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 March 30th, 2024I am a solo traveler and would prefer to have private accommodations. Is that possible and if so, what is the additional charge, and how would I select that upon booking? Is there a size and weight limit for the luggage that I bring? Do you have a list of activities and costs that I am able to pre-book at the different stops on the tour? Is it possible to register before the tour date to ensure that I am able to get the activities that I would like? Is there any place along the tour route that is possible to do laundry? What time on the Sunday start date would I need to be at the tour starting location? Are there any hotels that you would recommend to stay at in Auckland prior and after the tour? Is it possible to have transportation to the Christchurch airport pre-arranged at the end of the tour?
