A very well organised tour operator, who along with a knowledgeable driver, showed us some amazing sites throughout our trip. The mix of people travelling with us was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed their company. The accommodation provided us with some stunning views. We would certainly look at booking another holiday with Travel Marvel.

We set out to see NZ from top to ...read more bottom and we achieved that, APT and staff did a great job, thank you.
