Customer Reviews
- Kristina· November 20th, 2023Kelvin was a fantastic toyr guide and driver. He was so calm when things didn't go according to plan, too. I would totaly trust him to live in my apt. in Sweden by himself wile I'm in my koloni summer house twenty minutes away in the city. The bus rides went by so fast. There was comfort, many things to see, and good music. I loved having two days alone in Queenstown. I had fancy seafood and a pavlova by the lake, plus my American Starbucks. I loved lamb twice that was included for me. I felt like it became my own trip despite not feeling like any of the much younger tripmates became my friends. It went by so fast, and I am back in Christchurch.Show more
- Henry· May 5th, 2023I had an amazing trip with an amazing group of people! Guy was an excellent guide with great knowledge of everywhere we went to! He was also great at getting activities organised for us! Itinerary was also excellent, a great mix of activities and natural sights as well as visiting some of the iconic towns and cities. Would happily do this trip again!Show more

Asked on November 25th, 2024I am interested in this tour package to South Island. I was wondering if this can be customized. Could you also let me know about the accomodations?
TopdeckOperator•Written November 2024Unfortunately we cannot customize our tours, do you have any other specific questions regarding what takes place on this tour that I can help with? For this tour the accommodation is hotel style (with one night in a hostel).

Traveler•Written November 2024I am actually planning this trip with my partner, so was wondering if the accommodation would be private.
- TopdeckOperator•Written November 2024
Yes, the hotel rooms are private! You and your partner would have your own room. This would only exclude the one night in the hostel where you would be in a shared space.

Asked on May 19th, 2024I am wondering if there is an option for private rooms? I'd only like to book if I can have my own room.
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2024
I can confirm that we do have single rooms available on this departure date, however, I also must let you know that is currently not a guaranteed departure. The closest departure that is guaranteed is on 23 August.

Traveler•Written May 2024When do you know if the tour in July will go ahead?
- TopdeckOperator•Written May 2024
I have looked into the dates for you and can see the July 12 departure is not guaranteed either, unfortunately. Most of these dates are a little further out from the one you requested, and the one's that are fast approaching do hold some risk when booking as well.
