Testimonials for New Zealand tours & holidays

Thank you so much for the easiest, stress free, fun holiday we have ever had. I literally sent the dates and the ages of the kids and everything was planned. All I had to do was follow the app. So many activities that we wouldn't have known about ourselves. Thank you so very much for an absolutely wonderful holiday.

Our travel specialist Chelsea was very helpful, she responded very quickly and promptly made changes we required, making our trip care free. Some very long drives between hotels, but the spectacular scenery made it worthwhile. On the whole a well organised tour.

All arrangements went as smoothly as clockwork. Accommodations were exceptionally clean, convenient and well located. Car hire, and airport/rail transfers, were seamless from start to finish. And Tranz Alpine restaurant car was enjoyable. Overall, a memorable experience was had by all.

Beautifully organised, highly recommended. Looking forward to doing the North Island next!

Our Mt Cook experience was excellent, will return to take heli flight at some time. Overall every location and tour was excellent.

Louise was professional, had the knowledge I needed and was able to offer alternatives when things went pear shaped, eager to help and nothing was a problem for her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone who would be travelling in NZ.

Sophie and the team were incredible with organising a great little get away for my son and I. We were able to call for assistance whenever there were any worries and the updates on the app were incredibly helpful. Everything went pretty smoothly except for the day of the white-water rafting which was cancelled because of low water levels. The replacement rafting and jet boat was fantastic and so rewarding so I'm glad it all worked out! Altogether it was the best fun and most valuable experience. We are grateful for the help putting this itinerary together. The car was amazing. The only thing we would do differently is allow more time in between activities.

Trip of a lifetime! Amazing experience, and it was all due to the planning and care by New Zealand Self Driving Tours. My wife and I knew we wanted to visit New Zealand, and we like driving ourselves, and I found these folks online. I had looked at what there was to do and see in NZ, but it was a little daunting. So I just called and spoke to a wonderful representative named Marissa, who became our contact for the entire trip. She asked me what we were looking to do and what we were not interested in doing. We talked about duration and cost. Then, two days later, we get an entire itinerary with hotels, cars, flights, tours, and points of interest to review. It was so interesting that we also added a week in Australia, which they handled in-house. And each new version of the vacation came with all the costs, so that we could see and evaluate our decisions. We went back and forth for several iterations as we looked online at their suggestions. When we finally settled on the final itinerary, it was easy to lock in, and they made all the reservations! Our trip was 23 days long and included 12 hotels, 2 rental cars, 4 flights, 5 transfers, 18 tours, 2 theater performances (Sydney Opera House), swimming in oceans and lakes, hot springs and spas, hikes in redwood forests and rainforests, waterfalls, stargazing, whale watching, glass bottom boats, snorkeling, wildlife conservation centers, art galleries, and indigenous cultural events! The people were nice, driving was easy, and the food was excellent. And while there was a great deal of activity planned, we still had time to walk around and explore, shop, and eat. It was a trip of a lifetime, and it was all due to Marissa and NZ Self Driving Tours. She and her team were available for questions or to tweak any plans on the fly, and all the plans were fully laid out on their App, which was easy to navigate and guided us the entire trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful trip to NZ. Thanks to Louise for her attention to detail and for responding to our questions and concerns in a timely matter.

Our trip was absolutely fantastic. A huge thank you to Harriet for organising it all to perfection. We had the best time and will definitely be back again, just incredible. Thank you so much. Roj & Chris
