Kiwiana Panorama

Best two weeks, greatest trip manager and bus driver. Great locations and activities. See above review.

I was a backpacker travelling solo and really wanted to see New Zealand. Contiki delivered an amazing trip with a family atmosphere and very smooth organisation, thanks to our great trip manager Saul James ??. It was so nice to have everything planned for me for once! - very “cruisy”. I met some great people and made some incredible friends that I will hopefully have for life. New Zealand was absolutely beautiful and the trip add ons meant that we could experience some adrenaline along the way! I highly recommend this trip - especially for going from the North Island to the South Island! I truly enjoyed my time so much that I booked another Contiki shortly after returning from New Zealand to explore Australia. The group on our trip was around half Australians and half rest of world with a heavy girl to guy ratio. The joy of this tour is that you could book all the add ons and be super busy or you could equally do none of the add ons and have free time to explore the area. There was also the option to meet up for dinner, go to a bar and go clubbing pretty much every night as well but there was no pressure to do any of it! - was a lot of fun though. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!!! Loveeeddd itttt #noregrets #Saulmates #Tikitanic2019

Read my customer review it explains everything.

Little pricey but worth it

This was a great purchase. Definitely a good value - all the hotels were quite nice for the price we paid. I was impressed with the included activities as well.

Overall I enjoyed the trip both meeting new people as well as enjoying the scenery and exploring NZ.

Great value for money, a lot included in the trip aswell as plenty extra add ons, can carry on to finish in Christchurch if possible aswell! Very good trip!

The tour was worth the money, plus the free time add-on's were worth it as well.

So many amazing things to do, and the scenery was unbelievable. Highly recommend this Contiki.

Yewwww good time. I rated it.

Dylan was an awesome driver who was responsible when he had to but knew how to have a good time with us! Chels was very knowledgeable and was very helpful suggesting all the best food and tourist attractions. Overall the trip was amazing with awesome people.

As I said before, this trip had the perfect balance of inclusions and free time add ons. Our trip manager Susie and our driver Josh where absolutely amazing and I already cannot wait to go back to NZ! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

I feel that I saw a lot of the country and experienced the beauty of the culture. There weren’t too many travel days and I was able to fit in a lot of optional extras without missing out on group activities or feeling over tired. A good mix of high adventure and chill out time, and a great mix of people on the tour.

The purchase was quite cheap for what I received.

Great trip that will span across the whole country and make sure you see everything

Most amazing experiences with other amazing like minded people all there to experience and have fun! Couldn’t ask for more! Loved every second of it and the Contiki guides and drivers are amazing too ??

the tour was amazing and the scenery was breathtaking. the only thing to improve it would be to make the longer tour offered by Contiki should end it Queenstown. and spend the few extra days going down to go through and see the places visited after Queenstown.

I had a great time on this tour. Rae was a great trip manager and got everyone involved. My only complaint is that there were multiple tours on the bus, which meant people starting and finishing in different locations. I started the tour 3 or 4 days into the tour in Queenstown and it seemed like everyone has bonded already.

Great trip manager and driver, very diverse trip with a wide variety of activities. Got to tick off a lot of my bucket list items as well. Fell in love with New Zealand because of this trip!
