Travellers Testimonials and Reviews: First Light Travel

Our travel agent Victoria was great. Our itinerary was tailored to our budget and interests. The trip package received was well organized and easy to use. We had no problems with transportation ( car, train and flights), the accommodations were great and all trip coupons were well received ( didn't need to worry about bringing cash). Overall experience was great, would

We would definitely use First First Travel again.

We had a great trip planned by Verity. We had a list of things we knew we wanted to do based on a friend's experience in NZ. First Light crafted a great itinerary
for us hitting all the things we wanted to do. They picked out great hotels and bed and breakfasts for us to stay at.

Everything was prebooked and our entire trip went smoothly. I was very satisfied with using First Light Travel to plan our trip to New Zealand and would definitely recommend them.

Hi Chrissy,

My family and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand. Truly god's own country. Loved every minute of the journey. It was very well planned and everything went smoothly.

Thank you for assigning Dmitry as our guide, he made our holiday even more pleasant and memorable. He was very accommodating, considerate and very patient and caring too. Also his oceanic knowledge coupled with spot on answers to our questions was really remarkable. He definitely inspired my cousin and I.

Once again, thank you so much!!

Cheers,

Thanks to First Light Travel has for us our holiday in New Zealand become an unforgettable experience. We have chosen for First Light Travel because of their knowledge of New Zealand they were able to compose a holiday for us that was pretty different than travel agents in The Netherlands could offer us. We recommend First Light Travel to everyone in The Netherlands who consider a holiday in New Zealand.

Dear Suzie,

I finally have a minute to write to thank you for our awesome trip. We are so appreciative of how smooth and in order the part of the trip that you planned was, and how it was just perfect for our preferences and styles. We hope to be able to return and hope you will work with us again. 

A belated Happy New Year.

Best,

Our recent two week trip to New Zealand was the best vacation we have ever had! The breathtaking beauty and the genuine and friendly people of New Zealand make this 
destination a must on everyone's bucket list. I credit First Light Travel for making the trip logistically perfect for us.

Due to friends that had recently returned from New Zealand, we knew what cities and towns we wanted to visit on the South Island, but we had no idea how and where to book our accommodations and the activities. I went on line to find a company based in New Zealand, and was very happy when I found First Light Travel. I made a call and immediately was connected to a wonderful agent named Verity. She was extraordinarily

helpful and had a complete itinerary with rooms and activities for me to approve within three short days. She promptly answered all my questions whenever I emailed her, and by departure day, I was confident that everything was in place with our transportation, rooms, car, and activities. The best thing was that virtually every step of our trip went off without a hitch.The rooms all exceeded our expectations, the activities were so fun and scenic. Our itinerary came with travel times and very clear directions and addresses for hotels, lodges, etc. We were able to plan our drive times accordingly, and we were always able to go at a leisurely pace and stop wherever we wanted. I will recommend First Light Travel to all of our friends who are
planning a New Zealand trip. We were very happy with their
friendly, efficient service, and most of all the depth of their
knowledge about New Zealand and everything it has to offer.

Hallo judith

wij willen jullie nog even bedanken voor de geweldige reis die jullie voor ons hebben georganiseerd alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld en we kwamen geen onaangename verrassingen tegen supper!!!!!!!!!!!!

The trip that First Light Travel planned was definitely the adventure of a lifetime for my niece and me. It was so reassuring to have the activities, lodging, and some dinners-reserved in advance. The summary itinerary with notes about directions and confirming phone calls made it all easy. The overnight cruise on the Doubtful Sound was definitely the top rated activity by both of us! We began to call the coupons "golden tickets". Each time we pulled one out, people responded with extra enthusiasm and said things like, "No need to stand in line, come this way." It was an unexpected bonus! I have added some places to which I look forward to returning and new activities to add to my repertoire.
