Douglas· September 30th, 2024Overall this was an excellent tour. There was a good variety of activities offered to cover all ages. Our CEO Siobahn was amazing. Her local knowledge and presentation were exemplary. The pace was generally good except for one day from Franz Joseph to Queenstown. It was a very early start due to the long distance. The hotel could not provide an early breakfast so there were some complaints. Our CEO went out and bought some cereals, muffins and bread so we could eat in the common kitchen. We found that this tour was aimed more to the younger crowd, so we had to adjust our expectations somewhat. We have toured quite a lot and we have been spoiled with luggage transportation from bus to room and back, eg: Gate1, Viking etc. There were 6 elders on this tour. Perhaps pre-trip advisories might mention that luggage would be self handling and there may be some stairs involved. The only thing that caught us off guard was the following. We have never been on a tour that left guests dead ending in a location far away from the starting point. I didn’t carefully read into this until well after I had booked air tickets Vancouver-Auckland return. Thus, I had to do re- booking from Christchurch to Auckland. This could be a bold letter warning for future travellers. Another little glitch that we experienced was a lack of information sharing between the TourRadar app and the Gadventure app. Our CEO was telling us in the beginning that daily info would be posted on the Gadventure site. Our trip didn’t even show up on the Gadventure site for many days. Also I need to complain about the E-sim for New Zealand that I bought through TourRadar. I think it’s called Alio. It didn’t work for phone calls. It worked well for Google Maps and it worked for ordering an Uber. It also rendered the Apple Messaging app useless on my phone and iPad. I should have dumped it early on the tour and bought a local sim.Show more
