Read moreI was amazed at how smoothly everything went. There were no missed connections. Only one late connection - 3 minutes! The guides were friendly and informative. When we had questions, they were answered very quickly via the app. I wish that we could have met the travel team. We had good communication in building the trip and in picking the options that we wanted to pursue. I would highly recommend Discovery New Zealand. thank you so much, Thanks again - we really appreciate it!

Read moreOnce-in-a-Lifetime New Zealand Experience – Thanks to Louise Barrett & NZFT My wife and I had an unforgettable “once-in-a-lifetime” adventure in New Zealand, meticulously planned by Louise Barrett from New Zealand Fine Touring (NZFT). From the warm welcome in Christchurch to the stunning drive through Aoraki/Mt Cook, the charm of Dunedin, the magic of Milford Sound, the thrills of Queenstown, and the serenity of Franz Josef, every detail of our 12-day journey was flawlessly arranged. Louise ensured a perfect balance of scenic drives, comfortable stays, and remarkable activities — from the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre to the Otago Peninsula wildlife tour, glowworm caves, Milford Sound cruise, Skyline Gondola, Shotover Jet, Lake Mapourika rainforest walk, and the iconic TranzAlpine train. Even our rental car, transfers, and meal reservations were thoughtfully taken care of. We especially appreciated the NZFT Touring App, which kept all bookings, vouchers, and updates at our fingertips — giving us confidence to simply enjoy the trip. Louise’s attention to detail and prompt responses made the planning process as smooth as the journey itself. We returned home with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will last forever. If you’re considering a New Zealand holiday, I wholeheartedly recommend Louise Barrett and the team at NZFT. Their professionalism, local knowledge, and warm hospitality will turn your trip into an extraordinary experience.

Read moreOur trip to New Zealand was planned by Emily-Rose James with Discover New Zealand. The trip she planned was amazing! Emily-Rose worked so hard to make our trip to beautiful New Zealand a once in a lifetime event. We were greeted by professional drivers to each of our excursions. Every excursion was planned with our interest in mind. She communicated every day during the trip. Discover New Zealand’s app helped to keep us organized. This was the smoothest and most enjoyable trip my wife and I have ever been on. We recommend Emily-Rose James and Discover New Zealand to anyone traveling there. Thank you so much.

Read morewe enjoyed the whole trip and we had two stand-out experiences. The Auckland Harbour Sailing Dinner cruise was exceptional. The weather did play a big part but still quite an experience. Also we absolutely loved our stay in Rotorua and our experience at the War Ariki Hot Springs & spa. They were very accommodating there and it was a great experience and the nighttime activities especially the Maori Cultural experience. Thoroughly informative and entertaining as well As mentioned before the parking situation at Bolton Hotel Wellington wasn't ideal and a minor inconvenience. We loved the wine tours but the Napier tour did go on a bit longer than expected. Leading to an extremely long day. We'll bank that experience in the future. A real pleasure to deal with you Kayla. Nothing was too much bother and I liked you checked in on us after our no-show ( our own time-keeping fault). When we are looking to explore the South Island we will certainly be in touch.
