    Our guide and itinerary were very good, but accommodations were uneven with the Bealey Quarter Hotel, where the tour began and ended, having substandard accommodations and services.

    Haka Tours was amazing - tour radar however was a shambles, I was sent to the wrong meeting place, given no contact details and not told I had a nights accomodation in Christchurch before the tour started - I will be seeking compensation although since I was told this happens 'all the time' with tour radar I'm not sure how successful this will be

    Outstanding overview of the entire country. Liked that we stayed most places for 2 nights rather than changing accommodations every night. Provided numerous activities at all locations although some were a bit spendy especially those that included flying i.e. Heli Hikes on Franz Josef Glacier. Hobbiton was a highlight as was Queenstown's 4WD LOTR locations tour. Our guide was well versed on history and Māori culture and shared great insights on both during the travel time we had on the bus. Bus was comfortable and provided great views of the amazing landscape. Well-paced for the number of days included.
