Reviews of our New Zealand Tours for May
Feedback from guests who toured New Zealand during May.
Just finished the 17 day New Zealand tour & it was unbelievable! A trip of a lifetime, most certainly will be back! I can’t recommend this tour enough it has been an amazing experience & got to make the best memories with the most amazing bunch of people! Thanks to our amazing group leader Danny that made our New Zealand experience unforgettable 🥹 He has such passion & energy for travel especially NZ, the perfect guy for the job! Will definitely be travelling with Intro Travel again in the future!
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!!!
I traveled to New Zealand during the Fall it did rain on/off and was beautiful, lush green and clear blue skies. It was nice driving in the country and layering is perfect for this time of year. I liked, meet a Farmer, Milford Sound Day (it was a very long day) but worth it, Queenstown had many restaurants to walk too but take a taxi back it is very hilly in this city. Kiwi Park was fun to do and learn about their animals. Māori Village was awesome as well as Waitomo Caves! NZ natives and service staff were very nice and always helpful in all the places we stayed.
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.
This trip was a fantasti. way to enjoy a holiday in New Zealand without having to stress about creating my own itinerary, transportation, and accommodation! I joined this tour because my solo travel plans fell through and I cannot be happier that I did.
