WHAT IS THE TOUR GROUP SIZE? Can you book a night at the hotel for us on Dec 12 as well as 13? Are all gratuities for driver and guides included? Does this coach have wi-fi? Are all excursions included?

Tour Group Size: This tour typically has an average of 18 guests, with a maximum group size of 20. This ensures an intimate and personalized travel experience. Hotel Booking for December 12 & 13: We can certainly check availability for pre-tour accommodations from December 12 to 13. Gratuities: While prepaid gratuities are not included, we do provide recommended daily amounts per person for your Driver Guide and Travel Concierge once your booking is confirmed (subject to change). Wi-Fi on the Coach: Most of our motorcoaches are equipped with Wi-Fi; however, it operates via a cellular network and may be intermittent due to New Zealand's terrain. There is a daily data cap of 100 MB per guest, suitable for email use but not ideal for streaming or media-heavy activities.
