Exceptional New Zealand Experiences

This trip was superb. After my initial vague enquiry (ie “a week around the South Island”), Ben helped me decide where to start and end the trip, and what kinds of things to see. I checked, and Ben’s prices for activities and accommodation were not inflated….so he did not add a margin, and makes his money from the “wholesalers discount” which seemed very fair for the value he added. When our tour pickup did not show up at the allocated time, we called Ben and within 10 minutes he had it sorted….they were on the way, but slightly delayed! All of our party were impressed and will use Indulgence Tours again.

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 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.

We really enjoyed this self driving tour. Without Indulgence Tour’s guide we would not of know of the nice places to stay. It was very well planned out and we saw a lot of beautiful places. Thank you Ben!

When we had a last minute change requiring a different sized rental car we really appreciated your hustle in arranging a new car after the rental car firm had told us a change was not possible. Your high service level and attention to detail is rare these days. Thanks again!

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

We were very happy having our holiday planned out for us, with some input from us. We really had little idea of where to visit in the time we had, so the suggestions and the bookings done were great! The itinerary listing out suggested stops on the way was very helpful and enhanced our visit. Thanks for all the organisation!

Only wish I could extend my stay to enjoy the warmth of NZ.
