  • Christchurch to Auckland Must Do Tour - 14 Day reviewer 1
    · October 31st, 2024
    am highly disappointed in this company. They knew I needed to finalize my plans quickly but assigned me to a travel agent who was going on holiday. She went on holiday and did not book my trip for a week. This meant things I wanted to do filled up. If I had booked this trip myself I would have saved money and gotten to do things I wanted to do that I now longer can. I am agitated that the travel agent was irresponsible and ruined part of my trip. Don’t use this company especially Tia.
