What travelers are saying

"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."
