'Sweet as' South

The trip itself was great and would highly recommend it to anyone. The itinerary was great with enough free days to do our own thing. Perhaps the only downfall was the amount of hours spent on the coach driving to each town

Value for money and the things you see will blow your mind!!

The scenery was beautiful and we lucked at with absolutely fantastic weather.

The South Island was incredible. Trip Manager - Rae, was great. Excited to go back and see the North Island. Had the most amazing time!

Trip manager Chels, and driver ‘Weeman’ were absolute legends, didn’t even let personal circumstances get in the way of their professionalism. The trip is fantastic. Get ready to be doing things all day every day like I did or do your own thing with the travel and accom sorted! Only thing I can say against it is that I would recommend booking the twin share accom option otherwise had a great time!

I recently went on the April 2019 Sweet as South Contiki and it was the most amazing experience ever!

The trip itself was everything I could have wished for, or imagined, and more...I loved that the itinerary not only included popular tourist destinations, but also intimate local insights. Our trip manager was friendly and helpful and amazing overall, and our bus driver was hilarous, what a personality! What a beautiful country, and what an amazing way to experience it! If anything, I would have loved the first kickstarter night to have some group/team building games or activities to get to know everyone, especially being such a large group (50+ people!).

The destination, activities and trip manager were amazing. The people you meet become lifelong friends and you never feel alone

Starting with the stunning Franz Joseph and on to Queenstown was the perfect adventure filled beginning to our trip, finishing with the scenic Lake Ohau was a great way to unwind with our new friends.

Incredible contiki team and included activities

Travelled some of the best roads possible, awesome activities and well organised!

This trip was a life changing experience! I quit my job while on the South Island to extend my contiki to the north island as well! Rae and Masso deserve a huge raise as they were so informative and helpful and made the trip amazing for everyone!

such an amazing place - views were great, and so much to do on the trip. didn't want it to end!!

The tour was great. If I had more time I would have extended to finish in Auckland and do the North Island as well.

Money well spent, it was actually better than expected.

The hotel in Queenstown had terrible breakfast, I do not eat sweet in rhe morning and 2 days were sweet. I consider there should be 2 optiona for everyone so could be choosen. Also sharing rooms with 8 people more is too much, luckly I have shared with only 2 more girls. All other in this trip was good and I enjoyed every moment.

Well worth it. I would do it all over again!

I expected much better quality for this money! It was very poor service but New Zealand is beautiful.

Absolutely loved this tour! Had an amazing Contiki team (Hannah + Dylan ??) that were well experienced and very knowledgeable about NZ! Starting in Christchurch was great, although just be aware that this is part of a longer Contiki with people who have already been on the tour for a few days prior. Franz Josef had plenty to do and the accommodation was basic but offered everything you needed. Definately pack a waterproof jacket!! Queenstown was amazing. This is where you decide what type of trip you want. From skydiving to hikes, there is so much free time to be able to do whatever you want! Definately do the skyline dinner and ice bar add-ons! Having the Milford sound cruise included was perfect! Definately one of the best inclusions! All round great tour for anyone who has never been to New Zealand before that gives you flexibility with free time and great inclusions!
