A once in a lifetime trip that will bring you through all 4 seasons in a month, meeting so many gorgeous people and experiencing pinch-me moments together with strangers who will become friends as the tour goes on. You really get to see the best of both countries in such a short time and I’m left with memories that I’ll keep with me forever. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough!

I loved it, would liked to have done a bit more skiing, and maybe a bit more flexibility, but other than that, I loved it, and I will absolutely do it again

It was such a wonderful experience and a unique vacation activity.

My trip to New Zealand did not disappoint! The tour guides that CharlieTheTraveler planned for the tours made me feel welcome and safe throughout the trip. I am very pleased with the organization and planning that went into this trip so that I could enjoy every aspect! I had never done anything like the glacier hiking trip in the Mount Cook National Park. It was such a wonderful experience and a unique vacation activity. I absolutely adored the views of the glaciers and caves.
