    The New Zealand North to South tour was an incredible experience! The itinerary was well-planned, offering a perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes, cultural experiences, and exciting activities. From the stunning beaches of the North Island to the majestic fjords and mountains of the South Island, every destination exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to our tour leader, Peter Fletcher, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and excellent organization made the journey even more enjoyable. His insights and friendly approach added a personal touch, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time. Highly recommended Tour Rod from Malta, EU
