Christine D. | Traveled in February

5.0 - Excellent

Excellent tour that covered both the North and South islands. Just one hotel wasn’t up to par but out of a 21 night tour that wasn’t too bad. Stu and Tamara our driver and guide were absolutely brilliant. Would I consider going on another AAT tour the answer is yes.

Excellent guide and driver, Nathan kept us informed with any points of interest as we travelled around both north and south islands. Stu showed his driving skills so many times in tight spots on the highway as well as some of the hotel locations. This was our first coach trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have just finished the 17 day New Zealand tour with Intro and can honestly say I’ve had the best time! The tour was jam-packed with an amazing mix of activities from start to finish!
