Excursions in Auckland

“Robert from NZ-Tourism Tours was so helpful and responded to my questions in a prompt manner. We booked the Kirra 9 day South Island tour and we had an awesome time. It was my 79 year old mother’s first overseas trip. Our driver/tour guide Ian was very knowledgable and personable -he really looked after us. The accommodation was great, the food was good, and the places we visited were breathtaking. I highly recommend NZ-Tourism Tours.”

“Had my surprise 50th Birthday on the Paua-Cat Charter Boat! Picked up at Bayswater, mimosa cocktails, then to Waiheke Mudbrick Vineyard for lunch, stopped over for a swim at a small island afterwards, then back to marina with Sunset Cocktails. I am related to the Captain, but this was my first boat charter and was spectacular. First time in Hauraki Gulf, adventuring in the islands, looking back at Auckland City. Magnificent sunsets, and instagram heaven. Highly recommend!!!”

“We started planning our trip for a 3.5 week trip to NZ 14 months ago and when we were looking for a provider for self-drive cars we found out GreatDays NZ Tours and Mr Schmiedel. Even at this early stage, GreatDays was able to make us an offer that was quickly updated over the next few weeks according to our wishes. Extensive online documents were available, which were very helpful during the trip together with Google Maps - one click on the link and you knew where to go. There were no problems on the entire trip. All hosts were fully and well informed about us. We were already expected everywhere and welcomed with friendly words. The booked transfers (pick-ups and ferry) and everything related to the rental car also went smoothly - from the handover to us in Auckland to the return at the airport in Christchurch. An unforgettable experience that deserves 6 stars.”

“Twin Coast Discovery Tour was amazing! Had the pleasure of visiting twice and can’t say enough good things about the people and the tour itself. Very organized and allows you to relax and enjoy beautiful New Zealand. Want to go back!!!”

“Caro and her team have arranged our travel to USA and Europe for many years . They are the best ! Always efficient and professional. Recently Caro helped us enormously with urgent flight arrangements, even working over a holiday weekend. If you need expert help with travel arrangements there is none better.”

“I have got the most amazing memories on these boats in the company of my friends & family. The food we've had from the catering menu the staff do themselves is absolutely delicious. The meat & ingredients are nothing but the best, even better than a 5 star restaurant! I could rave on about the service they provide. Keep up the unbeatable party cruises, thank you!”

“I have been booking my pacific holidays through Our Pacific several times . The travel agents are very efficient and provided very good service. I had wonderful holidays in Fiji, Moorea and Raratonga. I wanted to thank Rick Felderhof , managing director who helped me to get my refund from Crystal cruise line during COVID time. He kept chasing the cruise line company and helped me filing the claims. He is persistent to show his dedication to the client, that I got the full refund now. It was a long journey but he never gave up to advocate for me. I would like recommend this travel agent to anyone who wants hassle free holidays. Thanks again to Our Pacific.”

“Shopped around and this site had the best offers!”

“Rachel is fantastic. She has looked after our dog and taken her on the best adventures for the last 2 years or so. We love her but not nearly as much as our dog does.”

“The best in the west for travel Kathy and team are so easy to deal with comes up with the deals and advisers where to go and what to do”

“Amazing! One of the best tours we have been on. Lorraine was super informative, efficient, and knew her stuff! She was super kind and took us to a great place for lunch. If you are going to Auckland, I highly advise.”

“Wanted to say a huge shout out and thank you to Globus Brand and Avalon. Just completed a 15-day Magnificent Europe river cruise aboard Imagery II, and it was absolutely fantastic. Even though the cruise ended at Passau due to high water levels, Avalon well and truly took good care of us, bussing us to Vienna and Budapest, putting us up in luxurious hotels, providing us each with 30 euros for lunch and compensating us 50% cost for days we werent aboard. This company truly has outstanding customer service standards. Best in the business! If you want a relaxed holiday on board a stunning boat with top professional staff, then try Avalon. We've had two river cruises aboard Imagery II now, and we'll keep coming back again and again. Thank you so much, Avalon and Globus, for another true life memory.”

“What an amazing experience...terry is such a good guy”

“Wonderful centre. Very supportive and capable staffs.”

“As my next birthday starts with an 8, I find travelling more & more daunting. Travelling with Tours Direct makes it so easy as they take care of everything. The ‘Jewels of India Tour’ from which I have just returned certainly was ‘above & beyond’ Bursts of colour, architecture, landscapes & of course the people very proud of traditions & very welcoming. Pleasant & attentive. Ahh the food, so much & soooo good, alfresco, picnic, wonderful. Cuddling & walking with an elephant, safari to find leopards & we did. Magic. Even took in a little Bollywood. How amazing & knowlegeable our guide & along with our own dedicated leader, Jenni we had an unbeatable duo to take us on this magical ride. Again, nothing too much trouble & always coming up with surprises for us. Oh I forgot the accomodation Wow. I want to do it all again. Did I mention shopping? Thank Tours Direct & the gracious Jenni Chris W”

“Great place friendly staff very welcoming :)”

“Great company to deal with, quick responses, very knowledgeable about the products they offer obviously having extensively traveled and made all our arrangements hassle free. Can’t wait to go again, I need time off for a 6 month holiday at least twice a year.”

“Have some very interesting holidays on offer.”

“Had a great day out with these guys today ..the kids loved it ..recommend this charter to anyone ..will definitely cruise again.....everyone should see what is in our own backyard”

“I first met Paula at YOU Travel Westgate when booking a cruise in 2018. She made it so effortless, so when I planned my trip to Canada this year I went straight back to her. Paula organised everything perfectly, she even made the hotels and tour providers aware it was my birthday, which made it extra special. Everything went like clock-work, despite the numerous hotel changes and bus pick-ups, and the accommodation was excellent. Thank you Paula and the team at YOU Travel Westgate - I am already thinking about where to go next!”
