    I had an amazing time on my 17 NZ adventure in August. Sean and Rhys were both amazing tour guides. They were both helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for them to sort. The tour itself was incredible and it was jam packed with tonnes of activities. I can’t wait for my next tour with intro!

    Just finished my 17-day New Zealand intro tour. I have had an amazing time. The tour was well organised with a mixture of included activities as well as free time. Sean, our tour guide, was great fun and really knowledgeable. Can't wait to go on my next Intro tour!

    Our group lead Emily was just fantastic (apart from her habit of putting salad cream on a roast dinner 🤢). We had a tonne of bad weather during our trip so poor Emily had to really think on her feet and keep changing the plans to deal with road closures etc. Honestly, she deserves a bonus for the amount of stress she dealt with! My only bit of feedback for intro would be to *please* update the packing list. "Casual winter clothes" really didn't prepare all of us for trudging through actual snow on mount cooke and freezing winds on some of the boat trips. Pretty much everyone ended up buying more warm clothes during the trip! Anyone considering the NZ tour, bring waterproof shoes, a *very warm* coat, and a waterproof jacket. Overall, had a great time. Hobbiton, the jet boat ride, and the Maori village were probably my highlights, along with the scenery all around during the whole trip. 😊

    An absolutely amazing experience with the best group leader. We faced quite a few challenges during the South Island tour due to extreme weather, but Emily always went above and beyond to make sure we’d all still have the best experience possible. No matter what was thrown at us Emily was there to reassure us, adapt & improvise and make us laugh

    The tour was amazing! I had so much fun! It was organised so well, while still enabling us to have our own time and do our own activities! Travelling between each location was always super easy, either with a shuttle or intercity buses. Both local bus drivers were great! They gave us so much knowledge on the area, happy to answer any questions and always being so lovely! So many amazing activities were included and anything else we wanted to do our amazing tour guide organised all for us! Our tour leader, Emily, went absolutely above and beyond! She always went that extra mile with everyone to ensure that everyone had the best time possible and could do everything they wanted to do! We had the best time with her- she kept on top of everything and kept everything organised without us ever feeling like she was our teacher telling us what to do.

    My partner and I have done quite a few different tours operated by Intro. They are all unique in their own way, but have all been amazing. The group leaders we’ve had have all been very good, but a special shout out us to go to Emily Payne on this New Zealand tour. She went above and beyond for us, solving any issues with minimal fuss and putting a phenomenal effort into her job. NZ is the most beautiful country I have ever visited. We went in their winter, so whilst it was cold I think it made everything look so much more incredible. Hostel life takes some getting used to if you’ve not experienced it before, but besides renting a camper, it is the only was to really do NZ in an economical way. The activities included in the tour are good, the visit to a Māori village was a big highlight for me. There is also plenty of time to fit in any extras that you want to do, so make sure to budget for the fantastic opportunities NZ has to offer such as zorbing, parachuting, bungee jumping, helicopter rides etc.
