Ease of planning & booking

I recently had the pleasure of booking a trip to New Zealand with First Light Travel, and I can say without a doubt that it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The decision to travel with them was an easy one, primarily due to how simple and efficient the planning and booking process was. Everything was seamless, and their responses to my inquiries were always prompt, relevant, and accurate, which made the entire journey feel smooth and stress-free.

The itinerary provided was spot on and tailored to my interests. I felt well-informed and prepared throughout the trip, with all the details I needed laid out clearly. One highlight of the trip was Rotorua, where I had the chance to explore the hot springs and geyser areas. It was absolutely amazing—such a unique experience that I'll remember for years to come.

The activities suggested were a perfect fit for me, and I didn't come across any that I didn't enjoy. The accommodations were great, just as I expected, and the transport was all very convenient. One minor hiccup I encountered was driving around Auckland, especially with the ongoing construction and one-way streets. While it wasn’t ideal, I understand there’s not much that can be done about that.

As for the value, I can confidently say the service I received represented excellent value for money. It was a great trip, and I truly appreciated how First Light Travel managed the details.

The only small suggestion I’d have is for them to include restaurant recommendations in the itinerary. The hotel we stayed at wasn't particularly helpful in that regard, and having a few go-to dining spots would have been helpful.

All in all, I had a wonderful time, and I would absolutely recommend First Light Travel to friends, family, or colleagues planning a trip to New Zealand.
