What travelers are saying

"Geoff helped my wife and I to put together an itinerary that customized to our particular interests and preferences. At the outset he asked us where we'd like to go and, after a small number of iterations, together we were able able to craft an itinerary that met our budget, touched on much of the places we wanted, and did not have us staying at a different resort each night. Before leaving for our trip we were given our itinerary and confirmation #'s/vouchers/contact #'s for all of our activities and hotels captured in an easy-to-use app that made it extremely easy to transition to the next point of our journey. He and his assistant were quick to respond to any questions we had along the way as well. Overall, we had a great stay and highly endorse Geoff and RealNZ for anyone planning a bespoke trip to NZ."

What travelers are saying

"Overall, The Shogun Trail tour was excellent, contrasting the busy cities with the more rural Japan in the Hirado area. We used a variety of transport including, boat, bullet train, trams and local buses as well as private buses. It allowed us to experience a wide variety of Japanese culture. Our tour leader, Karique, was fantastic and went above and beyond the call of duty when arranging things for our group. He was friendly and knowledgeable about all things Japanese - he felt more like a friend than a tour leader! The accommodation on the tour was generally ok - the hotel rooms were very small with little or no storage, which meant that we had to live out of our suitcases for virtually the whole trip. This may be just how Japanese hotel rooms are though! The ryokan in Hakone was great - a real highlight of the tour, and the Japanese owners there were lovely!"

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"
