What travelers are saying

"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."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

"Thank you for our recent memorable South Island trip. Our experience with Xperienz was amazing! Xperienz has an excellent blend of professional and personal service. All the places that Kumar suggested and the cruises he booked us in were outstanding. On his recommendation, we were able to discover some amazing parts of the country off the beaten track. Thank you Kumar!! We look forward to exploring more beautiful spots in New Zealand with Xperienz"

What travelers are saying

"This trip was a good mix of cycling through rural Spain and cultural visits to castles, monasteries, and sanctuaries. Most of the cycling was on cycle tracks or minor roads, with very little traffic. The few hills that we did encounter were not too strenuous! Alex was an excellent guide who shared all his knowledge of the regions history, culture, industry and importantly cuisine. The trip was well planned and organised. The hotels were of a good standard, clean and comfortable. The monastery in Caravaca de la Cruz was very peaceful. My favourite place was Caravaca de la Cruz. The town had a lot of history, combined with good bars and restaurants made it a perfect place to be based for 3 nights. The last day of cycling down the river valley from Cieza back to Murcia was a brilliant day’s ride. We followed the river through farmland, villages, and towns back to the city. The smell of orange blossom as we went through the orchards was amazing. The scenery in the morning was stunning and the riverside track into Murcia was the perfect end to the trip. I would recommend this trip."
