All of the transportation was where it would be when it said it would be there and all the drivers were really nice. If we did the trip again we would probably skip Greymouth and maybe spend an extra day at Franz Glacier because we didn't get to see anything there. It was just an overnight stop and that hotel was the nicest one, or skip the western part alltogether and maybe go further south than Queenstown or spend more time in Christchurch or do the glow worm caves. Given our time constraints though we saw a lot and everything went very smoothly. Thank you for your help!

Robert from NZ Tourism Tours was so helpful and responded to my questions in a prompt manner. We booked the Kirra 9 day South Island tour and we had an awesome time. It was my 79 year old mother’s first overseas trip. Our driver/tour guide Ian was very knowledgable and personable -he really looked after us. The accommodation was great, the food was good, and the places we visited were breathtaking. I highly recommend NZ Tourism Tours.
