- 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
MARUSCA· November 11th, 2024The tour went ok in the end despite a couple of set backs due to adverse whether conditions of two main tour activities.Show moreTrip date: October 2024- RARichard· April 4th, 2024New Zealand and my itinerary was perfect! I had to be efficient since I only had 10 days and wanted to see both islands of NZ. The Highlights Tour put together by Bucket List Tours was exactly what I was hoping for and it exceeded my expectations. Before leaving the US, Bucket List Tours connected with me and made sure we were able to communicate throughout my trip via WhatsApp. And that was super helpful since there were a number of times where I was able to clarify logistical items on the itinerary to ensure such things as being at the right pickup locations for scheduled day tours. Bucket Lisr Tours was always very responsive and helped me do everything I had on my list for New Zealand. I would highly recommend Bucket List Tours to anyone and am already planning on using them again in the future!Show more
