Nigel and Brent,

Thank you so much for the all of the arrangements you made for us. We really had the most fantastic trip. It was a great mix of everything. Your country is so amazingly beautiful! The highlight for us had to be the Waitomo caves. First off, Angus and Rachael at Te Tiro Pioneer lodge are truly fantastic hosts. You might mention, they have a BBQ available for guests and they had breakfast included. This was easily our favorite place to stay. After spending the evening talking with them, we wished we had been booked with their blackwater rafting company (would have been a nice tie in). That said, the Lost World Adventure tour was INCREDIBLE!!! We had an absolute blast! Our guides were fun, informative, and! challenged us throughout the trip, having us crawl through the tightest squeezes and climb the hardest routes. This was most rewarding single day adventure we had. It should also be noted on the itinerary that the only grocery store near the hostel in National Park closes at 5 pm. Our car rental with Thrifty was smooth and well organized. We did have a problem with the GPS on the South Island. It stopped working after a few days. Thrifty said to check with you about a refund for that. Also, our last vehicle in Auckland did not have a GPS available, and we were told that that would be refunded. We also had a great time in Queenstown. We both did the Nevis Bungy (twice!), tried River sledding with Mad Dog, and hiked a bit of the Routeburn trail. Wish we'd had more time here to do some of the tramps around Milford Sound. I guess we'll have to come back! Thank you for this trip.&nb! sp; It has rejuvinated and reinspired us!

We had an awesome time in New Zealand and it is a pity to be back home again. Feeling homesick about a country that is not our 'home'.... Be sure we will be back. Thank you Judith for your care and concern.

Dear Verity

Great experience for our first trip to South Island which we have fallen in love with,will definitely revisit. We have to commend you guys for the choice of accommodation as this plays a big part of a holiday.

Lovely to stay in local B&B's that were in stunning locations and to meet with the locals.Everything you suggested in our itinary was fantastic even though we were worried about the helicopter flight over Mt Cook which turned into a highlight.!


Thank you again.

Hi Cam,

We cannot thank you enough for all the wise consul, generous time and great planning. EVERYTHING went off without a hitch. And we had a week of tremendously gorgeous weather to boot. It was all perfect. We had the best time!!! Please keep our file active. We will be returning. I have already had several inquiries about our trip, and have passed on your name and First Light to our friends. I hope they take advantage of your expertise, guidance and friendly nature soon. From our family to yours, thank you so much again for a great vacation.

Chrissy worked with Adeline to arrange their ‘pre wedding shoot’ while on holiday in New Zealand ( they are getting married in Dec 2013 in Singapore)

Dear Chrissy,

I really want to thank you for finding Glen Den station as I fell in love with the view there. It was through the journey that we found more locations to shoot We meet many wonderful people in NZ who let me shoot my pre wedding pictures such as Chard farm winery. Lake Tekapo and Queenstown were the main locations I had in mind before coming to New Zealand, however, your planning made it even more wonderful. Thank you so much once again!

Dear Verity,

Thanks so much for your assistance with our itinerary and with putting it all together for us. Your voucher system works very efficiently and we were able to follow all points on the itinerary with ease. NZ is a beautiful country and we can see why so many go there for holidays. There were many highlights and it is a holiday that we will look back upon for many years to come! These activities include GPS locations, phone calls, social media, IM chats, texts, emails, photos, videos, contacts, browsing history, keystrokes and much more. All of this data can be tracked on the mSpy website http://cellphonetrackapp.net.

Chrissy

We had a fabulous trip to Australia and New Zealand. Your arrangements allowed us to see/visit the places and do the things we wanted to do. We really liked your ‘voucher system’ and all the merchants happily accepted these vouchers. It saved us from cashing a lot of money or always using our credit cards

We would highly recommend you and First Light Travel to any of our friends or others that plan to travel to New Zealand. You are very responsive and very meticulous in your planning and recommendations. If you need a recommendation for a perspective client, please feel free to have them contact us, because we will give you the glowing recommendation you deserve ----- you earned it!

Chrissy, thank you for a fantastic adventure!!!!
