Also we really liked the hotels provided on the tour. I was impressed with how quickly the travel specialist would respond to my questions and provide advice.

10-Day Southern National Parks Tour from Christchurch: Mt Cook, Queenstown, Milford Sound and Franz Josef | Flexible Independent Travel

Southern National Parks

We had a great trip, but the amount of rain was a little disappointing, most of our National parks days were rained out. We wanted to avoid the crowds of summer, which we definitely did, but thinking now fall may have been a better time to visit! Though we did have two perfect weather days in Milford, which we were told was pretty unusual. Everything went so smoothly, all the shuttles were great. Our shuttle driver from Queenstown to Franz Josef, was particularly good. They saw we liked taking photos and knew all the scenic places to stop so we could pop out and photograph. The app was super easy and convenient, and the help when we made itinerary adjustments due to weather was appreciated.

We have just returned from an amazing independent tour of New Zealand. All the hotels & tours were fantastic. The APP we were provided with was very helpful, giving advice about things to do and places to eat etc. Throughout the trip we had immediate access to someone who could help us if needed. If I ever have the opportunity to visit this wonderful country again, I would definitely use company again. Thank you.
