  I had an amazing trip with an amazing group of people! Guy was an excellent guide with great knowledge of everywhere we went to! He was also great at getting activities organised for us! Itinerary was also excellent, a great mix of activities and natural sights as well as visiting some of the iconic towns and cities. Would happily do this trip again!Show more

  The tour from star to end was excellently organised and executed. Our tour guide and driver Guy was incredible, extremely knowledge in all things New Zealand which gave us a unique and personalised experience. I was able to pack in and learn so much in the two and half weeks that I was in New Zealand and am already planning a return trip.Show more

  Incredible trip that I will never forget! Our excellent guide took us to all the beautiful places worth seeing in this country and always kept us entertained and laughing. I was traveling alone, but with the people in my tour group I made great friends from day one! We enjoyed our time to the fullest and had so much fun doing all the great activities we tried during the trip. Can only recommend this tour!Show more

  Really great tour overall, got pretty lucky with some of the activities cause they can be weather dependent. Was not able to do black water and white water rafting on the north island or the Tongariro alpine crossing. Guy was extremely informative and was very flexible with changing plans if something didn't work out. Was a pretty good pace for most of the tour, aside from three places on the south island where we stayed for only night. Still saw the majority of the cool things around the island, would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore New Zealand!Show more

  Great adventure, alot of experiances to enjoy. Its a slower pace tour in the sense that there is alot of time on the road travelling from place to place. The nightlife scene was more around Pubs rather than clubs. The tour is mainly focused on exploration, seeing the country via Hikes, Planes, Helicopters and such. There are many cultural experiances that get you into the Kiwi lifestyle, along with plenty of lord of the rings experiances along the way.Show more

  Had an absolute blast on this trip! New Zealand is such an incredible country and the trip was a great way to get a taster of both islands, I will definitely be returning to explore more. Our leader Jimmy and driver Em were both incredible at their jobs and made the experience that much better. Everything was well organised and the inclusions and optionals were great. I made friends for life on this tour and can't recommend enough! :)Show more

  It was a really amazing experience, I am really thankful for a good job Scotty and Craig did. Apart some small things like no wifi on the bus and crazy priced one at accommodations everything was really good. Really felt in love with Queenstown, Wellington , Milford Sound. However, I think , that some activities should be included , otherwise a day is spent doing nothing. E.g. Fox glacier, if you do not go for a hike , there's like 3 cafes and you in the middle of nowhere , same goes for rotorua , I did rafting , because otherwise there's nothing else to do, which is king of annoying a bit. Lastly, I suggest 1 day instead of 2 in Tongariro park , because apart from walks (it was raining and foggy) there's nothing else. More time in Wellington would have been cool. Also , if possible finish tours in a different way, because the last day of tour for nearly all people (6 day and 10 day and 14 day) was driving in the morning and getting left somewhere , in our case Auckland without a tour in the city and simply a sad mood. Apart from these small things ,everthing was amazing - the team, the people I went with , didn't expect so many solo travellers which made it so good. Loved the glow worms walk in Fox glacier forest , all the things done South Island - lake Matheson was amazing , lake Ahau , furry seals and overall all! ThanksShow more

  Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you had a great time! We are always looking at ways to improve the standard of our trips and your comment regarding accommodation caught our eye. As our trips are catered for the 18-39 age bracket we tend not to offer chain hotels on the outskirts of the city, we choose accommodation that is suited to the local surroundings, whether it's in the base village of a glacier, or a lodge sitting on the edge of a lake. We always look for and maintain that you will find clean, comfortable accommodation averaging 3-3.5 star. If you would like to tell us about a specific property that was not to your standards, please email us at info@topdeck.travel Thanks again & best regards, Team Topdeck
