Every moment of our trip planned by New Zealand Travel Organizer was perfect -- lodging, scheduled events, suggestions for side excursions. We can't recommend them highly enough. We had such a variety of experiences from geysers to glowworms to kiwis to spas and every night a welcoming and beautiful place to sleep! Beyond perfect!

Booked an 8 day ski package with NZ Ski packages which included 2 bedroom apartment, car rental and Treble Cone/Cardrona ski lift tickets. Overall am very happy with the quality and location of the apartment and the great service provided for a hassle free ski holiday.

The lead up, communication and organising prior to the trip was easy, efficient and prompt. Jessica checked in with us throughout the trip. The accommodation was very good, comfortable beds with room serviced daily. The kitchen was big enough and stocked to cook our breakfasts and dinners. But we had a fantastic time. Wanaka is a beautiful town with spectacular scenery, and nice restaurants and pubs. I would recommend New Zealand Travel Organiser to anyone. We will be back again! Thanks for looking after us Jessica.

In previous travels I have mostly managed arrangements myself. Decided to entrust an agent as this trip was agreed on with my husband at short notice, and neither of had visited NZ before. Pleased to report that I’m 100 percent happy with this choice 👍🏼NZ Travel Organiser team were faultless in their professionalism , responsiveness to communication and happy to respond to queries regarding modifying the itinerary , including last minute bookings whilst we were on the trip. Excellent service, totally recommend . Thank you to Jess and the NZ travel organiser team

We travel extensively, but have never have used a travel organizer like New Zealand Travel Organizer. A friend recommended. It was wonderful, and I'm just sorry that they are not operating in other countries. They spent a lot of time making sure our trip was tailored to our interests, pace, level of comfort, and budget. We had an amazing trip and it all turned out great! Nicole and her team were also very responsive to any questions I had before and during the trip. It was wonderful how supported we felt. It was the blend of both being on a tour made for us, and yet being on our own. Well done Nicole and team, and New Zealand Travel Organiser!

Clicked on their ad on the New Zealand government Tourist website. Our windfall! Communicated with Nicole. This was our first visit to New Zealand and on my bucket list for decades. Outlined our needs and do's/don'ts. No bungee jumping, sky diving, etc. My wife and I are in the late 70's. I mentioned I would like to golf a few times. In spite of the very general outline, Nicole managed to develop a very detailed itinerary which turned out to be excellent. Did a LOT! The accommodations were excellent, the places to see/visit arranged by Nicole were the right decisions. The accommodations/car rentals/the transfers between airport from/to hotels/golf/parks and the Train from Wellington to Auckland were all prepaid and we only had to give our name and our reservations were seamless. We had 1 issue with the second car rental and we had a New Zealand Travel Organizer on the phone late on a Friday evening attempting to resolve the issue. Definitely not their Fault. It was the rental agency who screwed up. Nicole had us tour both the North Island and South Island. and quite a few towns/ciites in each. Nicole had arranged visits to Watomo Glowowrm Caves, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, Milford Sound and had suggestions on what to see/do in each town we stayed. Would highly recommend New Zealand Travel Organiser.

Our trip was unbelievably wonderful ! The booking process etc. was effortless,all our tickets and reservations were in order ! No worries there! I don't believe that we could choose a "favorite " part of this trip. It was mind-blowing from the beginning to the end! It was truly the "trip of a lifetime"We'd like to thank Nicole for arranging this "Dream Vacation" for us! We went on multiple tours( We're LOTR fans) most on our own, but three were guided tours, that were all fantastic ! The guides were the best! Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and entertaining! We'll be grateful, to all of these people, forever!

This was the first time I used a travel agency to plan a trip, and I am just so blown away by how awesome New Zealand Travel Organiser did! I have wanted to visit New Zealand since I was 12 years old (I'm 36); it has been my number one bucket list item for a really long time. This trip was a mammoth milestone for me, and NZ Travel Organiser held it with such care. Nicole was the main team member assigned to my trip, and she was extremely attentive, communicative, and accommodating. I got to do and see all of the LOTR sites I wanted, in addition to the profound beauty of New Zealand, and I left with such a sense of satisfaction. Everyone in my itinerary showed up when they were supposed to, checking in to hotels and excursions was an absolute breeze, communication was thorough; using this company really alleviated the mental load, and I was able to fully relax into everything. I loved the itinerary Nicole put together, and I opened it everyday to easily access what was on for the day. It was fantastic! NZ Travel Organiser deserves the high marks and their glowing reputation. I definitely felt like it was luxury service, and I am not at all used to being pampered that way, so it was a special treat. I want to also give credit to Alex and Jess who also coordinated with me on days when Nicole was on leave. They were also brilliant! I will definitely solicit NZ Travel Organiser's services in the future and highly recommend them to anyone traveling to New Zealand!

I have to take some time to recommend New Zealand Travel Organisers for their stellar work! We approached them with a few strong preferences--outdoor adventures with experienced guides, train trips through gorgeous scenery, and hotel stays that helped us to feel pampered. We even had a sample itinerary, based on some research we had done before we reached out. From the start, Alex took the time to understand our preferences and worked from our sample itinerary to craft the honeymoon of our dreams. The back-and-forth was really easy--we mostly used email to communicate because of the time difference, but we did find a day when we could catch up via a WhatsApp call. At first, Alex put together an itinerary based on our specific research, but we had the most fun when we gave her permission to go off-book, and she swapped out hotels and cities for those that she thought better fit the type of vacation we were looking for. The online booking system we used for payment went very smoothly, with no bugs to speak of.
