Hi Christine,

We’re at the airport at CHC. We’ve had such a spectacular time. Know that we spent most of the trip smiling and many of those were attributable to you and how you worked with me.

I can’t thank you enough.

My first time to NZ & what a trip. First Light Travel were exceptional in helping to plan our itinerary, & the trip went well without a hitch. The whole process went like clockwork & the voucher system for bookings made it so much easier for us. I would definitely use First Light Travel for any trip to NZ. Great communication & feedback - essential when planning a trip.

Just go to First Light Travel as your No 1 travel site.

First Light Travel knows exactly what they’re doing! They were amazing through the whole planning process and there were no issues arriving to New Zealand. We had the best honeymoon traveling all over New Zealand and had no worries thanks to First Light Travel. From the excursions to the cute bed and breakfasts to the transportation set up, First Light Travel did an amazing job handling it all!

Thank you, for all your help in organizing our trip to your wonderful country. The itinerary you created for us was an excellent balance between scheduled activities/"must sees" and unscheduled time. We saw a great deal and got a good sense of New Zealand from all the places we visited.

Sofie,

We received your email and will be posting some reviews, but I wanted to let you know how very much we enjoyed our trip!!! Honestly, you would not believe how many times we thanked our lucky stars for you and your amazing itinerary! There is no way we could have planned such a perfect experience on our own.

We loved loved loved the House With No Nails, the darling hostess and yummy breakfast and the views out the windows at the vast green meadows.  It seemed so wrong to drive away after just one night:) We loved Hobbiton and the evening feast, that was simply magical, and we made lifelong friends as we relaxed and enjoyed that evening.

We loved the Pancake Rocks and the flight trip to Mt. Cook, and the Lord of The Rings tour.  We enjoyed all the driving, criss crossing across the country to see and discover what New Zealand is like. We really felt like you were so skilled in knowing what we would want to see and do, and in arranging every step for us so that we were able to enjoy it all stress free.  I even did ok driving on the left side of the road!! It was actually fun.

So thank you dear Sofie, for a wonderful experience.  We will be raving about you and First Light for years!

Hi Amelia

Just wanted to check in and send you  big thank you for the tour you arranged. It has been amazing so far and even the weather has been in our favour with most days being lovely and sunny. Been very blessed so far which has made it even more special. Also have attached a couple of pictures and just wanted to thank you for making that possible.

Will always be a special place for us now!

All the best

First Light Travel was hands down the best company that I have ever worked with! They were so accommodating to every email. They called me several times on their dime just to get to know me and my holiday desires better. They worked with me countless hours to develop the perfect itinerary. Their services didn't cost us a penny! They even mailed us our itineraries in addition to emailing them and had a bag of maps for us at our accommodation in case our GPS didn't work. If you are going to Australia or New Zealand, and you don't use First Light Travel, you are nuts.
