I can't recommend this experience highly enough. From the last minute booking decision (day before!) to the excellent communication and correspondence from the office team. Our driver went above and beyond to accommodate a couple of wish list items and was our absolute hero all day. He was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable and the best possible personality match for my son and I. Also a skilled driver, very important because we travelled quite a distance, not to mention able to keep us on track in a very pleasant way despite the multiple distractions. None of my Auckland friends knew this tour could even be done in day! Worth every penny and a memory we will cherish forever.

Let’s start at the beginning with the person who helped me with my booking Karthik Subramanian-Managing Director, ExperienceKart Tours New Zealand. What an amazing person so absolutely knowledgeable and patient. Went to great length to help. I’m coming from the USA so I had limited knowledge of the area and I was walked step by step in everything. I’m so grateful to Karthik and my experience was amazing because of and starting with Karthik… AMAZING EMPLOYEE! If every business had a Karthik the world would be amazing!!
