I was a little worried about how tight it was going to be from one event to the next but Joanna had organised it all beautifully. On my first night the last event I went to was Te Po (Indigenous Evening Experience) and when I walked outside I was just about to ring a taxi when a private driver tapped me on the shoulder and told me that Joanna had organised him to pick me up!!! I was not only amazed at her organisation skills but how caring she was ensuring that I was looked after! I was very thankful as I wont lie I was by myself and it was pretty dark so having my 'guardian travel agent' be looking out for me at all times was just heart warming. Even though it was only for two days I had the time of my life and everyone couldn't believe how much I was able to fit in during the time I had - all thanks to Joanna!!! Therefore, I can't recommend Discover New Zealand enough especially Joanna Bullus whether it be for some activities to do while traveling for business or maybe your a mum like me and you want to have a quick adventure! I can't wait for my next mini adventure. Thank you so much Joanna for looking after me. Best wishes, Laura

Discover New Zealand is truly fortunate to have Christina because she is knowledgeable, highly motivated and passionate in her work. Here are some comments specific about the trip. The accommodation was generally good except for Econ Lodge Canterbury Court, Christchurch. The reason was because the room was cold due to insufficient heating. The accommodation at Geraldine was a pleasant surprise as it was arranged at the last minute due to an unplanned event. I loved its whirlpool and the room’s European style. Picking up and dropping off at Christchurch Airport was a nice touch. Of all the activities, I think I liked the Twin Glaciers scenic helicopter ride the most, followed by the Milford Sound cruise, and then the Shotover Jet boat ride. I was totally mesmerized by the Lord of the Rings landscape around Te Anau. I think a couple of events , the Te Anau Glow Worm Caves and the TSS Earnslaw cruise to Walter Peak, would be more interesting if both activities could be scheduled when there is still daylight. Since both activities involved travelling by boat first and because it was already dark by the time I got into the boat, I couldn’t see the scenery along the way. However, I also understood the tight trip schedule probably had prevented you from setting them up during the day. The gourmet dinner was just fabulous. All in all, it was an excellent trip and thank you Christina for your great effort!
