How much spending money should I bring? - New Zealand
Last Updated: 21st May 2013
More Tour and Travel Advice for New Zealand
How much spending money to budget for is a difficult question to answer as everyone has their own style and rate of travel spending. Some will go out and shop till they drop spending perhaps 100’s of dollars every day, other will party spending more in bars while again others will spend more money on museum entries and souvenirs, while others yet again will get though on the bare essentials.
Unlike many holiday and vacation operators Contiki includes many extras, sightseeing excursions, meals and highlights as part of the tour, however we do not fill every hour of every day and there is ample free time to enjoy the cities and countries you visit at your leisure.
As a rough guide we suggest budgeting approximately NZ$100 a day. In New Zealand there is a 12.5% GST (Goods and Services Tax)included in the price of all items.
In order to budget more accurately you should take into account the optional excursions that you may wish to participate in during your tour.
If possible, it’s always better to over estimate how much you may spend and budget for that as if you come across an experience or something you really want to do or have you will have room in your budget, and if you don’t spend the money all the better at the end of the tour.

I went to New Zealand for a shopping weekend last month and frankly the airplane cost me more than everything put together. I was able to buy some good fantasy fragrance perfumes and some good shoes and clothes. A shopping weekend in New Zealand was better than one in Italy.

100 NZ$ a day sounds fair in the current exchange market. We there there recently and found so many inexpensive and free things to do. What a beautiful country! Ryan

Make sure you try currywurst in Germany. It's basically a hot dog with tomato sauce (ketchup) and curry powder. Tastes brilliant and only costs 1 or 2 Euro.
A great way to spend the afternoon in Paris? Grab some cheese, a baguette and some wine from the shops on the Champs Elysees and head down for a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower!
The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
