    Hannah was very kind and caring! She always makes sure everyone is okay. It was a pleasure to travel with her. The fact that we were in a small group was very nice. The itinerary gave me a great overview of the North Island in a few days. I would highly recommend this trip to friends!

    After finding backyard roadies on google I have been so impressed from the start with answering questions advice and had the most amazing time on the North island tour! Loved the people in my group the places we went to and the activities we did - an excellent itinerary. Hannah is a star and was very lucky to have her as a tour guide - thank you for everything. I’m very excited to carry on with the second half of the 20 day tour and explore the South Island!

    Had a brilliant time on the North Island tour. Was only 6 of us, which gave things an intimate feel and allowed us to get to know each other. Definitely went to a few places I'd never have found on my own, although some of the accommodations we used were maybe not up to scratch. Almost all the activities were excellent though, and Hannah is a fantastic tour leader!

    I had a great time with the Tour, Hannah was excellent and very accommodating, always trying to make sure everything went well, even if the weather wasn't with us. She told us lot's of fun fact about New Zealand (I especially liked the one about New Zealand having the most one lane bridge in the world :) ) The group was great too - lot's of good memories. If possible I'll do something similar again!

    Amazing 10 days in the North with the group and hannah! She is a brilliant tour leader, ringing and arranging everything so we could fit all our optional activities around the included ones! Loved the Maori experience and the hangi, and enjoyed everyday!
