Tour agency in Hamilton

“I have just come home from a great day with Earth Scientist Dr Megan Balks on one of Greta's fabulous tours. We started in Hamilton with a brief explanation of New Zealand geological history, the Waikato Basin, the Waikato River and the impacts of the Taupo 132AD eruptions. We then drove through the Waikato and were shown many examples of evidence of this history, ending in Raglan. Once again, Greta has provided an exceptional day trip with her usual care and attention to detail. Thank you Greta and Megan. Anne D”

“At the end of 2023 I decided to challenge myself to run the London Marathon in 2024. I went through marathon tours as I had heard good things and I liked the fact that I would get to meet likeminded people as part of this experience as this was my first marathon. The tour group was amazing, I felt so supported and was so grateful to Paul and Matt and the other members of the tour who gave me advice and who celebrated with me when I finished. Some of us have gone on to remain friends after the tour and are already talking about our next adventure. On the day of the marathon it was great to be able to go together in a bus to get start line and even though we had to wait in the cold I was happy to be at the start line in plenty of time and not to have to worry about getting there on the tube. The location of the hotel was great for being central to so many things you want to do but also so grateful for how close it was to the finish line. I have never been so happy to see my hotel room as I was that day. The breakfasts were a great way to start the day and to also catch up with the others as to their plans or get advice. The marathon itself is an experience I will never forget, having so many strangers cheer you on and give advice and generally want you to do well is quite hard to explain and not just at the end but through the whole 42.2kms. Getting to run through the streets of London and over Tower Bridge was a surreal experience and one I will never forget. I am not going to lie running the marathon was hard physically and mentally and I hit the wall a few times but looking around at the other competitors and seeing the support they had and my own determination was enough to get me to the finish line. I loved being in London and being so central to everything meant I got to experience all my favourite parts - Buckingham Palace, Harrods, London Eye, Hyde Park and St James Park. The support that the marathon tours team gave me both leading up to the event and after was amazing. Knowing that they were only an email or call away was great. I am already planning on doing New York in 2025 and am planning on booking through Marathon Tours. Thank you for the experience, the memories and the friendships . April 2024 has gone down in my history as one of my most memorable moments and it was because of marathon tours that I was able to do this. Vanessa”

“Great service. We are based in Raglan and use them all the time to pick up friends and guests from Auckland airport, because otherwise its a 4 hour round trip for us. They are super friendly and accommodating, couldn't ask for better service. Highly recommend.”

“Great and friendly service from Keith. Always reliable, definitely recommend.”

“From my experience with Calder and Lawson they have been great. The consultant I'm dealing with has been very helpful. Great communication and she does her research. I would recommend these guys and I would definitely go to them again.”

“Jim took us thru Te Puia and Rotorua. Absolutely loved the tour. Informative. Experienced. Attentive. Efficient. I would highly recommend him to everyone.”

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Eddie Dhiman for his outstanding service and support throughout my immigration journey. With his help, my partnership visa has been approved, along with the visitor visa for my son in New Zealand. From the beginning, he is professional, approachable, and very knowledgeable. Every question I had was answered clearly and patiently, and every step of the process was well guided. Even when we lacked strong documents, He helped us present everything the best way possible. This has been a life-changing moment for our family, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your help. I highly recommend Eddie Dhiman to anyone looking for trustworthy and effective immigration assistance. Thank you so much, and may God bless you always!”

“I recently booked their shuttle from Hamilton to Auckland Airport and had a truly outstanding experience. From the moment of booking to the final drop-off, everything was seamless and professional. The shuttle arrived right on time, and the vehicle was clean, spacious, and comfortable. All my luggage fit in easily, and still plenty of space left. The driver was very friendly and helpful.He drove safely, and I reached the airport with plenty of time before my flight. I felt relaxed the whole way. I have booked them again for my return trip as well, so that I don’t face any last minute trouble. Very easy to book and I got updates about my trip. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I am very happy with the service and I recommend it to anyone who needs a ride to and from the airport.”

