Louise Hodge organised our tour of the South Island. Our itinerary was perfect from our pick up at the airport to car rental, train travel, accommodation and organised activities. Louise provided great suggestions for interesting places to see along the way. Everything ran like clockwork as we explored the beautiful and fascinating South Island of New Zealand.
It was a memorable trip. Nichole was most helpful - responding promptly to any request. All the accommodation was in very convenient locations. I have never driven a diesel vehicle before but was most happy with it and the diesel price in New Zealand. The South Island is physically stunning and the people friendly. We appreciated the upgrade on the Tranzalpine from Greymouth to Christchurch. Thank you Nichole. Regards, Jim and Gaye Clark
We had a wonderful time on our trip! Lisa was very responsive and knowledgeable and her back-up staff was as well. Highly recommend all the lodging and tour groups that were booked for us.
Great experience. We did all suggestions and very much enjoyed ourselves.
It was a great trip. Both Tour guide and bus driver were excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The trip was very thorough covering both Islands. Meals were good, we would prefer more opportunities to eat out versus a standard meal selection. The options were great
Cruises were better than expected. Saw lots of seals, albatross. People were informative, entertaining and friendly. Akaroa we loved!
Lisa was fantastic, everything suggested met my expectations and was based along the discussions we had regarding my needs. I SO suggest using a local travel agent, you get the local suggestions and knowledge of what to do, where to stay and what to expect. Terrific communication. Thank-you.
The Grand Pacific Tour was great and I would love to see a similar for the North Island.
Janette Bagley did an amazing job of providing support throughout -- from early exploration of potential ideas to prompt follow up at each step of the process. Her communication was clear, responses prompt, and info sent on a timely basis. We highly recommend Janette, as well as your company and Grand Pacific Tours. We are sharing information with some friends and family members who are interested in New Zealand and will send them Janette's contact info.
Very well planned journey. Enjoyed Lake Tekapo, Milford Sound, the buffet dinner, the sheep shearing, Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier. There was quite a bit of driving, but we did get to see a lot of your beautiful country. Special thanks to Hygie, our bus driver to Milford Sound - informative and fun.
Kia ora, Louise was phenomenal in crafting an exceptional itinerary that captured the essence of Aotearoa for a first-time visitor to this beautiful and well-preserved country. The highlights of the trip were Milford Sound and Te Pa Tu in Rotorua. However, everything else we saw was exceptional - Queenstown, Franz Josef Glacier, TranzAlpine rail were all fantastic. The accomodations were perfect and the travel logistics were just fantastic including all the airport pickups and drop-offs. Huge kudos to Louise for curating a beautiful experience for my wife and I. Thanks so much Louise.
The experience was great overall. Angela and team had a lot of patience and knowledge during the planning and discussion stage about a year out from my trip. I was very impressed with the accommodations and seamlessness of going from city to city, tour to tour, and site to site. The lodging was above and beyond, and all of the planning that went into the entire trip made it a great experience for me taking a lot of the stress off my plate. Thank you for doing an amazing job with everything.
The car was perfect for the trip. The accommodations were clean and well located. Suggested stops were good. We felt supported and safe and enjoyed the flexibility of this style of travel.
Lisa and the Discover NZ team have been super helpful. I was very satisfied with their support. Lisa jumped on my inquiry, despite how last minute my booking was. She was very responsive and communicative with my needs and preferences. Also, super warm! The team are able to cater to my wants and wishes, some of the lodging accommodations exceeded my expectations!
Napier was our favorite spot & could have stayed there for a few more days. The zipline tour at Rotorua was amazing & really well run. Thanks again Louise, from Adam
