Our vacation was truly amazing. Georgia Swanton created an itinerary filled with fabulous sites to explore that allowed us to view many diverse places. Our pickup was conveniently located near our hotel accommodations and was on time with friendly tour guides/drivers. The attention to detail was excellent. We enjoyed visiting the Cardrona Hotel, and the ride and trip to Milford Sound was fabulous. We enjoyed the relaxing ride through Arthur’s Pass with breathtaking scenery on all our expeditions. The nicest bed was in Sudima at the Punga with a delicious included breakfast. Overall, New Zealanders were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We highly recommend Thirty Tours and found them to be responsive, organized, and with a sincere desire to make your experience memorable. Do not hesitate to reach out to them, as you will be thankful that you did. Even with a change in our schedule of a couple months due to an unforeseen situation on our end, we felt confident that our trip would still be successful. It fulfilled our expectations, and we are most thankful for their service. Georgia kept us updated and communicated clearly with us. She made us feel as though we were not bothering her and supported us throughout our journey. Thank you!
All tours were worthwhile; however, the trips to the Cape and the Hole on the Rock were exceptional.
The App was a godsend- saved lots of hassle with paperwork, and the in-app messaging was very useful.
The trip was so well organised by Alfred Lusby; it was seamless from start to departure, allowing us to sit back, relax, and enjoy our time in New Zealand. It was filled with engaging activities and stunning sights that made every day a success. The places we stayed were welcoming, with the transport to and from being comfortable with informative drivers. I could recommend Fine Tours and especially Alfred for holidaying in New Zealand.
Blown away by Lake Matheson views of Fox Glacier. The drive from Wanaka to Queenstown is world-class. Punga Grove motel exceeded our expectations. Can't thank you enough, Jessica. All your arrangements worked flawlessly, cars, trains, and motels perfect. I will certainly recommend and tour again with Thrifty, great job. Cheers Ian

Very hard we enjoyed the lot. Cheeky Kiwi tours especially Hannah, Joel and Jase were super guides that showed us great side trips (like the Catlins not so busy). We were there for the 15 year commemoration event of Christchurch quake which was very moving (the guide who picked us up at the airport told us about it) All the accommodation was great, we think the best bed might have been Distinction Te Anau.
Next time, we will stay at least 2 nights at each destination. The trip was wonderfully jam-packed, and we have ideas for next time!
When we contacted Thrifty via the app during our holiday, you gave quick and helpful responses. Thank you.
The whole trip was fantastic from the start, however Farewell Spit and Milford Sound were probably the highlight for me.
The whole trip ran like a dream, from airport pick-ups to tour guide pick-up times.
Everything ran like clockwork with no problems.
We can't recommend Thrifty Tours enough for their professional approach and going out of their way to organise the trip we wanted.
Overall, it was a really good tour. Every connection was made without a problem. We saw a lot of the country. South Island, New Zealand, is the most beautiful country in the world!
Our favorite experience was the trip from Queenstown to Franz Josef with Cheeky Tours. Lots of amazing natural places, stops, and walks. Coli,n the driver was great - super knowledgeable.
The best hotel was the Millennium in Queenstown.
Overall it was really good. Every connection was made on time without a problem. We experienced a lot of south New Zealand - most beautiful country in the world!
Thank you! 🙏
Very well organized. We were transferred seamlessly to wherever we needed to be. All support staff were really pleasant and helpful.
Hard to say which part of the trip we enjoyed the most, but Cape Reigna was fantastic as was Tanya, who was our driver/guide for the day. She was exceptional!
I gave a description of what I was interested in seeing and was given a variety of options that might appeal. My favourite choice was the helicopter ride to the Franz Josef glacier.
It was easy to amend any changes with Emily Rose. I definitely benefited from her local knowledge for accommodation, travel options and activities.
