What do our clients say about us?
Here a few of the comments we have received recently. This section is constantly changing so come back again soon. All comments below are unsolicited.
It is now three weeks since we returned from our trip to Australia and New Zealand. We had a wonderful time for the whole month that we were away and a holiday never to be forgotten supported by the hundreds of photographs we took. We did not fill the end of tour questionaire and for that I should like to apologise. However the tour "Trains Fiords and Glaciers" was superb and went very smoothly from the time A2B Limousines met us at Christchurch Airport on 01 August to the time they returned us to the airport on 08 August. Every thing went like clockwork which impressed us and is a credit to NZ tourism, to you and your company. We would not hesitate in recommending this website and company to any of our friends who may be considering a trip to Australia or New Zealand.
David and Libby Hutt (UK)
We have been in the US for a few days and are settled into our everyday life. I just wanted to let you that we had a wonderful experience in NZ. The weather contributed considerably to show New Zealand at its best. The schedule could not have been bettered. Thanks for your all your help. The personal touch made it so much easier to deal with this trip. Having you as a contact person was invaluable. We appreciated your prompt responses to our inquiries. Again, thank you. We had a wonderful time and can recommend you to everybody willing to listen.
Josef and Marilyn Schmee (USA)
Just to let you know that our holiday went extremely well. The Southern Highlights tour
that you had arranged for us was excellent and all the arrangements
fell into place. We would certainly recommend your services to anyone
we know who intends to visit. Thank you.
Lorna and David Pollock (UK)
Hi, Arrived home after a fantastic trip. The tour operator ATT Kings were excellent, as was the standard of accommodation. Our courier Alan and driver Paul made this trip a wonderful experience. We will not forget New Zealand, the sites the friendly people and the stunning scenery. Once again our thanks for all the arrangements running like clockwork.
Brian & Sylvia (UK)
We have just returned from New Zealand, having travelled on the AAT King tour 'Best of New Zealand', arranged through yourselves. I would just like to say we had a wonderful time and hope it won't be too long before we can return. We were impressed by every aspect of the tour, and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. I almost gave up hope of meeting a grumpy kiwi but finally managed at Auckland airport in the person of the lady taking my departure tax! Even the weather was good throughout. While you were having rain for Waitangi Day we had sunshine in the South Island. Thank you again, best wishes.
John & Stephane Mowbray (UK)
Just let you know now we are back in the UK how much we enjoyed the short tour(s) you had arranged for us. Everything worked out just fine although one or two of the start times seemed a little early! Both hotels we stayed in were very good and the Sudima at Rotorua was outstanding. The included excursions were without exception interesting and enjoyable.
Derek & June Varley (UK)
No mistake this time with the photo I just wanted to thank you both for your kind attention to us regarding our NZ holiday, we were pleased to do business with you and say thank you , it has been a pleasure. See you next time
Eric & Gloria Mc Mullen (Australia)
Just a quick note to thank Relaxing Journeys for a
wonderful trip on 20 Jan-6 Feb. It more than lived up to expectations
and will be remembered for many years to come! Ian on South Island and Cam on North Island were
both delightful and excellent guides.
Anne McSweeney (UK)
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help in finding us a really
enjoyable tour with Kirra. We had a great time and the whole visit was
unforgettable.
Pam Horne (UK)
I know I said you would not hear from me again but I had to email you to thank you for the wonderful trip you organised for us. Words cannot describe the friendliness we encountered both on our tour and also the people we met. Your country is beautiful. Every day I left the hotel to travel around the country I thought nothing can top the previous day but each day seemed to be better than the last. Being Irish I have always heard about the hospitality of the Irish but in my opinion no country could compete with New Zealand when it comes to hospitality. Everything on the tour that could be done was, and no hassle booking in or out of hotels. For me and my sister Anne it was definitely the best holiday we ever had. Our trip ended with the beautiful wedding of my niece on Waiheke Island and my son came from Australia and liked the country so much is going to apply for a visa to work. Once again thank you very much for all your help. You may hear from me again because I would love to go back to your country.
Eileen Lee & Anne Brady (Ireland)
Firstly to say congratulations for putting on such a great tour. Kerry's
wealth of knowledge and stories kept us informed and entertained and well
worth the sometimes early starts. It was a great way to see New Zealand for the first time and it certainly lived up to its reputation. Well done all.
Cuffie Family (USA)
I had a great time in New Zealand. All the arrangements went like clockwork.
Will definitely recommend you to anyone that wants to travel to New Zealand.
Thanks.
