I was blown away - I was expecting an “old people tour!” I will recommend this experience to all. Friendly group - became a family unit. An awesome all round experience. Cannot fault! Our Coach Captain created positive relationships and wow, what a treat the coach was! Loved the seats, availability of water and the panoramic windows.

What a wonderful tour, Coach Captain, hotels, tours and meals. It’s been like a gourmet travel adventure with stunning views thrown in. We have had a fabulous time, and our group had a great time together. Our Coach Captain was a great person to be with, so full of knowledge on every city, town, and her history knowledge of New Zealand was so informative.
