui, made us all fell like we were part of his family and part of the Island. I love all the tours, but I must admit the snorkeling, bungi jumping, panning for gold and the Ramon Burr's Bertanical Garden were my favorites.

We saw many cultural places and each city had many great places. We had a wonderful time in Rotorua and we were amazed by the Māoris villages. Clare Martin was a perfect guide. She was so informative about everything we saw! We enjoyed Christchurch, Queenstown and the Milford Sound! All of the hotels and restaurants were wonderful! We also had a visit to Arrowtown and enjoyed that town. We were so impressed by this tour!