Ian Clark & Gertrud Klaiber (UK)
Just to let you know the self drive itinerary that you arranged for us went like clockwork. At every point, things were taken care of and the voucher system worked perfectly. Our problem was we didn’t have enough time to do all the things that NZ has to offer. Anyway we want to thank you for a good job and wish you a very Happy New Year
Bill Hill and Lam King Yue (Hong Kong)
Just wanted to send you a note thanking you for your assistance in planning my trip in December. The trip went really well and I was blessed with great weather almost the entire trip. I was really impressed with your country and hope to visit again in the future. Take care and Happy New Year.
Gregg Waligroski (USA)
Well, back from “down under” yesterday after a 25 hour flight! We wish to inform you that we had an excellent time in New Zealand and thank you so much for all your professional arrangements transfer and tour arrangements, which worked out perfectly! New Zealand is an extremely beautiful country and you must feel very lucky living there!
Chris Panagiotopoulos (Greece)
Just to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday that will live with us
for a long time. We met some really friendly people, saw some amazing
scenery and ate too many gorgeous meals! Thanks for all your help- the
arrangements were excellent and all the motels were expecting us, which is
always a relief! Shame about the rain but we are used to that! Fortunately
the last week in the North Island was warm and sunny- it was weird for us to
see all the Christmas decorations out when the sun was shining- you've got
it all wrong it should be cold and dreary! Our favourite places- hard to
say but Te Anau and the Coromandel region stick out- but then again the
Glaciers were awesome. We would recommend your organisation to anyone wishing a relaxing
holiday.
Amanda and Denis Horlor (UK)
We have just returned home after our NZ holiday and I just wanted to say how
much my Mum and I enjoyed the Lakeland tour that you organised for us. Apart from a wet start in Christchurch/Dunedin we were very fortunate with
the weather on the Milford Sound and through to Mount Cook and we saw some
truly awesome scenery. We were also really pleased with how smoothly everything went, given there
were so many change overs and pick ups. The whole thing was handled very
professionally and I would certainly recommend your company to others. Thank you for a very enjoyable South Island tour.
Clare Lunn (UK)
We would like make some comments on our recent trip with you. We did the 15
day New Zealand Highlights - New Zealand Self Drive Holiday. The experience you provided us with seeing your country was the very best, a
5 star trip. The whole trip was excellent. We have only been back less
then 2 weeks but we have already told many people that if they plan to travel to New
Zealand, this was the way to go with a first class operation all the way.
The accommodations were way beyond what we thought we were
going to get. They were all spotlessly clean. The value of the accommodations were way beyond what we
thought we were getting, we would rate you a 10. We have already recommended to friends and family and colleagues if you
go to New Zealand you need to go with your group. We've given copies of trip
plans that you gave us to people to show how excellent a job you do. The ferry between the north and south island was a great experience and
thank you for putting the Tranz-Alpine train on the tour. It was a must do
item. Thanks again
Wayne and Doris Albrecht (USA)
Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to New
Zealand, the accommodations were the best, and every room had the best
views. We will certainly recommend you to all our friends.
Thanks again,
Sharon and Dave Dowell (USA)
Remember me and all the trouble we were! I would just like to thank you.
We had a wonderful time on our trip all great. Only thing was we wanted to
stop everywhere, a bit hard to do on a tour bus. However, we had a chance
to do that in the North Island. You were right, it was a bit of a quick
trip around, but we managed to see much, and it just whetted our appetite to
return. the country has it all.
Thanks again.
Bev Fewster (Australia)
I just wanted to say how good your website is. It's packed with lots of
information and is very user friendly. I like to look at every detail ( What
the hotels are like etc etc) everything I have been looking for is all
there. It's brilliant and that includes the photo's too!!
Diane Fletcher (UK)
I would like to thank you for all the help you gave to Ross in booking our tour of New Zealand, 1st to 11th October. Everything turned out better than we could have expected. A very good tour of your beautiful country. We both really enjoy the experience and would not hesitate to book with you again. Many thanks.
Kelvin and Linda Hobbs (UK)
We have been back home for a couple of weeks now and Tom and I just wanted to thank you for arranging such a great holiday. We had a fantastic time - New Zealand is like it was here about 35 years ago!
Caroline Read (UK)
I just wanted to let you know that my wife and daughter, Hiromi and Nozomi
Nakamura had a wonderful time in New Zealand. If there is another chance,
I am sure I will try some of your other tours. Thanks.
Mo (Japan)
We are still getting back so to speak, from our fantastic vacation. Our trip to New Zealand left us wanting to move there! Just loved it and all the spots you chose for us to visit. Thank you for all your good planning. Everything went smoothly and everyone was so gracious. The only comment I would have is the accommodation in Lake Taupo though adequate, was not up to the standard of the other places we stayed. As it turned out, I was glad we had the extra day I Christchurch. We would have missed a lovely town otherwise. I thought this was a once in a lifetime trip, but we will be back. Thanks again.
