- AGeorgina S· August 12th, 2018Very well organised. You get to see a lot of a place in a short amount of time. I think it would be an idea to somehow inform people of the age of people.

- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2024
The tour is suitable for all travellers within the 18-39 age bracket, hostels are generally used rather than hotels however, so if you prefer options such as a twin room rather than multishare, we'd recommend our Classic tours.

Angela
Asked on March 26th, 2024I booked a tour of New Zealand which has been canceled. I'm looking for an alternative tour, I arrive in Auckland on the 4th April and fly back from Auckland on the 29th April. Is there any availability on your tour that starts on April 6th? I see it ends on April 26th, would that give me enough time to make my flight home?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2024
The April 6th departure has 1 space left, but please note that this tour is On Request. This means your booking is not confirmed until we receive notification from our local operations team. The last day is a free day, you can depart any time.
