Sally Kati, TranzAlpine, West Coast Glaciers, and Queenstown Short Break, Travelled on 25 Oct 2024

Absolutely brilliant. My agent was so very supportive. I might like to fly to Queenstown one day next year thank and have a great day.

Susan Taylor & Heather Currie, Bay of Islands 3 Day Leisurely, Travelled on 21 Oct 2024

We were very pleased with all aspects of our trip. Having everything booked for us and the vouchers in the App, it was very convenient. It is an excellent way to have things pre-booked and someone else doing the organising. Kayla went above and beyond helping, booking, explaining and following up everything with us. Our accommodation was conveniently located and within walking distance of downtown. And the attractions we had booked were very good and also allowed us to also have free time to explore the town. Thanks Kayla, we loved the trip and also loved New Zealand.

I was very fortunate to have Tia Chesser as my agent for this booking. What an amazing asset you have in your company, organized, helpful and a wealth of knowledge and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too difficult, and the trip was 100% successful. Thank you for an outstanding job and I had nothing but positive feedback from adults and students on the trip. - Kind Regards Alli Clifford

Joseph Boudreau and Michael Feiner, Waitomo, Rotorua and Hobbiton Tour, Travelled on 20 Sep 2024

The tour was very well planned by Ella Stalker. Fast paced but saw everything in a weekend. Rotorua was a terrific experience, the geysers, the cultural program, the hangi. The people were so friendly, made us feel very welcome. Lot of laughs, lots of fun. Everyone we met, drivers, guides, staff….really made it memorable.

Ng Mui Ee & Geok Ngoh Lim, South Island Circuit with Queenstown, Milford Sound & Glacier Highlights, Travelled on 12 Sep 2024

Brittany has been very helpful. Whenever we have doubts, we text her & she will respond quickly. Thumbs up! The hotel & motel that we stayed in during our trip were clean & nice! The Milford Sound tour with RealNZ was fantastic! We would also like to compliment Peanut, the driver cum guide from RealNZ. He was so knowledgeable, accommodating & helpful.

Joan Majors & Glen Beck, 6 Day Central North Island Explorer Tour, Travelled on 22 Aug 2024

We loved everything about our trip. It was well planned out, the accommodation were always very nice and easy to locate, we essentially appreciated the side roads suggested for beautiful scenery on some of the days. It was easy to navigate the maps. It was perfect!!

Marjorie, Thomas, Caitlin & Liam Dunne, Auckland to Rotorua Journey via Waitomo and Hobbiton, Travelled on 8 Aug 2024

I have received an excellent service from the moment of booking the tour for my family, through to receiving prompt responses to queries up until the tour. I made amendments and took recommendations on extra activities from well-informed and helpful staff. As a result my family had the best time!!! All credit to Janette and her colleagues for making a fabulous holiday so memorable and enjoyable - we will be talking about this tour for a very a long time! Many thanks to all!

Josephine Lin, Desmond Chia, Yualing Huang, Jia Xin Yeong, Southern Highlights Tour, Travelled on 5 Jun 2024

The trip was well-planned by Jon. Thank you Jon! We were spotted almost immediately when we came out of Christchurch airport and driven speedily to our accommodation. The accommodations throughout the trip were well selected, being accessible to amenities like restaurants and supermarkets, as well as spacious. Our favourite accommodation was Te Waonui Forest Retreat. Even though it was a free upgrade as our booked accommodation closed for the winter, the retreat was lovely! Do note that you have to find the bus stops to take the Grayline buses on your own but shouldn't be an issue if you give yourself enough time and rely on Google Maps.

Ken Raggett & Siok Lim | Southern Highlights Tour, Travelled on 26 May 2024

Hi Brittany, A BIG THANK - YOU, for organizing our fantastic holiday, no stress, just sit back and enjoy the stunning beauty our country has to offer. Transfers arranged and waiting, bus pick-up on time and drivers complement the journey with history and informative local information, which we would never have gained from driving our own car. Accommodation warm and comfortable, walking distance from local shopping and attractions. We will definitely be recommending Thrifty Tours to friends and family as the way to travel. Kind Regards, Ken Raggett
