Southern Spotlight

Excellent Travel Director leading the tour with care and professional knowledge. This is an important value to have a wonderful holiday travel.

Great to see so much of the South Island. Just the right amount of time and we were lucky with the weather.,

Great tour. Isobel the tour director was fun and knowledgeable and Dave the bus driver was skilled and professional. We always felt like we were in good hands.

Brilliant from start to finish. So we'll organised with the lovely Isobel talking us through the various stops , great knowledge and anecdotes as well coupled with Dave driving us safely around. Thoroughly recommend it.

Wonderful trip, absolutely a very informative guide and a very safe and courteous driver. Thank you AAT

Great scenery, well organised, the best guide and driver ( Kirsty &Mark ) Unfortunately some highlights were cancelled due to weather, can’t help that. Unfortunately I’ll never get the chance again. Most accommodations good, a couple could have been better. But overall, happy with trip, would recommend it.

Great trip with excellent driver (Mark) and tour guide (Kirsty). Commentary was very informative and lighthearted at times.

Fabulous itinerary. Kirsty du Jong and Mark were excellent guides. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Great tour leader Kirsty and driver Mark… very informative and made the trip memorable

However the last hotel of the tour was definitely below par, everything else apart from the weather was great

Our guide Nathan, and driver Dave - were both excellent. Nathan as a native Kiwi had a lot of knowledge about the country, the agricultural, the cities and places we visited, and the beautiful vistas. Dave was equally skilled in safely getting us to each destination, and a mastermind with the often steep and narrow roads he needed to navigate the coach through. Even mastered a merino sheep traffic jam while keeping all sheep safe! I would love to take another trip with these two - a trip of a lifetime made better by having them as part of our group!!!

Nathan was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable, thorough, and organized. Dave was an excellent driver and kept us safe on some hairy roads on the South Island.

Very comfortable coach with plenty of photo stops.. Plenty of extra activities. We chose aircraft flight over Franz Josef glacier and Mt Cook, glow worm caves and helicopter landing on glacier. Tour guide very informative about places we visited. Highly recommend the tour.
