Exceptional New Zealand Experiences

Ben, from Indulgence Tours arranged all our accommodation, car hire and full itinerary. We struck the jackpot and couldn’t fault all the work he had put into our tour of South Island New Zealand which has to be the world’s best kept secret. We were blown away by the majesty of the snow capped mountains, the startling blue of the lakes, rolling green hills covered in spring flowers and only 2 days of drizzle. Food, wine and service were commendable throughout the Island with locals making us most welcome. New Zealand does tourism at a very high level.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and are already talking about visiting again. New Zealand definitely has some of the best scenery I have ever witnessed Ben did an excellent job customising the tour based on our interest and the suitability for our two young children. He even advised on the places to eat in Queenstown on Christmas day and made the reservation. We will definitely use Indulgence tours again for our next New Zealand road trip.

A great week in New Zealand with highly efficient, top level service from Ben. Ben arranged everything and it worked like a dream. Brilliant.

We got to see a lot of both Islands over two weeks. May have done better to slow down. Could easily spend two weeks on each island apiece. My brother has back and heart issues, so hiking was out. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 – 4 hour hikes including some arduous climbs–climbing Rangitoto or the main ascent at Rob Roy Glacier Track I would say is similar to setting the treadmill at 3.5 with an incline of 10 for 30 min. You don’t have to go that fast and I talked with a couple in their mid70s who made it up Rob Roy. The views are worth the work, as I watched a piece of ice fall off the glacier while eating my lunch–wow! And when was the last time you caught five trout 3.5 lbs or larger in two days? That is doable in NZ. Recommendation to tourists–there is a lot to do, we picked one key thing each day, sometimes different due to my brother’s and my different interests or physical abilities. Each day was special.

Without the help and guidance of Indulgence Tours in NZ and Sydney we would have never stayed in such nice places or seen as much as we did. Ben was so helpful whenever we had a glitch such as loosing an ipad or a change in our scheduled activities. The driving routes were planned as a beautiful drive through some of the most incredible scenery that New Zealand has to offer. Many thanks Ben. We loved our trip.

We had a wonderful tour and we love NZ. The sites and sceneries were simply awesome! Some very good memories in beautiful lodges too. Food was excellent! The weather was for us not warm enough but we managed to buy warm clothes. Kiwis are extremely nice and charming and we will always remember their warm welcome. Thank you for organising our 25 days trip and maybe we will come back one day to enjoy again the best places we loved so much.

Ben gave very good advice on accommodation and choices for activities. He responded incredibly quickly and patiently to all our queries and was able to make changes to the plans as we kept changing our itinery. It was reassuring that all vouchers for the apartments and tours were sent in a very comprehensive email once payment was made. When he found our vehicle was too high to fit into underground carparks , he quickly found alternative parking options for us. Thank you Ben, our family of 6 had a fantastic holiday in your beautiful country!!

A fantastic tour, incredibly well planned. No hitches and a super amount of information to pick and choose from. Highly recommended.

Our tour was fantastic, the tips for little stops while driving were great. We really enjoyed ourselves. All the stuff arranged worked just fine, great timings on Hobbiton & all the ferry crossings. The only thing we’d change would probably be the car hire company, it was bit of a hike from airport, long wait for the bus. But other than that perfect, we loved it ! Thank you Ben
