- BKBahram· July 18th, 2024Loved exploring New Zealand. The Tour Guide was super, very friendly, and caring. The bus was very bad. The itinerary was not accurate plus not giving you enough detail to know how to pack for the trip. The 3-star is because of the great tour leader otherwise I am pretty sure my rating would be 2-star.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Bahram, thank you for your feedback. It is important for Intrepid to know when we are not quite getting our touring experience as we hope to. We are happy to know that the country and your guide were positive aspects of your touring.

- NTNamfon· June 11th, 2024I really enjoyed and had a good vocation with this tour. Our guide (Robbie John) was great taking care of us. The program is good and would recommend friends for this excellent one.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHey there Namfon, thanks for your great review! We are so glad to hear you had a good time, and we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Robbie John's manager :)Trip date: April 2024
- CSCarol· March 3rd, 2024Meals along the way were to rushed with having to find place to eat and eat before getting on the bus. Would be better for preorder, have in a cooler on the bus so we can just stop, relax and eat at nice spot along the way. Loved mix of internationals and ages in the group. Hostels were clean and well located. Guide was organized and kept group together and on time. Coordination and information dispensed was not good between TourRadar, Haka Tours and Intrepid. Questions asked kept being referred to be answered by actual guide when on the trip and felt I would have preferred to know what was possible (subject to weather) before arrival as response several times was advised this might not be tour for me.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Carol, thanks for your honest review of your New Zealand trip.
