About Indulgence Tours

Ben Neynens was our tour adviser and provided a fantastic service to us. From the moment we arrived in Christchurch, everything went according to plan and very smoothly. The suggested activities were ideal and suited our interests and levels of fitness, and we were absolutely amazed at the beauty of the South Island of New Zealand. Thank you Ben for your guidance and suggestions. They were very helpful and we had a wonderful holiday.

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.

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.

Indulgence Tours organized the trip of a lifetime for us! Our self drive tour was seemlessly put together, eliminating the stress of trying to organizing everything ourselves. We made great use of the personalized suggestions of attractions along the way allowing us to take full advantage of the time we had. We would recommend Indulgence Tours for anyone looking to explore New Zealand for the first time, but not knowing where to start! We’ll definitely be talking about this holiday for a long time!

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!

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

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.

I thought our tour was well researched and very well organised which provided us with one of our most treasured holidays. Also South Island New Zealand is an awesome island and an excellent holiday destination.

We were happy and satisfied with the tour that arranged by Ben for us for the whole 14 days in South Island. The interesting spots that we went have been very amazing and truly awesome and worth to see and visit. Thank you so much and we will arrange another trip to explore the North Island.
