This was a fabulous and memorable tour of beautiful New Zealand! The whole itinerary was well thought out and planned to include most of the natural wonders of New Zealand as well as Cityscapes and other cultural experiences. There are some long travel days but all very much worth it to ensure that we saw as much as possible. There were also two full free days as well as other free half days , so it felt like the tour was well- paced and balanced overall. All of the rail journeys and also the Interislander ferry crossing were spectacular and meant that we saw so much of this beautiful and varied country. Other highlights were the cruise on Milford Sound ( made even better by the perfect weather conditions ) and the TSS Earnslaw cruise. Highly recommended !

The comprehensive itinerary includes time on both North and South Island if this stunning country. If you like mountains, lakes and superb views this is a must. This is not a relaxing programme but you return exhilerated, and thankful that places like this still exist - go!
