- AValerie· June 5th, 2025Overall, we did love our trip and the choice of locations to stop for. 22. People was a nice size. Our tour guide and bus driver were fantastic. In general, most of the hotels were OK, but we felt like second rate citizens always getting their lesser rooms with bad views. Perhaps an option to upgrade rooms would be a solution for people willing to spend an up charge. The attached pictures are from the hotel at the Bay of Islands. The condition of the room was substandard. Even at Restaurants, we were relegated to tables with bad views. Vegetarian options were very limited and redundant. This was consistent with throughout the trip. Making us feel like low class citizens.Show moreTrip date: December 2024Review collected by Collette

- AClaudia· June 5th, 2025All of N. Zealand is beautiful from north to south, from the Bay of Islands to Milford Sound with mountain and ocean and lakes galore. How can you choose just one favorite. Now it's the land of Hobbits as well as sheep and cows, and even a lot of very nice people.Show moreTrip date: February 2025Review collected by Collette

- ADeldi· October 30th, 2024Collette’s Covid policies leave a lot to be desired. Tour inclusions would have been nice but most of the best ones were rained out including Fiji extension. Tour leader was amazing.Show moreTrip date: January 2023Review collected by Collette
- ADiane· October 30th, 2024Our tour took started on the day that a state-of-emergency was declared in Aukland because of completely excessive rainfall and flooding/landslides. The next 10 days were spent one step ahead of the next disaster. Through it all, our tour manager (and the coach driver) were innovative and flexible with itinerary changes that may have ended up improving over the original plans! One example was the visit to the Antarctic Center, which was just plain fun. Collette's home office was good about approving and footing the bill for "substitute" activities to make up for planned activities that were closed/canceled because of the disaster, which we appreciate. We also enjoyed having a very small tour group of people who were on-time for departures and flexible about schedule/itinerary changes. A good experience overall, and we know it had a lot to do with our tour manager and driver working hard on our behalf.Show moreTrip date: January 2023Review collected by Collette

- AChristine· October 30th, 2024I think the flight schedule was not as thought out. I had an eight-hour layover in Chicago. The same airline had two additional flights after the flight from St. Louis that would have reduced the layover by hours. An eight hour layover is too long before a 16-hour flight. Also, there was a lot of driving. I thin you could have cut out one stop and reduced the driving significantly. Our tour guide was excellent and did a great job distracting us from all of the driving, but there was too much!Show moreTrip date: March 2023Review collected by Collette
- AWilliam· October 30th, 2024Our tour guide, Sharon, arranged birthday surprises from the hotel and group dinner location in Wellington for my 76th. Balloons, glitter and a banner in the hotel and a birthday cake and Happy Birthday serenade from the members of our tour and restaurant staff. Incredible!Show moreTrip date: March 2023Review collected by Collette
