Had a wonderful time on the trip. Flexitours did a great job of reacting to a weather issue and finding us new activities to do, and was also willing to allow new additions to the itinerary that we discovered along the way. Great trip!

The tour manager is very helpful to accommodate our needs. Very happy with all the arrangements. Thank you very much. We had a great time and enjoyed the two day tour from Auckland to Rotorua.
