David Whateley, Davids National Parks of the South Island and 1st Test Adventure, Travelled on 19 Nov 2024

Shelby was brilliant!! Never missed a beat! New Zealand is so beautiful! I will need to come and see the North Island too!

Hon. Delbert Gee and Doris Gee, Waitomo, Rotorua and Hobbiton, Travelled on 22 Oct 2024

Our North Island tour was a fabulous combination of both cultural and natural attractions, followed by a tour of the famous Hobbit movie set. I was particularly impressed with Harriet MacGregor of Thrifty Tour's detailed coordination of all of our transportation needs and the separate tours by various tour companies over a five day period in a very efficient manner. I would say that the highlight of the tour was the Real Rotorua tour. Great job by our tour leader. Really interesting tour of the natural thermal attractions in the area.

Mrs Charlotte Barrett, 3 Day Christchurch loop including Milford Sound, Travelled on 30 Nov 2024

The support and advice before the trip was excellent, and the emergency call regarding the delays due to the car accident enroute was gratefully received. I appreciated the offer from the driver to fly back to Queenstown from the Sound as the weather was fantastic..... if I had only known the weather could be relied on, perhaps this would have been cheaper through you, but, this was not a problem, and nearly completed my trip to NZ on a real high. The drivers were both very knowledgeable and obliging; I was dropped off in Rolleston on my way back, which was great.

Marcia Bittner & Margot Crawford,NZ Tour, Travelled on 13 Nov 2024

What a great trip! Sophie identified activities that would appeal to my granddaughter and me. She identified hotels that would suit our need to have separate beds. The kitchens made it possible to eat breakfast "at home" and dine on leftovers a few times during the trip. When problems developed (closed road and inability to confirm activities) Sophie and your staff handled adjustments seamlessly. Your folks made this a really easy trip for me! We had a great time.

Esther Tomek, 5 day Southern Highlights Circuit including the TranzAlpine Train, Travelled on 11 Nov 2024

Well organised trip by Sabina from day 1 especially days 4-5 ( 14-15 Nov ) where that trip Queenstown to Franz Josef was cancelled due to road slip and road closure she didn't want me stranded so she organized a flight Queenstown to Hokitika, airport transfer to Greymouth and accommodation, the next day I hop on the Tranzalpine train to Christchurch a bucket list ticked off. The trip guide on the app was easy to follow, accommodations were superior, professional drivers/guides will recommend this tour and Sabina as travel consultant.

Praful, Tina & Jessica Chauhan, 11 day New Zealand Southbound Explorer Auckland to Queenstown, Travelled on 28 Oct 2024

Great holiday from Thrifty tours. Angela was great in organizing our trip of a life time. Everything was super smooth and the accommodation was spot on. Thoroughly recommend. Well done Angela.

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.

Carol Wright, Your Northland Adventure!, Travelled on 1 Oct 2024

I was impressed by how seamless everything was. Katie had thought of everything to make my holiday experience go smoothly and well. I felt so well supported. I enjoyed the trips, the accommodation was excellent and the tourcorp drivers were wonderful. The itinerary was spot on.

Sancta Maria College, Sancta Maria College 4 Day Southern Explorer, Travelled on 15 Sep 2024

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
