- Laurie· February 29th, 2020we had a fabulous time! If there would be a complaint it would be that we had a lot more meals and fun than what was advertised. Can't compliment this trip enough!Show more
- Wendy· January 21st, 2019Had not travelled with Scenic before however I am now a convert. Totally enjoyed the places we visited and the free choices available. Top class local guides and excellent activities. New Zealand itself is beautiful. We were a group of 40 and everyone was fabulous. Our tour director Sally was brilliant, totally in touch with everyone and very jolly all along. Very professional. Our driver Alan was also excellent, very knowledgeable on all the places we travelled through. What a lot of fun.Show more

Asked on December 18th, 2023I have a question about the Southern Spectacular Tour. I am traveling alone - does the price include a private room?
- Scenic Luxury Cruises & ToursOperator•Written December 2023
All prices are per-person based on double occupancy and it is possible for you to get a private room. If you are interested, we could request a quote with a private room from Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours.

Traveler•Written December 2023Can you please see if it's possible to have a private room and how much that would cost? Can you also confirm that all accommodations are included in the price?
- Scenic Luxury Cruises & ToursOperator•Written December 2023
If you're travelling alone, a single room will be on request. This means that it may take Scenic up to 5 business days to be able to confirm with their accommodation suppliers if they're able to obtain another single room or not. Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours is a fully-inclusive tour operator, meaning all accommodations are included in the price.

Asked on February 9th, 2023What is meant by the word freechoice?
- Scenic Luxury Cruises & ToursOperator•Written February 2023
The word "Freechoice" means that when you book the tour, you will have the option to book one of the free optional activities that Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours offers you! This would be for free, and not for an additional price.
