    New Zealand is a land with many places to see. It is a place rich in sites and in history, owing to the fact that two separate cultures have occupied the space. Fortunately our tour director and guide Chantavee was excellent at explaining both the history and providing context to the sites. I did not lower my reading due to the fact that the bus ride just sucked; it was a necessary part of the overall experience.

    Excellent tour with experienced Tour Director and Driver from AAT Kings. All excursions with estimated costs should be provided in the ads for the tour so as reader can plan and budget for the overall cost; not just providing these excursions and estimated costs a short period before the Tour.

    Both the tour guide and driver were excellent as was the quality of both the breakfast and dinner meals. However, with the exception of the Agrodome and the final evening’s farm presentation of a working sheepdog, most of the rest of the tour was average. It certainly didn’t help that the entire Milford fiord tour was cancelled. I am curious as to the size of the promised rebate in view of the importance of “highlight” of the entire tour.
