  • A

    Arthur

    Asked on July 9th, 2025

    Is it possible for us to share a room/bed on this trip?

    Accommodation
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The rooms are multi-share, mixed-sex dorms. If you're travelling with your fiancée, we can link your bookings and ensure that you're roomed together in the same dorm. If you'd prefer a bit more privacy, we can look into a private room option for an additional £500.

  • S

    Shane

    Asked on February 25th, 2025

    Would he not be allowed to go or is there any experience that would make it difficult for him to participate?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten February 2025

      Unfortunately the hostels we stay at in New Zealand do not accept anyone over the age of 45, so we wouldn't be able to book your father onto a tour there.

  • E

    Erika

    Asked on January 3rd, 2025

    Is there an option to upgrade to single room accommodation for an extra fee or is dorm share the only option?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      We can certainly look into the possibility of a private room for you. However we do room you with someone of the same gender (excluding multi-share accommodation) and try our best to room you with someone of a similar age. Also Group Members are in their hotel rooms for a very limited time throughout the trip, as there are activities most days and things planned most evenings.

    • E

      Erika

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Is this a single room upgrade for every night?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      For a private room it would cost an extra $600 USD and this would be a private room for the entirity of the tour, however just to make you aware some of the accommodations will still have shared bathrooms on the landings instead of ensuites.

    Emma

    Asked on November 23rd, 2024

    I'm interested in joining one of your tours in New Zealand. Could you please provide more details about the new itinerary starting from January 5th? Could you explain how the NZ Adventure North and NZ Intro North tours differ?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      NZ Adventure is a 9 day group tour showing the best of either the North or South Island. NZ Intro has all the same inclusions plus additional support for working holiday travelers, including bank account setup, IRD Number, NZ SIM card, and access to INTRO Jobs Program.

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      I wanted to visit Thailand or Vietnam in August of 2023. Also, please let me know if you can accommodate a vegan diet on the trip.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2022

      Yes absolutely we can cater for the vegan diet - we will make your group leader aware before you head out and that way they will be prepared with alternatives.