Judith & David Simonson (USA)
Thank you. We had a great time on the Gourmet Tour. We plan to come back in the next three years. You provided us with superior service. Thank you again
Floyd Brock (USA)
New Zealand is one of the best countries we have ever visited. The country is truly beautiful, the facilities are great, and the people are the most genuine, friendly and warm we have ever met in the world. Keep up the marvellous work & thank you
Mr & Mrs J Douthwaite (Australia)
Ian was a most outstanding, knowledgeable, courteous & personable tour host. We recommend him most highly
Mr & Mrs J Champlain (USA)
We have recently returned home from a memorable world tour. Our visit to many countries around the world, will forever hold wonderful memories of the sights we seen and the people we met. Our visit to New Zealand was made very special by the professionalism of our coach driver Alan and Tessa our tour guide to Rotorua. Nothing was to much trouble for Alan and the knowledge of Tessa during our excursion to the Maori land was fascinating. Craig on behalf of my party I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for making our stay in New Zealand so special. One day we hope to visit your country again and if so I will certainly look you up for further assistance. Best of luck in the Tri-Nations
Allan Evans (UK)
"We enjoyed Craig's commentary. The hotels were good. The company was good and we had a wonderful time because of the care & preparation done by Craig who was a superb host. We all missed him at the end of the trip."
Mr and Mrs Wright (UK)
Craig is brilliant, he made our holiday! 11/10 The best holiday of our lives.
Mr and Mrs Pearce (UK)
10/10, thank you for providing a marvellous tour, full of variety and unexpected delights.
Mr and Mrs Henderson (UK)
Just a quick line to say thank you so much for making our holiday so enjoyable. We arrived home on Sunday morning but are just coming down to earth. We had a fantastic holiday and it would have been hard to choose more diverse places than we did so we enjoyed each place in a different way which was good. After some serious consideration NZ won hands down as our favourite time so thanks again. I have been singing your praises around the world and even to a lady from Auckland that we met in OZ. She took your address because she thought it would be great to send visiting relatives off with you for part of their holiday, so she may get in touch. Jean has been in touch and sent some photos and I have written back to her. We were like lost sheep on the morning that you left. Everyone was sad. Thanks once again. We had a wonderful time. Have a Happy Christmas and New Year.
Barbara and Peter
Thank you so much for the photos - all safely retrieved and looking good (who's that woman with the big bum?). Seriously, we love them and they brought back so many happy memories. We'll print them off for our album. Yes, the weather here is bloomin' awful - grey, damp and lights on at 3pm (sometimes sooner) - so we're thinking longingly of NZ and the lovely sunshine. Glad to know you're well and pleased to say that we are fine too. Christmas is fast approaching and I'm almost there with the shopping etc - just got to wrap everything now. Might need to some red wine to keep me going.............. Have a super Christmas and a really happy New Year. Thanks again for the photos and for being such a fun tour guide. We won't forget you, you can bet on that. All the very best
Frankie and Brian
Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time, everything ran smoothly and your service was highly appreciated. Your driver met us when required both times, was very generous and accepting of our aussie humour and was extremely professional throughout. If we come back I will not hesitate to utilise your services again.
Sydney Con Chamber Choir (Australia)
Thanks to Relaxing Journeys, great weather, wonderful scenery & sights, friendly people and service everywhere, fantastic experiences (like jet boating, helicopter flights, etc, etc), we now have memories that will stay with us forever.
Mr & Mrs J Harris (UK)
We have travelled extensively in other countries and never had a better trip. New Zealand is a beautiful country & you showed us the best
Mr & Mrs D Tewkesbury (USA)
The holiday ran very smoothly, was well organised & we very much liked our travelling companions. Graham (tour host) is a gem!.
Mr & Mrs P Radcliffe (UK)
We would rate Graham as among the best tour guides that we have had. Overall we rate our trip 9 out of 10 (versus recent holidays in China, Peru, Brazil, Spain & India)
Mr & Mrs J Price (UK)
10 out of 10 … we can not fault it! Very many thanks
Mr & Mrs J Brittain-Long (UK)
Everything about your tour was first-rate. The small size of the group, the wonderful people we met, the sights, the accommodations were all spectacular. Everything went off without a hitch. From our arrival to departure, we were treated as individuals & not members of a group. Thanks again for making our trip so enjoyable.
Mr & Mrs T Geller, California, USA
