- LFLorne· February 25th, 2025Excellent, guide and driver were exceptional.Trip date: February 2025
- BBBob· March 16th, 2024New 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.Show moreTrip date: February 2024
- TTTran Trong· December 24th, 2023Excellent 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.Show moreTrip date: December 2023
- Ichiko· January 24th, 2023Good schedule, good accommodation, good tour conductor, good driverTrip date: January 2023
- DHDavid· February 23rd, 2020Both 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.Show moreAAT Kings commented on this reviewHi David, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
