    13 Day South Island Rail & Coach

    The tour was very well organised and our tour guide Nikki and coach driver Wayne were great. The mix of travel modes got us to see lots of the South Island.
    Thoroughly recommend the Sir Edmund Hilary tour.

    9 Day Rail, Glaciers & Mountains Family

    Really beautiful. Everything went smoothly. The accommodation was great and the car, a Ford Everest, was fantastic. It was a great holiday and very well organised.

    7 Day New Zealand Rail Experience

    Staff at New Zealand Holidays were so helpful, professional, and provided exceptional customer service. They really know their product. Sally was simply the best consultant.

    There is no longer a free Penguin Express bus service to the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch. It ceased operation several months ago. You should advise travellers to take any public bus going to the airport, which costs $4 per person one way.

    All the KiwiRail trips departed late and arrived late at their destinations, so don’t plan on connecting to another service, bus, or flight immediately afterwards.

    11 Day Central South Island

    We wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to Sally for all her efforts in organising our recent self-drive tour of the South Island in New Zealand. Everything went off without a hitch, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience exploring the region at our own pace.
    Her recommendations for accommodation and activities were spot on, and we appreciated Sally's attention to detail throughout the planning process. The itinerary allowed us to see so much of the beautiful countryside and really made our holiday special.
    Thank you for making it all so easy for us and for answering every question along the way.
    We have already recommended you to several of our friends. Thanks again, Sally!

    12 Day Great Rail Adventure

    A well organised personalised trip specifically tailored to our needs. It is a complete package with all transport from airports and accommodation included. We did not have to arrange anything. Highly recommended.

    14 Day South Island at Leisure

    The trip was fantastic. Sally ensured our entire South Island experience went like clockwork. We loved every moment. Best to have quality time in a few places rather than try to race about too much.

    16 Day Custom North Island

    Be wary staying in places where parking is not included. It cost us at the hotel in Wellington $31.00 a night to park & our request for 2 single beds in one of the rooms was not done & consequently the two girls got sick & were sick the whole holiday.

    8 Day Alpine to Harbour Rail Journey

    Great choice of accommodation and location, well constructed self tour and great information and support if needed. Add an extra day if you're on an early start the first day following a late flight arrival.

    12 Day Custom South Island

    This was one of the best holidays we have been on. We weren’t sure what to expect however Sally put together an amazing itinerary for us. Each tour she chose was amazingly run and professional. We honestly could not of asked for anything more. Beautiful country we will be back.
