Exceeded My Expectations
I initially approached Paul with some rather ambitious holiday plans, the principle aim being to enjoy the main highlights
of New Zealand in just 11 days! I wished to experience a little bit of everything, i.e. sight-see in three of the main cities,
witness some of the volcanic / geothermal sites in the North Island, and appreciate some of the mountainous regions in the South Island.
All the arrangements went very smoothly and I was able to see and enjoy so much. Choosing several internal flights was not only convenient to speed up travelling between places, but on several occasions, they acted like scenic pleasure flights, particularly those over the South Island! It’s hard to say which were the best parts of my holiday! One notable highlight was cruising on Milford Sound which was a magical experience, made even better when we were able to see penguins and dolphins. Even the drive to get there through Fiordland was stunning.
The accommodation choices were excellent, the best ones, in my opinion, being the smaller boutique hotels / homestays where the personal touches and Kiwi hospitality really added another dimension to the holiday. The only slight disappointment was that I couldn't walk the Tongariro Crossing due to poor weather in Taupo. However, my host arranged for her cousin to drive me around to the main sites in the Taupo region that day which more than made up for it!
Overall, my holiday was amazing and exceptionally rewarding! I had a most memorable time and the trip exceeded my expectations.
I've been very impressed throughout the past year with Paul’s superb personalized service and expertise, and I look forward to
designing
next year's holiday with him over
the coming months!
