"Everything from booking through to the trip itself went smoothly and we had a five-star experience overall. The Concierge service was excellent in Australia and, when there was a problem with the Yarra Valley tour, Rachel handled it quickly and efficiently. There were so many memorable moments, but the flight in the Bay of Islands and kayaking on Lake Taupo were both particular highlights of the trip."

"First of all the trip was amazing - it was a great way to see both islands, and an amazing experience. The South Island, Mt. Cook region and Milford Sound were particularly memorable moments. It was a very beautiful trip - for sure we will come back and travel with you again. "
