    The tour itself was excellent. I was very frustrated however by the minimal communication. It was very difficult to get information prior to the tour, and the response time did not meet your commitments. Even during the tour, we were often in the dark about what to expect.

    The trip fulfilled my expectations; a good introduction to New Zealand, including both North and South islands. The trip was very well organised; even an enforced change of itinerary was handled seamlessly.

    This was an excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide (Jonno). We only had 6 people on the tour which allowed us to get to know each other very well over the 12 day tour. The tour bus was very clean and our driver/guide kept us entertained during the entire trip. All transportation (bus, flight, train & boat) were well coordinated and we never felt rushed. Our guide always made good suggestions for lunch and dinner and we often ate together as a group. Overall a good experience that I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to see the most of both North and South islands over a 2 weeks period.
