Adil was a knowledgeable tour guide that shared so many interesting stories and facts about NZ! In addition to the attractions signed up for, he had some great unexpected surprises. The tour itself was great attractions and fulfilled lifelong dream to see Hobbiton. We also experienced the glow worm caves which was an amazing experience!

The expérience was good. The information given by Headout was wrong ( pick up time) and though we received the right information from the local partner, we received a new message this early morning from Headout which was still wrong and confusing. But hopefully we decided to ignore this Headout message. So be consistent ( not saying start at 6 am with a pick up time at 10:30 ) , that would be less stress for your customers.

Our Driver / Guide was fantastic! He always was present and always had an open ear. And he has a huge knowledge about the country and its history! Pick-up was on time and the bus well prepared. Everything was clean, which is very important to me.
