What our clients had to say about their trip... |
| "The trip was totally brilliant! I was apprehensive as I had never booked a holiday on the internet - Tony gave a fantastic pre tour service - always replying to emails, checking details etc. The trip was all that it said in the brochure and more! I loved the variety of the day trips which were tailored to our needs - the walks were varied in length and in the type of countryside that we saw, from cliffs to mountains to beaches to rainforest - it just got better!" |
| Hazel Jones, Best of the South Island, February 2004 |
| "The trip certainly did meet my expectations! It was fantastic, very well organized, the variety of walks and scenery, it was what I had expected and more!" |
