Feedback from guests who toured New Zealand during January.
Anonymous | Traveled in January
the whole trip was an incredible experience! we were well looked after by our trip manager and the group dynamics worked really well. would highly recommend, especially for solo travellers. we got to see the best parts of the south island with a highly knowledgeable trip manager, and left with unforgettable memories!
Anonymous | Traveled in January
Trip was exactly as described and ran very smoothly. Hotels were clean and comfortable and all included buffet breakfasts. Chose this specific tour because it went to so many different places. If you are looking for a slower paced tour, this may not be the one for you although there was plenty of 'down time' while riding in the bus between tour spots. New Zealand's south island is absolutely stunning!
Stella T. | Traveled in January
Truly the most amazing experience. Felt so lucky to witness such stunning places and be taken to the most beautiful parts of the South Island by our trip manager and bus driver. A wonderful group of people who were all willing to get involved in the once in a lifetime activities we were offered.
Elena | Traveled in January
Exceeded expectations! The BEST trip manager and bus driver duo. Short bus drives, great accommodation. So many amazing activities to choose from. Everything planned for you, you can just switch off and enjoy!
Caroline H. | Traveled in January
Fabulous trip with an excellent guide. Taylor was very knowledgeable and great company to be with in New Zealand. She added extra bits into the itinerary to help us see more of New Zealand. Only minor critique would be to allow more time in the itinerary in Dunedin if possible but that’s only a small thing. Overall the itinerary is good and allows you to see a great deal of the country and to get a really good feel for the place. Would highly recommend.

This trip was amazing - the only thing I would change is doing a longer trip like the Northern Choice. The group becomes so close so fast that it’s hard to leave after 5 days when everyone else is there for another week or two (massive FOMO). The activities were so worth the add on and everything was so organised. Our trip manager was super nice and set good vibes. We were out each night but definitely no pressure for those who wanted an easy night. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!
