- MLMadellaine· December 20th, 2022Thank you for all your help with our NZ itinerary and making all the bookings for us. Your quick response to the little snafu with the rental car was commendable and truly appreciated. With the exception of the Scenic Suites in Queenstown, we were very happy with the lodging accommodations. Truly central locations, nice, safe and clean places to stay. It was probably a blessing in disguise that there was no availability at the Hermitage inside Mt. Cook National Park because it allowed us to do other things outside the national park as well. And we actually loved staying at the Lake Tekapo area. How gorgeous is that lake! The Scenic Suites in Queenstown, while the location was good we didn't like the place at all. We had a wonderful wonderful time in beautiful New Zealand. Your responsiveness from the very beginning is truly great customer service and the portal made communication very easy. Thank you again for making our NZ trip seamless and enjoyable. We would definitely highly recommend Tour Radar.Show more
