My husband and I had a 3 day tour with Curtis. Everything we experienced and saw was top-notch for our first visit to New Zealand. It was quite exciting to be in a part of the world that we knew nothing about other than a little bit on T.V. He was so knowledgeable, informative, and just had a very easygoing, fun personality. We saw so many things in such a short time, breathtaking coastline and rock formations, a visit to the Lost Spring to soak in their hot pools, a winery, experienced some great local spots for lunch, and just all the natural, green beauty of this amazing country. It could have been overwhelming, but Curtis broke it all down for us and we learned so much from him. The van ride was quite comfortable, there were snacks and drinks available for us, and I don't think I would have changed a thing. This was a great company to work with for sure.

THANK YOU CURTIS!!!!!!!!!!!! We were lucky enough to spend the first two days of our honeymoon with Curtis and he did not disappoint. He was an incredible driver and incredible company. He went above and beyond to tailor everything to our interests including food and activities. He set the tone for our 2.5 week trip and are so grateful.

Our day touring the area was a major highlight of our time in New Zealand. The views of Auckland and our visit to Takatunga/Mount Victoria were made special with the commentary provided by our Māori guide, Breviss. We learned so much about Māori history and culture. After a fabulous lunch, we travelled to the west coast and visited the beautiful Piha Beach. One of the most memorable stops on the way back to Auckland was seeing a 1,000 year old kauri tree. It was breathtaking! These are memories we will carry with us forever.

Great excursion!!! A must do!! Disappointed when the guide called my husband and I out by name for not being on the bus & said there were others as well. But here is the problem. She said she would pick us up on the other side, but didn't say don't go to the look out.

Brevus was a very fun and entertaining tour guide. He being of Mari decent gave a cultural tour about his ancestors and their plight after a treaty was signed with England. With only one day allotted to see the city, I would have liked a bit more information about the city but otherwise it was a great tour.
