Really enjoyed my sight seeing vacation New Zealand is AWESOME! clean, pristine lots of H2O and lushly beautiful landscape. I'm glad to be with Si group, with his vast knowledge and experience about NZ. He is a mans man and will say things as is, at times funny, he is attentive, well do the extra mile to make sure everyone is OK and safe, and having a great time. Aside from my sunburnt face? I really enjoyed my sight seeing vacation.
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.
Overall the trip was fabulous.Perfect time of the year for the weather.All the accommodations and itinerary package were "right on".The travel designer, Geoff in Christchurch was extremely helpful with much communications and making changes prior to finalizing the trip.,
