Customer Reviews
- Peter· May 7th, 2025Our 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.Show more
- Tim· April 13th, 2025Outstanding 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.Show more
- Hilda· March 16th, 2025The tour was excellent, a very good itinerary, our tour leader, Adam had a very good knowledge & his commentary on road while driving from one place to another was very good, he stopped at interesting spots for us to spend time, view & take pictures.Show more

Asked on April 9th, 2022I'm booking this trip for my parents, who are fit but in their 70's. I was wondering if I can pay a surcharge/upgrade for their accommodations to be upgraded. And also wondering about the minimum number of people required for this date to not be cancelled.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2022
All of our tours are already set in a trip style, so that is the style that you book into and there would not be changes to the standard of the accommodation. Often if there is camping guests can upgrade to cabins on site if they are available for a charge to be paid in destination. There is a minumim number of 6 guests to have the tour run.
