Fantastic trip, our guide Guy was very good. He was very knowledgeable on everything, and booked everyone onto all the activities they wanted, and I felt very safe with him as our driver and guide.

The only reason I took off a star was because of the awful state of some of the accomodation. Particularly Nomads, after our stay in Nomads in Wellington, where the Accomodation was filthy, and the beds unsafe (not unrealistic standards I think), we were so upset to find out we were staying with them again for four nights in Christchurch, when the itinerary still had LYLO hostel on it (which is of a much higher standard). The breakfast in Wellington was awful and made a lot of us sick, the breakfast in Christchurch was lovely. It was very good having breakfast provided in the mornings. The bathrooms in the Blue Dolphin Accomodation were all broken. And the facilities in the rock climbing accommodation were all dirty.

The activities were great fun, the experience in the Māori village was a great way to get everyone comfortable with each other on the first night.

It would have been nice to have gone down a bit more south, considering there’s a lot of driving, a few more hours wouldn’t make a difference.

Overall, I had a great trip, saw so much of the beautiful country and had so much fun with the other travellers.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip!! Our guide Guy was brilliant & super knowledgeable. We were incredibly lucky with the weather so managed to do pretty much everything on the itinerary. New Zealand is incredible and I would 1000% recommend this trip as we got to see so & do so much!

It was a very fun trip! It was definitely a lifetime experience in NZ. Our guide Guy was very nice and fun. He always told very interesting facts about NZ and gave very good recommendations for food, action, etc.

Our tour guide, Guy, was absolutely amazing. Very fortunate to have had him during our stay in New Zealand! Loved the trip, so much to do and see, would 100% recommend to anyone who is thinking of going

Amazing trip overall! So much activity and things to do, the guide was well knowlaged and took us to ask the good spots. The accommodation was OK, some places better than others though, but not too bad for hostels.

I would highly suggest having Queenstown at the start or earlier in the tour. Having it so late meant that by that time my budget was spent and I wasn't able to do as much as I would have liked, I would have preferred using my budget in Queenstown and being a penny pincher in the smaller stays beforehand. My tour apparently was one of the last under that itinerary, so the information we were giving in our paperwork didn't match some of the activities or accommodations, not a complaint, just a statement. Overall it was a good tour, I would recommend it, but I won't be repeating it.

Guy our tour guide was the best one I’ve ever had he was great, super knowledgeable and really good social fun joking with the group. Such a shame he is leaving big big miss

I’ve done several Topdeck tours and this one would have to be my favourite. You get to see and do so much yet it is not the slightest bit rushed and you get plenty of down time if you want it. Plus we had the best tour guide EVER. Guy is so knowledgeable and I loved his commentary. Very approachable, full of tips and tricks and great fun! He made everything that extra bit special.

Great tour to experience the best New Zealand has to offer, I’ll definitely be going back again at some point. Lucky enough to get a great tour guide in Guy, he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He gave great recommendations about things to do, places to eat, where to go out for a night out and most importantly kept us all safe. The views/landscapes were amazing, better in person than in pictures moment. It was great to meet new people and see a new country.

Only one of my extras was cancelled due to weather, which unfortunately couldn’t be helped and was understandable.

It would be great if you had the option to upgrade to a private room, especially seeing as most of the places you stay do have them.

Also rathe than ending in Christchurch it’d be nice to have more time there in the first visit stop, then end the trip in Queenstown.

Great value for money! Our driver even squeezed in a few extras when he could!

Awesome trip, amplified by awesome trip leader. Activities were so much fun and the places you go are just breathtaking. 10/10 would recommend.

Loved all the stops, however I hoped we would have more time in Franz Josef. Maybe worthwhile looking at going in more of a circular trip, rather than zig zagging down both islands.

Our guide cowboy was super helpful. Always had great suggestions of the best places to go, so we could maximise our time at each stop.

The tour was well done and I had a great tour. I did notice it wasn’t as longer as the trip I planned to do before Covid. I noticed compared to my previous trips there wasn’t as much included in the itinerary but I loved that our tour guide took us to some awesome places when activities were cancelled due to wet weather. I had a great time it’s just next time I would like less free days.

Our guide/driver Guy was extremely welcoming, funny, knowledgeable and kindhearted. Alongside him were some amazing people I got to meet and experience the beauty of New Zealand with. The freedom and ability to do certain activities or have free time while having accomodation and transport sorted made the trip so much more enjoyable.
