Our New Zealand trip was right up there with any other top tier travel we have taken over the decades!

Arranging our last minute 10 day trip to New Zealand with First Light Travel and Travel Designer Taylor Nguyen was a great experience that yielded fantastic results. Highly recommend to anyone looking to design a trip to New Zealand. Taylor took the time to understand our profile and interests for the trip, and developed a first class itinerary that required only subtle modifications. She was diligent in ensuring we were comfortable with the plan, range of accommodations and tours. We had an incredible time and the itinerary, accommodations, and tours were awesome and a perfect fit. Taylor's guidance in developing the overall plan and catering it specifically to our needs was outstanding. We are frequent global travelers with multiple major overseas trips per year. Our New Zealand was right up there with any other top tier travel we have taken over the decades! It was so good to return to NZ once again after over 40 years.
