- JOSEPH· February 28th, 2025We enjoyed our tour. All activities, lodging and transportation were scheduled and very smooth. The "New Zealand" app sent was very helpful laying in detail our itinerary and instructions. Communication to the vendor was easily made using the app.Show more
- William· February 28th, 2025Assumed there would be some type of guide instead of just directions.Show more
- Lynne· February 19th, 2025The 5 day Alpine tour was everything I wanted. I was traveling solo and wanted to be with groups for safety, and tourradar made sure that I was. They even booked me with other groups to save me some money on my before and after hotel rooms. We had beautiful clear skies at Mt Cook and got rain in Milford Sound (that's what you want for more waterfalls), we saw the tip of Fox glacier and Franz Josef, and learned about the history and the people of New Zealand. The tour guides were fun and knew the area very well. Jonathon knows the best dad jokes and I want to give a special shout out to Sarah for being one of the best story tellers I've ever heard.Show more
