Reviews of our New Zealand Experienced Traveler Tours
Our Experienced explorers reflect on their cultural journeys through New Zealand.
Anonymous | Traveled in February
If you’re thinking of going to NZ we found this to be a great tour. There are more optional excursions than I was expecting so you need to allow a good amount of spending money. A list of optional excursions should be made available prior to booking the trip.

Milford Sound and thee flight back to Queenstown - extra $$$ but well worth it! We actually enjoyed New Zealand better than Australia witht he exception of Cairns (you MUST go snorkeling).
Anonymous | Traveled in February
New Zealand was favorite part of tour, beautiful and more relaxing. Josh Bassett, tour guide, was exceptional, friendly and provided wealth of helpful information . Disappointed in coral reef experience, did not see a lot of colorful fish
Kathy B. | Traveled in February
All of this tour was excellent! My husband and I really enjoyed New Zealand , a beautiful country and wonderful friendly people. We really enjoyed Australia. We really liked Sydney, lots to do there! We only wish we would have had one more day there! But, that leaves it open for us to go back!
Stephen A. | Traveled in February
The itinerary was wonderful. It showed New Zealand in its full glory from the flora and fauna to the people. Unfortunately, because of the distances some days were long with extended coach rides, even with comfort stops. The travel concierge was great and added a lot to the experience.
Anonymous | Traveled in February
Overall, this itinerary was excellent. We chose it because it included both the North & South Islands as well as much of the interior. Plus the travel concierge had great knowledge of history, geography, culture and various other aspects of the country.
