"The tour was amazing, Sean kept everyone’s spirits high with his jokes. The actual landscapes were breathtaking, so I would 100% recommend. Our days were mostly packed with fun activities, or we were left to do things on our own. But overall we did things as groups. I love The Lord of The Rings, so this tour was perfect as it was full of locations from the films. Will definitely be booking another tour soon.

"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The group we were a part of was just exceptional and we loved our time with them. Our guide was knowledgeable, amusing and bent over backward to make our time with him fulfilling, educational and comfortable. Our time wasn't without adversity, as a major road closure altered our itinerary significantly on one day. The alternate agenda turned out to be a fantastic experience. The only downside was that while the overnight accommodations were adequate, a couple were severely cramped for space. This may just be par for the course in New Zealand though and we adjusted accordingly. It was still a 5 of 5 adventure.
