Self-designed 21 day trip to NZ
Geoff helped my wife and I to put together an itinerary that customized to our particular interests and preferences. At the outset he asked us where we'd like to go and, after a small number of iterations, together we were able able to craft an itinerary that met our budget, touched on much of the places we wanted, and did not have us staying at a different resort each night. Before leaving for our trip we were given our itinerary and confirmation #'s/vouchers/contact #'s for all of our activities and hotels captured in an easy-to-use app that made it extremely easy to transition to the next point of our journey. He and his assistant were quick to respond to any questions we had along the way as well. Overall, we had a great stay and highly endorse Geoff and RealNZ for anyone planning a bespoke trip to NZ.

The entire experience was fantastic and our guide (Luisa) was BEYOND awesome! The communication from HQ in the UK could've been better but things worked out pretty much as they stated. I feel very lucky that we got the guide we did. Travelling through New Zealand and having a Maori woman regale us with traditional stories and experiences really added to the authenticity of the experience. She was also funny and personable. It would have been great if she had more freedom to take us to random places that were in addition to the itinerary.

The trip it self felt comprehensive and made me want to go back for more. Not only that, but my fellow travelers also said that Explore is one of their go to tour groups; so now it will be mine too :-)

Walking in New Zealand
Hard to pick one thing but the trip out on Milford Sound was definitely A highlight. We arrived just after heavy rain and the rock faces were literally covered with curtains of waterfalls. Totally magical experience.

Wonderful trip and itinerary, very experienced and informative tour guide. The only glitch was with the accommodation in Christchurch. First, the hotel did not provide breakfast, which was included in the trip, but the tour guide got this quickly sorted.

Second, I had paid for a 2 day extension of my accommodation but the hotel claimed that they didn't receive the payment from Explore. This miscommunication between the hotel and Explore left me in an awkward position and was an unfortunate way to end an otherwise great trip.
