We enjoyed all of the activities on our itinerary. It was a wonderful trip! We were appreciative of the support when we had a problem with our rental car. Thank you so much for the work of the team to help us have an amazing trip! One tip may be to let others know that there is no parking by the wharf for the BBQ cruise. There is public parking about one block away on Man Street.
We enjoyed every single moment of the trip, from the activities booked to the accomodation. The motel in Franz Josef was a stand out also, very nice surrounds and clean, tidy and modern suite. The glacier visit was also a nice addition and allowed us to see something that we would otherwise not have had a chance to visit on our own. Thanks for the trip, we have some great memories that will with us forever.
Thank you Christina for putting together the perfect itinerary for my recent trip to New Zealand. Special mentions for FlexiTours, Cheeky Kiwi, Cheeky Kea, Elite Adventures, Altitude Tours, RealNZ and Glacier Valley Eco Tours. All the drivers and guides were amazing and passionate about their country. I travelled from Auckland to Rotorua to Christchurch, Queenstown and Franz Josef and had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Thrifty Tours, you ticked all my boxes and travelling alone I had the adventure of a lifetime. Thanks for everything!
I must extend a huge thank you to Owen for organising my first visit to new Zealand. From seamless pickups at airports & hotels to the hotels I stayed in and, most outstanding, were the absolutely amazing tours Owen arranged for me. Furthermore, I so lucky to have enjoyed wonderful weather throughout. Owen was proactive from the first time we made contact. I’ve been singing his praises since returning to the wet & cold UK.
Shelby listened to my desires and scheduled just the right trip for me. Given the short notice from Saturday to the start of the trip on Monday morning I didn't receive confirmation prior to embarking on the InterCity bus, but it all worked out. The motel she chose in Paihia, the Admiral, was just perfect and I had a great balcony out to the Bay of Islands.
Really helpful and was responsive to any questions asked. Louise gave advice about was possible. Overall I was very satisfied and would recommend to others. I would particularly like to thank Louise Barrett for her support.
I had an amazing tour in New Zealand, thanks to Thrifty Tours, who made a perfect itinerary for me, planned everything, kept me informed and answered questions during my trip. I will highly recommend their services, and it is perfect when you are travelling by yourself. Thank you!
Everything Shelby set up for us was perfect. We probably tried to do too much 😊 but access to the office while we were there was super helpful.
I must say, Lisa quickly & professionally picked up on my “ style” of travel, within my budget, even though the internary was put together from different continents. She put together an internally for me that was jammed packed with the highlights of the areas within the geographical areas that could be managed in my time frame. I cannot speak highly enough about Lisa’s friendly & knowledgable services for me. She made it easy for me to get around & gave good solid accommodations for the trip. Thank you.
Great trip! Included all the areas we wanted to visit. Everything was well arranged and went smoothly throughout our trip. The app was also a huge plus, we always knew what was happening and when we needed to be ready. Thanks for an enjoyable trip 😁
