Got engaged at Hobbiton which was a dream!

First Light Travel was absolutely amazing to work with! Specifically, we worked with Marcella, who created a perfect vacation for us through New Zealand. We wanted to see all the lord of the rings sites that we could and she put together an amazing itinerary that allowed us to see so much! Even got engaged at Hobbiton which was a dream! Marcella was so attentive to our needs and would help find alternatives to activities when we did not want the original ones she suggested. Such a delight to work with and will absolutely be using her again whenever we travel back to New Zealand!
