New Zealand North and South Island Custom Trip: A Perfect Review ✨
Our perfect New Zealand trip has finally concluded, and I must sincerely commend our custom trip planner and two amazing driver-guides who ensured our journey was smooth and safe from start to finish. This trip was truly worry-free, comfortable, unforgettable, and precious because of them!
First, I wholeheartedly recommend my custom trip planner, Ma Xiaoma! During our initial communication, she instantly understood all my needs, knew what I was thinking, and what I required. The itinerary she designed was reasonable and seamless, always balancing cost-effectiveness. The final plan perfectly matched my expectations and even saved us a lot of money. Throughout the preparation phase, she provided thoughtful follow-up, from major tasks like coordinating booking times and closely monitoring visa processes, to minor details like various helpful travel tips – she was meticulous, patient, and thorough in every aspect. I completely entrusted her with hotel selection, and all the hotels in Tekapo, Wanaka, and Queenstown were stunning lake-view rooms with excellent views, directly adding the perfect touch to our entire trip! When the itinerary unexpectedly changed due to weather during the trip, she responded immediately and actively coordinated solutions, making us feel completely secure throughout.
I also want to give a huge shout-out to our two professional and warm-hearted driver-guides for both the North and South Islands:
Our North Island driver-guide, Floyd, was enthusiastic, thoughtful, humorous, and caring. Even though we encountered rain throughout the trip, and our planned hot springs and Huka Falls jet boat were canceled, he actively found ways to adjust the itinerary on the fly, minimizing the impact of the weather and ensuring the best possible experience for us. He also accurately recommended authentic local cuisine based on our tastes and additionally took us to check out the Rotorua Redwoods and Auckland's Mount Eden, making the trip full of surprises and much more colorful.
Our South Island driver-guide, Ryan, was a man of few words but meticulous and perfectly reliable. After whale watching and the helicopter ride were canceled due to weather, he patiently helped us find alternative solutions. He even took us to feed alpacas, and touching an alpaca up close for the first time was truly instantly therapeutic! Knowing our preference for natural landscapes, he specifically took us along the Arrowtown riverside path and took stunning photos for us in Glenorchy and Wanaka. Even when I accidentally lost my DJI lanyard, he tirelessly helped us retrieve it, showing how meticulous and responsible he was, making us feel incredibly at ease.
Although this New Zealand trip had minor hiccups due to weather, it became an irreplaceable beautiful memory thanks to the dedicated care of our custom trip planner and two driver-guides throughout. The entire trip was worry-free, comfortable, and secure, with every detail showcasing professionalism and warmth. I highly recommend them to all friends who want to visit New Zealand; choosing them will definitely not disappoint! Sincere thanks to Ma Xiaoma, Floyd, and Ryan for giving us such a perfect travel experience ❤️
Other visitors' reviews of Mount Eden
Show More ReviewsAlthough Mount Eden is not high, you can overlook the whole of Auckland from the top of the mountain, and the view is particularly wide. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, covered with green grass, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to walk all the way up. You can also see sheep grazing on the hillside. Their leisurely appearance makes people can't help but take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, which makes people feel particularly bright. It is a good place that does not require tickets or planning, but can leave very deep memories.
