New Zealand Guided Tours

The tour provided a great mixture of different experiences. It took us into areas of remarkable scenery. The options at various places added to the overall enjoyment. The accommodation at each stop was of high standard. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time on this tour. We feel like we saw the key spots on the South Island and had time enough to enjoy ourselves in several places. Of course we needed to get up early nearly every day, but that's to be expected on a bus tour. There were plenty of breaks scheduled during the day and lots of extra activities to choose from. Our tour guide was tremendous and kept us entertained. We were the only Americans on our tour. It was mostly Australians on the tour, and there's definitely a difference in language between the US and Australia. So a lot of references went right by us.

The South Island of New Zealand is a stunningly beautiful landscape and having been there before but driving you miss a lot of the beauty. A guided bus tour is the perfect way to see the landscape because someone else is doing the driving and I could look and take pictures as we went. The Southern Spotlight tour is the perfect way to do this.

We loved our AATKings holiday in New Zealand South Island. Every aspect of the trip was excellent. The coach was very comfortable with the driver ensuring it was always clean and that we travelled in a pleasant temperature. The accommodation and meals were top notch and the tour director ensured that everything went very smoothly as he gave us paperwork throughout advising us of every detail we needed such as accommodation venues and the delightful experiences we would enjoy. He ensured we would never be in any doubt about what he needed us to do. He was very passionate about his beautiful country and gave us informative commentary throughout. We loved the stunning scenery and enjoyed our experience immensely.

It was our first time in NZ South Island and first time on a coach tour(9 Days), both couldnt have been better. excellent guide and coach driver (Nathan & Simon) weather was the best along with the scenery and commentary. Accomodation was top notch, porterage was supplied at hotels so no lugging our bags in and out. We were supplied with a assortment of tour options along the way ie jet boating, helicopter rides to a LOTR 1/2 day bus tour (at additional costs). The only thing to add was we felt a bit more time could be spent in some smaller towns we stopped at along the way, but this was more of a taste of things available tour and longer tours are available

Generous amount of included meals. Lots of included excursions. Plenty of free time. Great tour for the money. Tour manager was the best we've ever had and we've had some really good ones. I highly recommend it.
