Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We enjoyed our 20 day holiday in New Zealand, exploring both islands, and savouring every moment! We had discussed our interests with our travel agent, and she planned a perfect itinerary for us. Our holiday combined a number of self drive days with a bus tour, from Auckland to Rotorua, the TransAlpine train, and an overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound, and many day and half day tours with excellent guides along the way. The accomodation was always very special, a cottage at a winery, historic or boutique hotels, B&B's, and lodges, it seemed to be chosen just for us. And the best thing about Zicasso, and our tour company, is that our trip was custom planned for our interests, budget, and time allowance. We do appreciate the personal service, and can't imagine planning a holiday any other way!

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Every day was memorable, and the wonderful people that we met along the way will always be a part of our story about New Zealand. The lady in the hotel cafe who told us to come for breakfast at 6 if we needed an early start, Ceillhe who made a special trip to pick us up because of a traffic problem, Tessa who found a farm store for us to buy a Swandri, Shaloh who visited with us and shared stories about the Maori, and those are just a few of the special moments in the North Island!

Your overall comments about Zicasso:

I think Zicasso is a great service. We found that when we went to Africa, the guides we met knew Raza and wanted to make him happy, and in New Zealand, our travel agent is known by most people, and very well respected. It seems that we are welcomed as her friend. The whole experience becomes very personal! Thanks! Amanda
