- Jack· March 7th, 2025I recently completed the 17 day NZ Adventure tour with Danny as my Group Leader, and I can honestly say it was one of the best places I have visited! Both the North and South Islands were incredible, but my highlights were staying in Lake Tekapo, hiking through Mount Cook / Hooker Valley, cruising through Milford Sound and exploring Queenstown, including a ride on a jet boats. We enjoyed many fun nights out and experienced some memorable karaoke sessions! Danny was an amazing Group Leader, always bringing the energy and ensured the group had the best time. He was very approachable, highly organised and a pleasure to be around, I know we will stay in touch. Thank you Danny and INTRO - I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky enough to have Danny. I already have my next trip booked with INTRO.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- Jess· February 24th, 2025This tour is the best way to see the key spots of New Zealand. Doing both North and South Island gives you such a wide variety of activities and immersion into the different cultures.Trip date: February 2025
- JOJessica· February 19th, 2025Amazing tour! It’s jam packed with amazing activities and add ons that make the experience that much more memorable and exciting! You get to see the major attractions of New Zealand throughout the 17 days and I left the trip knowing I did everything I wanted to do and more!Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- NPNicki· February 4th, 2025My second Intro trip, and another amazing experience with Tommy as our group leader and an absolutely fabulous group of people. I felt 17 days was just about the right amount of time needed to see all the highlights that the North and South islands have to offer. There was also the right amount of chill time vs activity time. There were plenty of optional activities to get involved in if you wanted (still can't believe I can tick a bungy jump off my list!), but there was also no pressure to do anything that you didn't fancy. The hostels were of a really good standard (special shout outs to the YHA in Taupo and Haka in Lake Tekapo). I really welcomed the itinerary change - I'm glad we got to experience Wellington (despite the long-ish travel day to get there) and Christchurch. Agree with Matt's previous review that I'd recommend getting to Auckland a day or two earlier with the itinerary change - even if it's just to have a day in Auckland CBD, climb up Mount Eden, or go over to Waiheke island. Thanks again to Tommy and Intro for an amazing trip - best January ever!Show moreINTRO Travel commented on this reviewHi Nicky, so glad you found the perfect balance of adventure and chill time—plus, ticking off a bungy jump? That’s next-level! Huge shoutout to Tommy for leading the way and making the experience so incredible. We really appreciate your feedback on the... Show moreTrip date: January 2025

- Matt· January 30th, 2025It's a good tour for sight seeing and walking with plenty of adrenaline activities in the south Island. It would be worth arriving early to explore Auckland more maybe an extra night or two would be enoughTrip date: January 2025
- RWRed· January 30th, 2025Amazing tour! I got to experience everything that was on my travel list for the country. I feel like we covered a lot for the number of days we were there. Was a great introduction and I would definitely return to New Zealand for more adventure.Trip date: January 2025
