- CCChristine· August 14th, 2023Arrangements for hotels, bus/van pickups were flawless. Every tour was on time and drivers/tour commentators were excellent. Good selection of tours and down time to enjoy New Zealand culture and scenery. Hotels for the most part very good. Some of the smaller vans were cramped with full set of passengers, but coaches comfortable and vans fine with fewer passengers. Overall highly recommended.Show moreThrifty Tours commented on this reviewHi Christine! Thank you for sharing your feedback - we really appreciate it!
