Dávid· March 17th, 2024My 3-week trip to New Zealand was fantastic! We saw a lot of the country, even though it was during Christmas and New Year's. Some activities weren't available due to the holidays, but our guides, Ben and Tegan, made sure we had a great time regardless. Ben and Tegan were amazing, sharing interesting facts about New Zealand and keeping the trip fun. The tour offered good value, with nice accommodations (except for one place in Rotorua) and enjoyable included activities. Just keep in mind the cost of optional activities when planning your budget. Also, expect some long drives. Being at the back of the bus can make it hard to see the scenery. Overall, the trip was memorable, thanks to the careful planning and the effort of our guides to ensure we didn't miss out on the fun, despite the holiday season.Show moreTrip date: December 2023- GGeorgina· March 11th, 2019Ben was a fantastic tour guide and companion for so many reasons. He went above and beyond what was expected and genuinely enjoyed getting to know everyone in the group. His knowledge of New Zealand is unparalleled and he loved sharing it with us in creative ways (e.g. a playlist of Kiwi artists). He helped the bonding of the different groups via organising introductions and getting everyone involved in games. He was a very safe driver and also had fun with us on his nights off (when there was no driving the next day). Ben is just an all round good person to hang out with and learn all about New Zealand from!Show more

The tour was great and I had a lot of fun. The only downside was the long drive in the south island.Show moreWild Kiwi commented on this reviewThanks for the great review Leonie!
