Amazing scenery and so much to do. We loved every minute of our trip

I travelled for a month with my wife on the super funky route. We were initially a little skeptical as we heard that this was a bit of a party bus tour but we ended up being pleasantly surprised. We ended up making some good friends along the trip and while the passengers are generally young, it didn't have that crazy "party bus" vibe we were concerned about. We found the buses took us to places we might never have considered visiting and may have missed it on had we rented our own vehicle. Also, we enjoyed that the tour removed the potential stress with arranging your own itinerary, it was nice knowing we simply had to be at the right place at the right time to be picked up and the rest was largely sorted for us. We had a great trip and would highly recommend it! We've forged some wonderful memories with Kiwi Experience that we certainly won't forget.

I think it's a wonderful way to see the country without any major outlay and you are able to stop whenever the mood takes you.

Had driver Emily for the majority of my trip (Auckland-Queenstown and then later, Queenstown-Christchurch). Emily was great, lots of fun and provided us with lots of info, stories and recommendations along the way. Kiwi experience made it really easy to see New Zealand and I had so much fun and made fantastic friends along the way!

Nice trip to see all the hotspots from the north in a short time

I️ was researching what was the best way to travel New Zealand as a solo backpacker, and after watching several youtube vlogs and blogs about people’s great experiences, i️ decides it would be the best option for me. The drivers were very informative and always there for you, which was great. It created a good environment for the sometimes long and tiring bus drives.

I started my kiwi experience in November and I'm on my last day. It's been incredible. New Zealand is amazing. The kiwi experience is such an easy company to travel with, and the people you meet along the way are so cool. I've sky dived, bungy jumped, walked 13 miles, seen volcanoes, lakes, mountains, rivers, glaciers and more. At times it can feel like your stick in a tourist trap and you should be aware that most of the hostels and companies they recommend are an umbrella company of the kiwi experience. There's nothing stopping you exploring other options though and finding alternative accommodation! I'd do my trip over again if I could it's been sweet as!

Was initially going to self-drive but so glad that we didn't. The drivers were brilliant and took all the hassles in their stride and helped make it the holiday of a lifetime. Can not possibly thank you all enough for your total professionalism throughout our trip. We are both in our sixties but this was not a problem and we would advise anyone from 18 to 70+ to just go do it and thank me later!!

I got the whole kit and kaboodle and it doesn't feel enough as it's amazing

I had a brilliant time on the Kiwi Experience. It was a fab was of seeing New Zealand
