14 day trip to New Zealand, and our experience was excellent

USA

We just got home from a 14 day trip to New Zealand, and our experience was excellent!
Taylor was great, helped us build our entire trip exactly the way we envisioned it. All of our accommodations were excellent, transports and bookings were on time, and improvising after we had to make some adjustments due to the weather went seamlessly.We had a great time, highly recommend this company!