“Richard was a dream to work with! Super easy to deal with right from the start and knew exactly what we were after. His travel experience showed as all the accommodation he booked was super central to all the hotspots. Will definitely be using Richard again”

“I had a complex PR case, as I was not the main applicant who first received residency. Charlotte Summers from Pathways NZ took on my case and managed it with exceptional professionalism and expertise. She provided clear guidance throughout the entire process and addressed all my questions promptly. Thanks to her diligent support, my PR was approved within just two weeks. I am extremely satisfied with her services and highly recommend Charlotte and the Pathways team to anyone seeking reliable and efficient immigration assistance.”

“The staff was very friendly and warm. She is knowledgeable about the vicinity (beyond te aroha) too which is a bonus. She gave us a few maps and we are good to go!”

“If you have the idea that a horse ride is for you, it's hard to go past this place. Real down to earth kiwi farmers giving you a real farm and horse ride experience. Once on your horse, we rode up to a ridge where we had great views. It's fine for those that have ridden before and completely safe and easy for first timer's as well. Recommended”

“Angela has a friendly engaging manner, is very knowledgeable and quickly determined our style of travel providing great advice. She has been very prompt at responding to emails and putting plans/bookings in place. Highly recommend.”

“Tania is an Absolute Superstar! We cannot thank Tania enough for everything she did to help us with our wedding travel plans. From the moment we started planning, she was totally on to it—organising a large group booking for our wedding in Rarotonga, and then helping us seamlessly transition to our honeymoon in Aitutaki. Tania kept us completely in the loop the entire time, answered every question quickly, and made sure everything was stress-free and smooth—no small task when dealing with a big group! Her attention to detail was amazing, and nothing was ever a problem. On top of all that, her personality is freaking amazing. She’s warm, fun, supportive, and truly a joy to work with. Planning travel can be overwhelming, but Tania made it feel exciting and effortless. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent who genuinely goes above and beyond! Chantel and Mike”

“We are group of 16, 9A and 7C. Emma Rose Trent are the most professional patient fun guides we can ask for! We had absolutely blast!!!!!! The bonfire on the riverside and kayaking along the glow worms were beyond our expectation. Definitely recommend!”

“Brenda is amazing always able to make sure you have an incredible trip. So easy a nd profession, no hesitation in recommending her anytime you need travel sorted!”

“We were surprised at how big town centre was! It's only 20mins from Te Aroha and maybe 30mins from Hamton. Awesome town filled with surprises, plenty of cafes, bakeries and pub/steak at the historical hotel/restaurant going back 1941. Very friendly locals who didn't mind a chat with us.”

“This Information Center is run by two lovely ladies that are very helpful. They found me a great place to stay. Thanks heaps.”

“Staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They have tons of brochures and information about local festivals, events, and activities. They are able to book things for us as well, saving us from spending the day making phone calls.”

“My daughter and I recently attended the Girl Powa Adventure Day and had the best day! The weather was perfect and Pirongia Lodge is a stunning location. The activities were so much fun and the time allowed for each was just right. We got to try things we otherwise wouldn't, and I found out that my daughter is amazing at rock climbing! The group sizes were ideal and we appreciated that we were in a group with teens of a similar age. Our group had really bonded by the end of the day. It was so neat to see one of the teens in our group who was afraid of heights overcome her fears. Once she had done the zipline once there was no stopping her! We can't wait for the next event.”

“Lisa has organised multiple trips for myself and now family and friends also. She listens to what we need and follows through. A wonderful travel agent.”

“What an absolutely beautiful place. Julie and John are those rare wonderful hosts who go over and beyond to make their guests stay special and memorable. I loved their energy, enthusiasm and the zest with which they run this delightful place of theirs. This was indeed one of those trips which will be amongst my favourites for not only the biking trail we managed to complete but also our stay at this amazing place. The food was divine and something we looked forward to. Most importantly, Julie and John took our dietary requirements into consideration and treated us to some amazing gourmet food at the end of each day. This was followed by games, a soak in the spa and some banter to end the day with. Definitely a place worth staying and experiencing!! Thank you Julie and John for being such gracious hosts ❤️”

“Thanks for an epic flight this morning Mark!! It was amazing. Thanks also to John & William for your help. You guys are awesome!!”
