- JSJola· November 17th, 2023This is an incredible tour to take. There are so many options in New Zealand and potentially a bit overwhelming when trying to plan it yourself. It's a lot of driving over the 6 days and sometimes you don't feel like you've had much time to take it all in. I would however, still recommend this tour. Having never been to NZ, I didn't know where to go or even where to start. The hotels were all in excellent locations. I would go for the upgrade for the car hire & hotels. It was worth the extra money. The recommended itinerary helped so much and the tour operators couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. They were amazing! I would suggest getting up as early as you can and grab breakfast and find somewhere to watch the sunrise each day. I found myself getting to the next destination mid-afternoon so still had plenty of time to take it all in and explore each city. It was perfect. I loved every minute. Genuinely the drive of my life.Show more
Discover New Zealand commented on this reviewHello Jola, We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing time exploring New Zealand. It is our pleasure to help you put this tour together in the easiest way possible. Thank you very much for your time and enjoy the rest of your travels.... Show moreTrip date: September 2023 - VTVoicu· October 29th, 2022Very good selection and to cover the South Island in the shortest possible time, by far an excellent tour. However, it felt like too much driving and not enough relaxation. Car rental company charged the credit card in addition, even though we filled up before drop off and provided no receipt, invoice, email. This is unethical and shadows the whole experience. The organizers, absolutely fantastic. A lot of work to change the accommodations booking to twin beds and excellent communication - they are the best. Most likely will use the company again.Show moreDiscover New Zealand commented on this reviewDear Voicu Tietu, Thank you so much for your kind review.
