I have a family of 4. My wife and I are in our 40s and our 2 boys are ages 14 and 17. Is the 18-39 age firm or flexible?

Unfortunately, our age policy is firm. We have a minimum age of 18 to join our tours, so we wouldn't be able to accommodate your sons at this time. However, we recommend checking TourRadar, as they often have family-friendly options with a wider age range!

Is private accommodation in New Zealand extremely expensive? I'm travelling with my husband and we would want a private room including a washroom.

We don't have a private "my own room" option for New Zealand unfortunately. We only run one tour in New Zealand. Our tour is also for travellers aged 18-45. I see you've said that there would be a child travelling with this. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to accommodate this.

Could you tell me more about the transport?

This is a group tour and you'll be travelling with a Tru Travels Tour Leader and a group of like-minded travellers throughout the 13 days. The tour includes all transport between destinations, which is a mix of private minivan, public bus, and a domestic flight from Auckland to Christchurch. So while we handle all the logistics for you, there's still plenty of free time built into the itinerary to explore at your own pace.

I wanted to ask about the accommodation, I would prefer my own room, is this possible for this tour?

We do not offer 'my own room' for our New Zealand Adventure as we use hostels for the tour.
