- NMnia· July 3rd, 2024Great Itinerary and love the option of adding on more adventures options such as the bungee jump. I did find though there was a couple of activities that were a lot for one day, a bike ride and a hike was a lot when we’ve barely had a rest. Maybe even add an extra day to the tour to break it up a little.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
- GCGeorge· December 14th, 2023It was my first time doing a tour like this with other people who I didn’t know. Our leader (Jess) broke the ice real quick and we all had a great time with her. Loads of stuff to do but it was also really easy to take yourself away for a bit if you needed. I booked onto another tour (Philippines) before this one had even finished because it was so good. Only thing I can suggest is having a different, longer version which includes things like the coromandel, Wellington, Franz Josef etc but couldn’t fault my experience and I am looking forward to coming back!Show moreTrip date: November 2023
- JGJamie· October 4th, 2023This tour was a great introduction to both the North and South Islands. Our group leader Emily regularly went above and beyond to create some special memories for everyone in the group. We had some unfortunate weather on the South Island and Emily did a fantastic job weathering that storm to provide us all an engaging and rewarding experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone new to New Zealand and hoping to see a little bit of everything, and I would recommend taking any tour with Emily because she was so professional, supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely pleasant to be around.Show moreTrip date: September 2023
- Lotte· September 26th, 2023The tour was absolutely amazing. It was an excellent way to see the highlights of New Zealand. Our tour leader Emily did an amazing job of guiding us and making sure we had a great time. She was also so helpful when it came to onward travel plans and finding a job. Would very much recommend.Show moreTrip date: September 2023
- HHarriet· July 19th, 2023This trip was jam packed with amazing activities every day had something new and exciting to offer I didn’t want the trip to end. Not only were the activities exceptional with hooker valley and Milford sound being of particular note our tour guide Sean was exceptional. From his knowledge of the area to help with extra activities Sean couldn’t of been better. This tour really does show you the whole of New Zealand and has started an ongoing love for the country. I can’t wait to come back!!!!!Show moreTrip date: June 2023
- NSNoam· July 19th, 2023We had an amazing experience with one of the funniest, personable and knowledgeable guide that I’ve ever had! Every sight we saw was breath taking and the people we traveled with were just as fun! Couldn’t recommend more!Trip date: June 2023
- AAlex· June 8th, 2023Amazing experience definitely recommend to anyone I possibly can - you see so so much of New Zealand without the hassle of organising it all and I wished I’d booked a working holiday visa so I could stay longer and see even more. Probably the most beautiful country I’ve ever been to and I will be back!! Highlights were the Māori village in the North and Milford Sound in the South. If you can do both islands definitely do it as they’re amazing in their own ways. Sean was a brilliant tour guide, very very knowledgeable and helpful (he was so quick to book extra activities and gave lots of info even for countries we were visiting after the tour, he also helped out people on the tour who were staying for WHV’s) He’s quite a bit of a bantersaurus rex as well but do not tell him I said that bc it will go straight to his big hairless head xx We also had Emily on our tour as she was learning to guide and she was also amazing so if you get either of them you’ll be very luckyShow moreTrip date: May 2023
- SVsjoerd· April 21st, 2023Loved it. The South Island is more fun than the north. The tour guide Sean was great although he should have bought me more beersTrip date: April 2023
- AAnonymous· April 21st, 2023Sean was an amazing group leader who always helped out whenever we needed something and was always the most fun! The NZ 17 day tour is the perfect tour to see the best bits of New Zealand and would recommend 100%!Trip date: April 2023
- AAnonymous· March 31st, 2023The tour was excellent and our guide James was super friendly and positive and went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful trip. Couldn’t recommend the tour and James enough :)Trip date: March 2023
