Her attention to details, and her caring for us and our holiday made this the best holiday either of us could remember. NZ self-drive tours are an exceptional company and Louise is an exceptional agent. Louise's efforts were above and beyond while we scrambled to change flights for return. Louise secured accommodations in Auckland for us so we could return home. Unfortunately, the COVID 19 virus interrupted our plans and caused us to miss the last 2 days of our itinerary.
Each stop was planned to give us adequate time to drive there, get settled in, and attend our event. We sent Louise Barrett a list of our interests and she developed the perfect itinerary for us. Our holiday in New Zealand was a 40th Wedding Anniversary present to ourselves. Larry & Brenda Mueggenborg, North Island - Hobbits, Caves and Coast, Travelled on 11th March 2020 We plan to return to NZ in 6 months to see family again and our plan is to use your company to arrange a South Island self-drive. Also had a small boot which could only fit one suitcase so the second suitcase sat in the car with us.īut overall we loved the trip and have recommended your company to my son now living in Auckland as he is keen to do a similar self-drive trip. Lots of pulling over to let other cars pass. Lovely and fresh and new but only 1.5L engine which found the mountainous sections of our road trip difficult. We were expecting the hire car to be a Toyota Corolla or similar but Europecar in Wellington provided a new MG HS car. Accommodation in Auckland on the last night before departure was a small cramped room and bathroom, okay for one night and on way to the airport but wouldn't recommend if staying for several days. The accommodation was very good especially the Beachside resort in Whitianga. The train trip from Auckland to Wellington was awesome with its scenery and comfortable with good food and drinks. She was always available and helped with the itinerary, checking all was well with flights and booking excursions whilst we were on the road. Our consultant Shelley Ryder was brilliant throughout the whole experience. Our first trip to NZ and arranged the North Island 10 day Highlights with Northern Explorer train trip.Ībsolutely fabulous.
