"A beautiful experience. Our guide, Marty, made sure that on our long bus rides we were occupied. We played trivia, watched movies, saw scenes from the lord of the rings, and each of us stood up and gave a short autobiography of ourselves. Our driver was excellent on all of those winding mountain roads. It’s a beautiful itinerary and and New Zealand is a beautiful country."

What travelers are saying
"I loved how they had it all laid out. There are 2 different things that would be great to add. There should be a spa day between Toyko and Koyto and koyto and Hiroshima. Also a couple more visits to smaller towns is what I was looking for. I wanted to see more of the traditional homes then big cities that I see here already.
Great trip otherwise!"

"Loved the itinerary of this tour! So many amazing sites to visit and learn about on this great tour! One of my favorite places of the tour was Marta and the weaving! She is amazing! She showed and explained how the weaving is done! I absolutely was in aw of what she makes! Absolutely beautiful! I purchased a few of her items. I purchased a what we called a table scarf. It is absolutely beautiful cream color with words in Italian that mean a lot to Marta. It made want this and I couldn’t leave without purchasing it. I purchased book markers she makes. They are beautiful. She gives you a paper with the information about the product you purchased. My granddaughter knew about her work before I did. She signed a journal for her which I was not sure she would because it was an unusual ask.. Marta’s work is gorgeous and well worth the cost and beauty.
The Travel Director was amazing! He explained each day the way it would operate at the sites we were going to visit! Great local guides were also chosen by him! Food was amazing! Love the farm to table site and coking demonstration. We were unable to see truffle hunting due to an injury by the man. However they made it a great experience at site with wine tasting and tasting of other local items made from their vineyards. It was a wonderful unexpected experience
Absolutely loved the whole experience of this tour!"

"This was a tremendous trip. Nice mix of New Zealand s spectacular scenery and cultural highlights. In Australia Cairns was interesting for culture and great barrier reef, which is unfortunetely getting bleached due to rising ocean temps.The Sydney Opera house was amazing. Our Auastralian guide was knowledgeable and very organized. Only complaint was that at 37 folks the trip was too large in our opinion."
