About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- RandR1010 contributionsA personalized tour to die forIf you’re looking for a company to formulate a personal tour for you, this is it. We were looking for a tour that included a number of stops at different wineries around the country. Louise H worked with me and came up with an outstanding plan. Besides the four wine tours in all the hot spots of New Zealand. She also included visiting both islands with all the major attractions that we wanted. Great service, great ideas, and at a reasonable price. Kudos to Louise H!Written 22 January 2025
- Global684786444680 contributionsRuined my trip and wasted my money.I am highly disappointed in this company. They knew I needed to finalize my plans quickly but assigned me to a travel agent who was going on holiday. She went on holiday and did not book my trip for a week. This meant things I wanted to do filled up. If I had booked this trip myself I would have saved money and gotten to do things I wanted to do that I now longer can. I am agitated that the travel agent was irresponsible and ruined part of my trip. Don’t use this company especially Tia.Written 30 October 2024
- willendintears0 contributionsVery well organised tour, all of the fine details covered.Discover New Zealand (also known as New Zealand Fine Touring) helped us put an itinerary together to see both the North and South islands of New Zealand as a family and were absolutely brilliant. Our agent Christina sorted out our accomodation (not always easy for 5 people with pet allergies), car hire for both islands, ferry, transfers and a couple of activities for us, and genuinely took the stress out of organising the whole thing ourselves. The accomodation she chose was also really good and suited to our needs (laundry facilities, kitchenettes etc). They also have an app which was very useful as we could see where we were going and what we were doing each day, our accommodation, things to see and do in each area and times for check-in and checkout.Written 1 May 2024
- Winterpeg8800 contributionsWonderful self driving tour.We used Discover New Zealand to plan our 3 week self driving tour. Everything was booked for us, car rentals, ferry rides, airport transportation, hotels, excursions it was all done for us. We still had final say if we wanted to change anything. We had great communication with our tour organizer (Owen) even had a number of phone conversations with him which was really appreciated. He listened to what we wanted to do and made changes to our itinerary to fit our needs and wants. We were able to communicate with him while on the road to ask any questions or add in any excursion we wanted to do last minute. They also provided a great app that had all information included. We would definitely use them again.Written 21 February 2024
- Mike K0 contributionsTravelers BewareBe aware if you book a trip through them and flights are cancelled and you cannot get there....like for example when Auckland got record rain and the airport was closed. they will cancel your reservations for hotels and such but THEY KEEP THE MONEY. they do not refund it to youWritten 2 February 2023
- Curioencore0 contributions?I chose Discover New Zealand tour company as they seemed to have great organised trips on their website and when I spoke to Louise Barrett she was very helpful! Everything seemed great before we arrived, then things went wrong big time, mistakes with simple requests like no stair because of disabilities, front seats in coaches for same reason! Individually these were small but they mounted up and up and quite frankly I question their ability to organise the proverbial piss up in a brewery!!! Think very hard before you use them a lot of money for not a lot!Written 29 December 2019

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This gets all of the highlights of the north island packed into a very small timeframe. I would suggest a relaxing day before or after booking this trip. The caves were the highlight of the trip. Seeing all those glow worms was like seeing all the stars on a pitch black night. Food was great and everything was very well organized.

We only had a few days in New Zealand so we had to make hard choices about how to spend our time. I was slightly nervous about the cost of this tour, but I am here to tell ya it was worth every penny. The company boasts of being flexible and rightly so. Logistics, shuttles, and transfers were perfect. The drivers and staff were pleasant and knowledgable. You just get a good feeling when your hosts love their county and enjoy sharing with visitors. Every activity and site was fun and educational at the same time. I have to say my big surprise was that we enjoyed Hobbiton so much. I have some movie catching up to do.

Hi, what dates are available for May 2021 for this tour as it is not offered or available for me to view without paying and when will I receive a full refund for my declined booking?
Written 11 April 2021
Is it possible to be dropped in Rotorua on Day 2? Is it the same tour as I thought I saw this option before. Thanks!
Written 10 November 2019
Hi, is the maximum guest only 2 in your choice? I have 5 people that I consider adding to this tour, but I can't add more than 2. Please confirm. Thanks.
