About Thrifty Tours New Zealand

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the South Island. All reservation logistics were perfectly coordinated so I could travel worry-free and support was always on standby if needed. Thank you to you and Thrifty Tours for making this a memorable experience. I would personally like to thank you for taking the time to answer to talk to me on the phone to address detail queries on my itinerary.

One of my best ever NZ holidays! It was great being based in Paihia and there was something interesting - and different - to do every day. Highlights would be boogie boarding down the sand dunes near 90 mile beach, the dolphin cruise, and snorkelling.

Hi Rommy! Kia Ora Firstly a big thank you for organising such a lovely tour! While booking I was apprehensive about the stay, the travel etc but all that was banished with every place I visited! Although I enjoyed every bit of my journey, my favourites were Milford Sound and the Trans-Alpine journey. The accomodations I was put up in were fabulous both in Franz Josef -Punga Grove and Blue Peak Lodge , Queenstown.Such lovely staff in both the places and such warmly , cozy places. The lunches organised at hotels as well as the packed picnic lunches were great! The coach drivers were humourous, knowledgeable and so helpful. Although I would have liked to make a few more stopovers in between while travelling for instance by the Tussock lands, or by some river valleys etc. To travel so far and not to savour some more of nature was a bit sad. Also, it would have been nice to add a stay at Mount Cook as we hardly got to go outside the Hermitage Hotel...it was a brief lunch stopover so a tad bit disappointed on that one. Altogether a great tour, met some lovely folks in New Zealand , so friendly and helpful.! So thank you for that great tour and for helping me chalk out a plan to make the most of my journey all the way from Dubai to New Zealand ! Noho ora mai 😊 Hopefully that is correct! Love New Zealand !

Smooth and really slick all the connections with great sights, taxi pick ups events etc were amazing! truly slick and made the entire experience easy and fun. The only thing i would mention is that the app needs updating regarding the suggested things todo in areas under restaurants etc especially in Chch where not only were recommended places for food not open but had not been ther for 9 years due to the earthquake. so spend the money go and see then all check they are still there, i appreciate an advertising fee for places to be listed - lone star everywhere - but make it unique and check they all still exist. Overall fantastic holiday.

Great coach tours with knowledgeable and entertaining guides/chauffeurs. For the most part they were on time or early and we easily made all of tour stops. Lots of great information about the things we were looking at and history of the land. The train ride would have been a lot better if we could have actually have heard the A/V presentation. Unfortunately we were given seat assignments near a very loud Indian or Pakistani family that were shouting so loud you couldn't hear anything but them. The stewards instructed us to stay in our seats but never talked to them until I complained near the end of the trip, when we were permitted to move to another car.

Our trip to New Zealand was beautiful. We love New Zealand for the friendly people, beautiful scenery and food. It was an adventure with the disruptions because of the weather. We like to thank Christina Brockie for her assistance and patience dealing with our emails, phone calls, etc. We already recommended Thrifty Tour to our friend who is keen on visiting New Zealand this year. Thank you and have an awesome 2020.

Hi - While we are happy with the planning and services provided by Thrifty Tours and its Sales Rep, we are absolutely unhappy with this tour experience. In our opinion this is not a country to be visited by spending so much money with the risk of investments due to its unpredictable weather. Thanks. Ravi.

Everything went well. The day trip on the Dune rider on 90 mile beach was the best day.

All went well as planned. No problems at all. The Garden Court in Queenstown was well worth the extra cost. Milford overnight was great.

LOVED my trip to New Zealand. Nicole was amazing and put together the most amazing itinerary for my Mom and myself. Everything was planned and taken care of including an easy to follow itinerary App I downloaded on my phone. Great big thanks to Nicole and Thrifty Tours for making our vacation in New Zealand so easy and wonderful. Will definitely use you again when I come back. Cheers, Kimberley Young
