Just thought i would write to commend Nick (guide), Lindsey (Coach driver north island) and Kenny (Coach driver south island) on their professionalism, knowledge and commitment to your company. I have been on many coaching holidays but this is by far the best despite being involved in some extremely adverse weather conditions. They kept us safe ahead of Cyclone Gabriel giving us an on the spot plan B alternative that was laso interesting viewing. The very useful gratis package given at the beginning of the tour consisting of a wash bag, guide folder (with relevant maps) and an holdall were not only robust (and can be used on other holidays) but also very useful! And that is just the start of the holiday. the hotels chosen were of high quality, the coach was always kept clean and tidy and the seat allocation rota was a fabulous idea to ensure all get to sit at the front seats.
there were pleanty of comfort breaks at little quirky towns that were interesting to walk around even if you didnt need to use the facilities.
It was understood that the distance between locations was quite some miles which necesitated early rising we realised it was well worth this for the scenery and culture we were shown. The food was on the whole really good and the one thing that i really did appreciate was not being herded into the obligatory commisioned 'jewelry store, carpet warehouse, a leather factory etc'.
Outstanding holiday - would highly recommend it to anyone!
