Read moreOur three-week trip to mesmerizing South Island was impeccably organized by Nicole from Discover New Zealand. Everything was easy from start to end. We put together the itinerary based on our wish list and completed it with Nicole’s suggestions to create a perfect one. Once arrived in New Zealand, everything went perfectly well, without any issues or delays. We were very impressed with the quality of service we got from Nicole and the amazing team at Discover New Zealand. Highly recommended! Thank you from all our hearts for an amazing and unforgettable experience!

Read moreWe worked with Carly to plan the perfect driving tour of the South Island. And from start to finish, it was perfect. She really listened to what was important to us and planned and suggested experiences that made our time in NZ unforgettable. Every thing was confirmed and we had zero issues during our 10 day stay. I highly recommend using Carly and the discover New Zealand team to plan your once in a lifetime trip to this beautiful country.

Read moreChelsea and the rest of the New Zealand Fine Touring staff kept us up to date on all changes to our tour before they happened. Therefore no surprises. They were also very easy to contact when things changed, due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, such as road closures, weather related cancellations and not meeting optimal passenger quotas for some of our tours. Chelsea tried to find alternative solutions, which were greatly appreciated. Some things that may be helpful for future planning of this package: 1. Inform customers that Sudima Auckland is a Vegan Restaurant during the evening meal times. We were caught off guard by this. We did find a restaurant close by that we really enjoyed. 2. For the customers arriving at Sudima Auckland before check-in time, early breakfast on that day is an extra charge. Most restaurants do not open before 10 am. We were find with this, although we did not have the breakfast on the day we left, due to an early pick up time. We still were charged for that breakfast. Could the hotel change this, so that the customer arriving before check-in can have breakfast and have it billed to their room before the check-in time and then not get billed for the breakfast on the day they check-out, if the check-out is before the timing of breakfast. The selection of hotels was great. The rooms were always clean and suited our needs. They are in fantastic locations. They made it easy to just walk around and get to restaurants, sites, transit, and provided unbelievable views of the cities and countryside. Every thing else went extremely well. Please give all the tour guides and personnel from the tour companies, an extremely well done, from us. They all made our trip very memorable.

Read moreWe completed a personalised 21 day South Island Self Drive Tour in February/March 2024. The itinerary was created by Jon (Discover New Zealand) in consultation with us and our wish list. The creation of an itinerary was giving us a headache but this was no problem for Jon who has an intimate knowledge of New Zealand. Jon arranged good quality self catering accommodation, car hire, activities and tours including the train trip from Greymouth to Christchurch. There was prompt communication between ourselves and Jon at all times before and during our trip. Nothing was too much trouble for him to check or organise. With the use of the downloaded itinerary app everything during the trip worked very smoothly and we had a very enjoyable hassle-free holiday, capturing all the major sights and attractions of the South Island. The tour started and finished in Queenstown. I would definitely use this company again for future travels in New Zealand.

Read moreMy husband and I were a bit skeptical of dealing with a travel agency that had reached out after an Internet inquiry. However, I can’t say enough about how pleased we were with New Zealand fine Touring and the communication that we received from Petra. Their New Zealand app is so easy to use and so full of information. I will definitely recommend New Zealand fine Touring to any contacts I have that are considering a New Zealand vacation as well as when we return to New Zealand!!

The team at discover NZ also supported us well when I had questions. Pretty much every point on our itinerary exceeded expectations leaving us with many lasting memories from our trip!

Read moreElla planned an excellent trip for us based on the fact that she listened to our desires at the start. She did not try to push extras we didn’t want. The choice of hotels were varied and a perfect choice for the locations. We loved the fact that we had stress free valet parking in Queenstown. The only improvement we can think of is that it’s possible to purchase flights back to Queenstown. We loved our trip and the app. Thanks Ella you did a brilliant job.

Read moreWe had a lovely time on this tour and huge thanks to Marissa for crafting a bespoke itinerary for myself and my friends. For myself, the big-ticket item was the tranzalpine scenic plus train on Day 2 (from Christchurch to Greymouth)! All of us were pleasantly surprised by the VIP services and the delicious meals served at the carriage - dining in style while taking in the spectacular views! Day 5, the TSS Earnslaw cruise and dinner and show at the Walter Peak Farm were also very enjoyable! Thank you, Marissa, for your expertise and professional coordination! And thanks so much for going out of your way to check for us on our side trip to Rotorua and the Waitomo Caves. We had a great time there too! We would highly recommend our friends to reach out to you and your company for travel advice in NZ! Best wishes, Vicky (19 Feb 2025)

Read moreWe wish to commend Shelby Hewlett for curating a wonderful itinerary for us. She was able to 'profile' us almost to perfection to offer the best type of activity and correct group size. When we had a travel disruption, she worked with us to plan alternatives. We wished we had more time to explore New Zealand, and if we do plan another trip, we will definitely choose to have the team curate our itinerary.
