Industry Partners
These Tourism Operators, I have used to deliver quality tours for the past seventeen years. I have a very personal relationship with all of my Operators.
Air New Zealand:
I aim to use Air New Zealand because of their frequency and have 'The right seats for the right Price' for our clients' touring needs. I give groups" The Works" with economy style seating that has movies, games, audio and an in-flight meal.

Accommodation:
We do group tours for adult, Sport, school, music and general educational groups. The hotels we prefer to use for Quality and food standard are very important to us. Position is also important but rarely do we leave you without a coach during the time you are touring. We use mainly 4 star hotels and we use them for school students as well as adults. The difference is we have special arrangements specifically suited to school groups. Most groups stay in twin rooms. Schools stay Multi share which at times is in a 3 bedded or 4 bedded (rarely) room. In New Zealand and Australia our hotels only permit our student groups to sleep 1 person in 1 bed but our rates are such this is very satisfactory for most groups. We aim not to use back-packer or low budget hotels/ motels as they are usually below the standard we prefer for your added comfort and enjoyment when touring.
