You do everything so well, and we enjoyed the entire four days.” - Carol “We are elderly and had ground floor accommodation. Slightly raised seats at back of coach offered good viewing angles. The drivers were top notch – a very happy group. The driver’s commentary was great, he told us about things to see and do in plenty of time to see them. I would certainly go again with this company. I liked that you didn’t HAVE to do everything, only the activities that you were happy with, no pressure” - Dorothy “Ken was a driver of the highest calibre, he gave us a good commentary and was extremely kind and helpful to everyone. He mixed well with our group. A great variety of gardens was selected for our visits. Gardens were amazing, both public and private. We intend to book another tour! “- Marilyn The shuttle was right on time, good hotel and meals, the gannets were the highlight of the trip, coach was very comfortable, driver was very good. Overall, very good in all ways, value for money and we would definitely recommend to family and friends. - Fred & Patricia “Your attention to detail prior to the trip was great. I liked going over the back country roads. We saw New Zealand at its best with lovely spring growth” - Lois “We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the South Island. Matt the driver was spot on, knowledgeable, kind, helpful, resourceful with a great sense of humour. We have some lovely memories shared with all the happy group on the coach tour, well done!” - Ron & Carol
