- STSastry· December 30th, 2024Overall the itinerary was good. Would have liked to include a T trip to Wellington and a day in Christchurch. The hotels in Queenstown and Franz Joseph though good were not in the town and arranging for transportation to the city for dinners were problematic. Would recommend better lodging in the city. The pickups and drops were good except in Auckland where the taxi to the airport arrived almost 1.5 hrs late with very poor communications or updates. The tour guides were good.. Overall it was a memorable trip. We were surprised that nobody from Tourradar or BucketList were there to meet us at any point of the trip.Show moreTrip date: December 2024
