New Zealand Self Drive Tour Reviews

Chrissy,

Thank you for helping us plan a trip of a lifetime! We have had an incredible two weeks in New Zealand and we appreciate all of the help you gave us in pulling it together. Every experience was amazing, and we had zero disappointments. Here is a photo of us on the Abel Tasman -- one of our favorite things from the trip. Though, lets be honest, everything was a favorite! So glad that we found First Light Travel!

Best,

Adam & Zen

First, a plug for the travel company who put together our road trip, the very informed and helpful Victoria at First Light Travel. I had several conversations with her and from that, she put together an itinerary that was perfect for our group given what we hoped to accomplish, as well as booked all our accommodations and activities for our 3 and 1/2 days on the road. I would HIGHLY recommend them and will definitely use them in the future.

Dear Verity,

I absolutely loved touring New Zealand. There is nothing in this country that isn't beautiful! You put together a tour that I was trying to do myself and you did it cheaper than I could have done. It was great!

Dear Shelly,

We had a wonderful time. The trip was well planned, with a balance of doing and seeing, activity and relaxation. Am not sure how I found First Light Travel on the internet, but am extremely happy to recommend First Light, and particularly you, Shelley, to all who might be going to visit your wonderful country.

Shelly,

I wanted to personally thank you for booking our vacation. You were always helpful and prompt. I loved the PDF and referred to it frequently in the months leading up to the trip and everything was perfect to help us during the trip as well. I don't know that we'll ever make it back to New Zealand, but if we do I'll be in touch. Regardless, I have and will continue to rave about First Light Travel. Hobbiton was our favorite part. Also we loved Rotorua.

Thanks

We had an awesome time in New Zealand and it is a pity to be back home again. Feeling homesick about a country that is not our 'home'.... Be sure we will be back. Thank you Judith for your care and concern.

We had a fabulous trip to Australia and New Zealand. Your arrangements allowed us to see/visit the places and do the things we wanted to do. We really liked your ‘voucher system’ and all the merchants happily accepted these vouchers. It saved us from cashing a lot of money or always using our credit cards

We would highly recommend you and First Light Travel to any of our friends or others that plan to travel to New Zealand. You are very responsive and very meticulous in your planning and recommendations. If you need a recommendation for a perspective client, please feel free to have them contact us, because we will give you the glowing recommendation you deserve ----- you earned it!

Chrissy, thank you for a fantastic adventure!!!!

Our one month stay in New Zealand was absolutely fantastic and exposed us to an incredibly wide range of scenery and experiences. We could never have done it without Shelley's guidance and support. Interestingly enough, we were often asked on our travels whom we had booked with. On hearing First Light Travel, the response was always, "Ah, they're the best!" And we think so, too!

We had a great visit, and we would have been confused and stressed without Chrissy's help! First rate service and itinerary. The whole process was very smooth, and itinerary changes were handled with no fuss. We enjoyed a special trip, and would recommend First Light Travel to others –
