New Zealand Honeymoon Trip Review: Mount Cook, Christchurch, Hiking, Kayaking, Local Cuisine

If we could give our Zicasso travel partner, specifically our amazing tour specialist, a rating of 10, we would do so with zero hesitation. Everything from the initial consultation with her through the planning process and the trip itself was absolutely flawless. This was the most incredible trip of our life!

This was our honeymoon (delayed a couple of years because of Covid). Our agent did things for us that were so far above our expectations. For example, when we arrived on our first day in Christchurch, there was a handwritten note and a bottle of champagne. Things only got better from there.

At a couple of the hotels on the South Island, we were given complimentary room upgrades, as well as "Happy Honeymoon" drink vouchers. The most stunning room upgrade we received was from the standard superior room we had booked to a one-bedroom suite on the top floor of the hotel directly overlooking the lake, the town, and the gondola.

Some of the other outstanding planning and execution details that made our trip so smooth and enjoyable included the itinerary app with complete information, suggestions, and directions. We always knew exactly where we were going and what we were doing each day. The private transfers were always early and everything about our trip was booked with 100% accuracy.

There was nothing about it that was within our travel agent's control that was even the slightest disappointment. On the contrary, everything she did for us exceeded our very lofty expectations. We would recommend our tour operator to anyone who is planning a trip to New Zealand.
