C Jackson, Customized The Southern Circuit Self Drive Tour

My trip around New Zealand was AMAZING! A big part of the great experience was the superb organisation of the Self Drive Tour which worked like clockwork. I was particularly impressed by your ability to modify the basic package to suit my particular needs. Another big plus was your suggestions and bookings for some of the events and tours that I did through my trip which were a huge addition to my enjoyment and again worked like clockwork. Very impressive was the constant engagement in planning the trip and the rapid responses to my requests especially when I needed to change some things when I was part way round. I have no hesitation in recommending Discover New Zealand to anyone considering a tour of this fantastic country Nicole was great in the planning phase and Jo was super efficient during my trip. Many thanks and well done!

D & L Bursey, Discover New Zealand Tour

We were very pleased with the itinerary that Discover New Zealand presented. Their App was excellent! Easy to follow and so much information and suggested activities. The accommodations were all good, if not excellent. The car rental went smoothly, especially in Picton in the South Island, once we got to the counter, it took 2 minutes to be processed, not 15 minutes for other car rental customers. Any issues that were caused by the weather (flooding in Milford Sound), alternative transportation was offered and our cruise wasn?t cancelled. The staff anticipated problems and let us know great service. New Zealand is a must-see country and having an experienced tour company made the trip stress free.

E & L Callaghan and T Sterndale, North Island Highlights

Firstly may I congratulate you on your wonderful planning and organisational skills. You organised our trip right down to the smallest detail. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you and the Discover New Zealand. It's a long time since we have received such outstanding service from a travel consultant. Highlights were:- 1. Experiencing New Year's Eve with all the locals in the streets below the tower in Auckland. What a wonderful atmosphere. We were amongst a huge crowd but we felt safe. 2. Although very busy at that time of year, we loved the Bay of Islands. What a beautiful spot. 3. The Canopy walk near Rotorua was breathtaking. Not to be missed! 4. The trip on board the Northern Explorer from Wellington to Auckland was a treat. It was great to just sit back and relax and watch the wonderful scenery just drift past. This was especially relaxing after all that driving on the first part of our trip. Overall ? a great experience. Thank you.

So, let's get planning! Get in touch with our expert team and they can help you Discover New Zealand.
