We enjoyed it very much and the options were great.Our guide gave us great service, was very approachable and filled us with local knowledge. As there was only 14 of us and the mix was good l guess we were spoiled
Gregg Y | Traveled in September
Our overall experience was very positive. We were able to see the things we wanted to see. Some of the travel was long but that is the size of the countries. Would recommend it to others.

Leannda. C | Traveled in September
I;ve just finished the 17 day North and South Island work and travel tour of New Zealand and couldn;t recommend it more. Jess was fantastic and was able to tell us lots of local knowledge and Mauri traditions at every place we visited. She was extremely approachable and bubbly and was available to help with organising extra activities while on the holiday as well as onward travel plans. The holiday had a great mix of activities for everyone from visiting the glow worm caves, Hobbiton and a Mauri village in the North Island to jet boating, kayaking and hiking in the south. The whole trip was stunning and very well organised. I would definitely book with Intro again and recommend Jess fully as a group leader.
Jennifer | Traveled in September
I have dreamed of going to NZ and AUS since I was a teenager. Nat Geo curated an experience that included all the highlights I wanted, plus many more that I wouldn't have known to do. Well worth the money for time and energy saved. Felt like I could truly enjoy being on an active vacation without any of the stress that is usually involved.
