Testimonials

Our first experience with Travelwise and we were very happy with it ... we will definitely consider future tours. Unna was wonderful - very personable and well organised.

‍

It was truly a fantastic trip in every aspect. The small group was wonderful! Pam was a wonderful tour leader - friendly, happy and caring. It was definitely full on with lots of walking, steps and long days. It all came together like clockwork, amazing really! Loved it!

Sharon is a brilliant communicator! Everyone was kept up to date with times, experiences, expectations, very patient.

This was our first group tour and we loved it.

‍

The itinerary was perfect, allowing rest days. Catherine was calm and diplomatic and that helped me enjoy the tour stress free. The detail Travelwise included in the tour made this a holiday to remember so that all I had to do was enjoy the experience.

I am so pleased and happy with the recent tour of Great Britain & Ireland. Tour leader, Catherine, was wonderful and with the rest of us, made it a great little family.  I hope this tour can happen again.

Memories are treasures! We have made many on this adventurous and exciting journey. Your experience, sense of humour and ability to navigate through challenging issues and the work behind the scenes, without being in people's faces, was so professional. From the bottom of our hearts thank you.

Thank you so much for leading such a great holiday. Now safely home and reality has set in!

Thanks for an incredible trip and great company.

I have just downloaded all my photos on WhatsApp. What an amazing record of unforgettable experiences with an awesome group lead by you and Wink. It is a holiday I will never forget. Thank you once again. Arohanui.

Excellent tour and a delight to see Unna again.

After experiencing two tours with Travelwise Holidays I would be loathe to travel with any other company. The communication at all times was great. A special shout out to Bernadette our driver - she went over and above all expectations!!

Our Tour Leader and Driver went above and beyond in their helpfulness, pleasantness and making the tour enjoyable.They were a great combo. Would travel with them anywhere!

The trio of Unna, Muriel and Ian were excellent. We had lots of laughs and Muriel's knowledge of Tassie was great. We were welcomed each morning by your trio Unna, Muriel and Ian's smiles. :)

John and I would like to say a big thank you to our tour leader Thelma and tour driver Bernie. They were so good organising us all and a delight to be with.  Thank you for your great service

Overall Gary and I were very pleased with the whole trip. All fellow passengers were friendly and respectful. Both the Tour Leader and the Driver were excellent, friendly and caring. We'll be back.

We have done 5 or 6 Tours with Travelwise Holidays and they are really good to travel with. We have been away with Pam before who is a great Team Leader.

Thank you for a great holiday, great accommodation, good food and Des was an excellent driver and made and excellent team with Noeleen.

We can't fault our guide or driver. They were both very caring and were there when Herb needed help.

Thank you for a lovely few days. Safe driving on rugged roads in a comfortable coach. Was interested to see how people live in isolated places and the different landscapes NZ has.

Could not have faulted any of the care and attention from hotel accommodation and staff. Food from all venues extremely good and the staff were very polite and attentive. Our Tour Leader Pam was lovely, kind, very efficient and nothing was too much trouble.

Just everything was so good, grateful, thanks to our Tour Leader Pam, drivers and hosts.

This was my first ever group tour and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed having everything organised for me in a capable and friendly way. I can't speak highly enough of our Tour Leader Unna, who was very caring and also our Tour Driver was extremely good and very knowledgeable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, organisation excellent, the variation of locations and unexpected stops on the way to view interesting sights. Shirley was caring and most helpful.

The food was excellent everywhere we went - we had a great Tour Leader and lovely group to travel with - very enjoyable experience. Thank you.

have always been impressed with Travelwise Holidays. Your tours are well thought out and your Tour Leaders are wonderful. Thank you.‍

Thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of the Red Centre Rail Tour. Darwin to Adelaide on the Ghan is definitely the best way to go rather than the other way. Our Tour Leader Linda was great, very approachable, kept everyone in the loop, it's been an absolute joy to travel with her.

This tour more than met our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie of the group and Linda's professional help. It truly was most memorable and we plan to tell our friends all about it.

Just wanted to thank you all at Travelwise for the lovely wedding anniversary card. We also want to thank you for the wonderful trip you organised, we have not done much overseas travel but after this trip we plan to do more. Linda is a wonderful Tour Leader. Thanks again.

A big thank you to our Tour Leader, Unna, for the way she looked after our group on the Majestic Princess and in Shanghai. She went far beyond the call of duty sometimes and I think Travelwise are lucky to have her. I enjoyed being able to 'go with the flow' and not have to think of the details. Very best wishes for future trips.

We had a wonderful trip and great credit to Travelwise for arranging the tour as they have done. This was the best time we have ever had away, all attributed to the detail in the itinerary and Pam's skill as a tour leader. It was well balanced and serendipitous which makes for a great adventure, so thanks ever so much for inviting us to join the group.

Loved it all, a good group to travel with. A very good Tour Leader. Each day was different which made for a good holiday. I think for me there was a highlight every day. Thank you.

Firstly, let me say that we had a wonderful holiday for our Mid Xmas Trip. A huge thanks to everyone especially our tour guide Jude and our coach driver, they were both first class. Everything was so well organised and the service we got was superb. I have told many people about it and they are amazed. I am passing on brochures to some friends who are interested in what you do.

Wonderful tour. Superb hospitality. Linda was a great leader. Never intrusive but there if you needed her. Love to travel with her again.

Unna was top class as Tour Leader, we couldn't have asked for better. The driver was also one of the best that we have had. A well planned tour. Thanks!

Pam was exceptionally thoughtful and alert to assist many health issues. A simply fabulous tour, from start to finish. Loved every moment!I have travelled on numerous tours and Travelwise had a great balance of activities and leisure time! Top Marks!

Wonderful group - absolutely memorable holiday. We covered so much but at no time was there pressure probably because we were so well informed about what happens next.

Just wanted to let you know how great the Central Otago tour was. Loved every day, so thank you for putting it all together. Unna was an excellent guide and Dave, our bus driver, was so skilled and knowledgeable. I will definitely be travelling with Travelwise again.

Once again, Travelwise Holidays, well done from me 10/10. The coverage of the region and the stops along the way rounded the tour off to perfection.

You always do an excellent job. I appreciate all you do and understand how much work goes into each tour. Thank you for all the joy your tours give me. We were a happy group.

The best group ever. New venues to see and visit. All excellent. I have been to four Art Decos at Napier - this was the best. Thanks also to our Tour Leader Shirley!

I had a wonderful time. My first trip by myself and out of the my comfort zone, but I need not have worried. Straight away I felt welcome with everyone. Tour Leader Pam could not have done anymore, she was awesome. The bus driver was great too, he was so knowledgeable. We saw lots of things, everyone got on with everyone.

Pam handled difficult situations. She was bright, breezy and well organised. Bernie our driver was brilliant. I cannot repeat often enough about how well Pam handled her diverse group of people.
