- BNBeverly· March 12th, 2023All excellent - loved Dexter and John - until the last day. Too much driving that day, lunch hour was rushed, and then the Wellington Travelodge wasn’t a good choice. Lots of mistakes checking in - someone was already in the room they gave us! And the elevators could not service the number of people staying there - made us worried about getting out in an emergency. One of our friends also got locked behind a fire door after using the bathroom on the 6th floor! We had to go search for her and could barely hear her calling behind the fire door. Bay of Islands and Rotorua were terrific - the latter dinner and culture show in particular were compelling. And we enjoyed the variety of people on the tour.Show moreTrip date: March 2023

- TTammyVanExan· October 28th, 2019This trip was excellent! We started in Auckland, worked our way up to the beautiful Bay of Islands where we saw heaps of dolphins during our cruise. Then we went down to Rotorua for a couple of nights where we saw Hobbiton, we saw geysers erupting at Te Puia, and we got to watch the Haka at Tamaki Maori Village. The we headed down to finish in Wellington. The Travel director was amazing and knew so much about the places we were travelling to and the food was really yummy.Show more
