This is what I left in the review section when I came back....have a look and see if there are others this was just HKG and NZ...

I have just returned from this tour. There were 31 of us 4 did the extension to Fiji ( I did not ). Age range 40-70, more ladies than men, there were 6 men.

Great holiday stunning views and so much to see and do.

Went on helicopter flight and landed on glacier and walked on the glacier amazing, Jet Boat Ride, was gentle I have to say but fun. Fantastic sights to see, Loved the boat ride on Milford Sound breath taking to be honest.

Weather a odd mix, from wind to very hot to torrential rain and all the rest, you do end up wit 4 seasons in one day, I never did manage to have the correct clothes on.

I and my fellow travellers had a great time on this tour, there are many hours of sitting on a coach or a plane but the journey there is so very worth it. I will never go again and I am glad I made this trip and did all that I wanted to do on this tour.

For anybody that is thinking of going ..BOOK IT you will have a great time

I did this trip, Australia and New Zealand, in March/April this year and it truly was amazing, the trip of a lifetime! For a perfect review of the Australian part, see Ivy Bember's review on the Reviews page - she captures it exactly, and the New Zealand trip is well described by Cindy, below.

Just bear in mind that they are both quite different holidays - different Tour Manager and, apart from 4 others who were in Australia with me, a new crowd to get to know. Having bonded with the Oz travellers for 3 weeks, it could be tricky enough starting off again with a new group, but it worked out okay for me as they were all really nice people and good fun, and both Tour Managers (Sarah Wrightson and Brian Croft) were brilliant.

Also, having travelled extensively in Australia for 3 weeks, I was pretty tired on arrival in NZ and facing into lots more long journeys, so please bear that in mind. I suppose if I had to make the decision all over again, I would have done the two bits separately as I did not find the flights a problem and think I would have appreciated NZ more. Still, I did have a wonderful time all round!

That's just my experience, so if you feel like going for both at the same time then good luck and enjoy!!

Hi - my name is Chris and I am a new Just You and single traveller. My partner died 3 years ago and I have only been on holiday with family and friends since then. Looking to branch out on my own (for the first time at 62) to far flung places and looking to book this tour for January 2015. Just wondering if anyone else has been or is thinking of booking the same tour.

I have just come back from Australia not with this tour operator as I didn't know this was on here then but I had an amazing time....it was that good ive been sad ever since....just want to go back again.............Andrea

Hi again Chris, just to let you know that I have booked this holiday with the Dubai stopover. Best wishes, Marion

Hi Marion - so sorry only just got back to this site. Left it too late and now the trip is fully booked! My own fault - could kick myself! May do Hong Kong and NZ instead. Am on waiting list for Oz and NZ so may see you yet. Hope you have a fantastic time. Best wishes.
