Mario and Paula Landry, North Island Highlights, Travelled on 3 Feb 2025

Everything that was booked top notch, everything was on time and on scheduled. It was a huge positive experience.

Clare Pashley, Queenstown Adventure, Travelled on 3 Feb 2025

Really enjoyed my week. It was beautifully organised. The Milford Sound day was the best, loved the boat trip up the fiord. In Queenstown it would have helped if the hotel had been at the bottom of the hill instead of the top! A big thank you to Harriet for organising it all for me and for even phoning me in the UK to finalise the itinerary.

Kaylene Alexander & Joyce Kouw, Southern Gems Circuit, Travelled on 4 Feb 2025

Everything was well organised and ran extremely smooth.

Rema Kandaramath, Rema's South Island Explorer, Travelled on 25 Jan 2025

It was well planned and executed and was comfortable. Great sights and good guides to explain very clearly and professionally. Very punctual with pickups and drops. Overall pleasant, not very crowded and enjoyable. Thanks

Renee & Georgia Boulos, Anne & Grace Badr, Upper North Island Adventure, Travelled on 26 Jan 2025

We had an awesome holiday and were so pleased with how smoothly and easily it went. So well organised and it included adventures that we never would have done on our own so thank you for putting together such a fantastic itinerary! Stand outs for us were Te Pa Tu culturally experience in Rotorua as well as the Wai Ariki spa experience. Also all of Bay of Islands is just stunning. We will definitely do this style of holiday next time to see the rest of New Zealand! Thank you!

Ron & Janice Heggem, Grand Pacific Tours 14 Day Ultimate Panorama, Travelled on 15 Jan 2025

Trip was high end it seemed and we got in to see lots of New Zealand South Island primarily. Much better than taking a cruise there! All of us on trip got along well and we enjoyed our guide Craig. Did not need our extra bags and jackets. Created more for us to deal with. Your country is beautiful!

Pratima Ponnuru & Uno Nellore, Your Christchurch to Queenstown Getaway, Travelled on 23 Jan 2025

Everything went smoothly. The hotels/ apartments were nice and decent. The drivers/ guides were friendly and polite and nice.

Alan Reed & Robert Forshaw, 2 day Christchurch to Queenstown Journey including TranzAlpine Train, Travelled on 20 Jan 2025

The whole trip exceeded our expectations. Apart from the organisation of the two-day journey, we found our driver on the trip from Franz Joseph down to Wanaka with Cheeky Kiwi very helpful informative and a great asset to the company. Our contact with your company. Iwan Jenkins was excellent

Alexie Boulton & Jamie Chung, Lord of the Rings New Zealand, Travelled on 6 Jan 2025

It was a lot of fun and extremely well organised, couldn’t have asked for more.

Syed Shiraz & Darlene Hyder, Christchurch to Queenstown Experience, Travelled on 9 Jan 2025

Alfred is very personable, knowledgeable and promptly responsive. We enjoyed working with him. Everything went well like a clockwork during our tour and we thank Alfred and his company for a job well done!

Kym and Kwang-Sun Blair, Grand Pacific 14 Day Signature Panorama, Travelled on 30 Dec 2024

Sabina Din at New Zealand Coach Tours coordinated the most awesome bus tour anyone could imagine. The tour consisted of about 10 days on South Island (think fiords, lakes, waterfalls, and millions of sheep) and about 4 days on North Island (think Hobbiton and more sheep). Each day was action packed with activities; one was on a 1912 coal-burning steamboat, another was on a rail excursion through the Alps, and another was on a speed boat that could do 360-degree spins). Our driver John had incredible stories, history, and humor, and our guide Brenda was so considerate and thoughtful, taking care of any request. Every hotel offered gorgeous rooms and included huge breakfasts and awesome dinners. We didn't need to plan anything for ourselves; even the transfers from and to the airports were pre-arranged for us.

Ina Maoate and George Nohokau, Ina's 5 day Dunedin, Queenstown, Milford Sound and Mt. Cook, Travelled on 2 Jan 2025

Kia Ora Neisha, thank you so much for arranging our fantastic holiday, just an amazing experience and you met all our expectations:-))

Frank Spears, Frank's South Island Loop, Travelled on 27 Dec 2024

Excellent itinerary. Good hotels and motels. Pickups and minibus tours were on time.

Anita Pravinlal and Pravinlal Maganlal Chouhan, Southern Gems Circuit, Travelled on 28 Nov 2024

Iwan has to be commended for brilliant communication care and support all the way through the planning and making it so memorable for us . The accommodation transport and staff involved were excellent and to be congratulated for making our lifetime trip memorable. Thank you from Pravin and Anita

Jo-anne & Megan Tucker, Jo-Anne & Megan's Mother Daughter New Zealand Tour!, Travelled on 23 Nov 2024

Sophie was amazing. We had the best trip. THANK YOU

Freddie & Bernadette Vernon, Southern Highlights with Milford Sound & Mount Cook, Travelled on 16 Dec 2024

The trip was absolutely amazing. We had no idea that we would see such fantastic scenery in such a beautiful country. The entire trip was organised to perfection in every aspect and detail. To say we got value for money is an understatement. On our way back from Milford Sound we had to take a long detour due to a very serious road accident. This added 3 to 4 hours to our journey. Despite this, we were looked after extremely well by our driver Bruce who did a trojan job driving us back. Hats off to him. We must also say a huge thank you to Harriet McGregor for her many emails and telephone calls whilst our trip was being organised. Always willing to help and share good advice. We fell in love with New Zealand and would love to return at a future time. Thanks again for a marvellous time.

Alanah Fitch and Al Benson, Alanah and Al's South Island Adventure, Travelled on 16 Dec 2024

Brilliant trip. We had a fantastic time

Patricia Wood, 9 Day AAT Kings Southern Spotlight 24/25, Travelled on 8 Dec 2024

Travelling from the UK and staying in Australia I found it very easy to sort out travel plans to New Zealand and have any queries answered from afar. It was a wonderful trip and ticked all the boxes. The organisation of the trip was smooth Chantivee a great guide and Simon an excellent driver - and of course the scenery was amazing!

Sue Warrington, Sue's initial North Island explorer (no breakfast), Travelled on 9 Dec 2024

Shelby was very helpful and very professional

Victoria Corbett, North Island Travels!, Travelled on 13 Nov 2024

Thank you Carly. You were excellent to work with and very patient. Traveling alone with your outstanding itinerary worked so well. Loved the places you picked for me to stay. I went to Te Papa twice for longish visits. 👍❤️ All LOTR stuff was plain fun.😄 Train trip great. The entire trip really was perfect. I wish we were not so far away.
