Thank you very much for everything. NZ is truly a beautiful place. I especially apprichate the effort you put into trying to figure-out what we would enjoy more asnd to tailoring the trip towards taht opjective. You were also flexible in the plans we had made towards this object. Thank you for having taken such spendid care of us and for accommodating all our Needs. Nawshir Mirza,Mumbai, India

Thank you, thank you, for planning and taking us on the most wonderful tour imaginable!  I am still singing the praises of our experience! Judith Gartner, Florida, USA 

Thanks Veronika for the great trip we had - absolutely hitch free and worry free. Your working on the itinerary was perfect with a great deal of emphasis on the finer details. Not once did I feel worried. All the others too felt the same way and appreciated your efforts. The hotels/lodges that we stayed in were also perfect. Thanks once again. And yes not to forget Jurgen - he was indeed very good and very co-operative and also full of necessary information. Best wishes, Hope to be in touch. Sudhir Reddy, Hyderabad, India

 

So sad to leave NZ tomorrow.  We had the Best time ever.... thanks to Veronika. Barbara Desfor and Burt Birnbaum, Florida, USA

 

We're back home and into our busy routines but  I wanted to take a minute to let you know how much we enjoyed our time in New Zealand with Jurgen (our only disappointment was that we didn't get to meet you in Taupo - I know you were on the road with another tour.)   New Zealand is a stunning country and I know we were exceptionally lucky with the weather. As I think you are already aware, I found Aroha Tours while searching the internet, and from our initial email correspondence I was confident that you would meet our expectations. You clearly listened to what we were looking for and customized a tour accordingly.  Overall we were very happy with the tour.

Thanks so much for all your help in organizing our tour, Veronika.  We won't hesitate to recommend you to others. Sincerely, Sari Goldenberg, Toronto, Canada

 

First of all I would like to start off by saying that overall our trip was absolutely amazing. We experienced so much and have learned so much about New Zealand. The scenery, the amazing places we stayed and more importantly the people we met were AWESOME. We cannot express how impressed we were by Martin. His expertise, passion for what he does, knowledge and love for this country were expressed each and every day. We felt safe and in good hands at all times. Brandi Hicks, Hawaii

Hi Veronica, We had the best time touring your wonderful country with Jurgen. He was a delight even though he is a flat white addict! Our thought is that we want to come back as soon as we can.  Please pass on our best to Jurgen(all is good!) and thanks for the great trip! Dan A. and April Vossler, President, Central Coast Remedial Resources, Inc. USA

Veronika, Thank you for all of the arrangements you made for us for our recent holiday in your beautiful country of New Zealand.  We had a great time and will cherish the memories of what we experienced. The helicopter flights to White Island and over Fiordland, as well as the Siberia Valley experience were the highlights of the trip.  While the physical beauty of both islands was quite extraordinary, what impressed us even more was the quality of the people of the Kiwis we met during the trip. The accommodations were very, very nice.  We have traveled quite a bit in our lives and visited many countries around the globe.  Prior to this visit we regarded the Mauna Lani hotel on the Big Island of Hawaii as being in a class by itself with regard to the level of customer service provided to guests.  I would have to say that the Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, the Whare Kea Lodge, the Dock Bay Lodge, and the Spire Hotel were all at least the equal of the Mauna Lani, if not even better! We have probably never experienced (nor likely ever will again) the concentration of gourmet meals in one fortnight as we did on the trip -- excellent food with every meal you set up for us.  I suspect the very good seatings we received were due to your influence also!  The drivers who provided transfer services to us were all very professional and interesting, informative, and people-friendly folks.  Special mention is deserved for Jack Tragear.  I must say, he is a very vibrant fellow for his age -- very informative and a sheer pleasure to be around!  We were extremely comfortable with him and never had one awkward moment, which is not an easy thing to accomplish spending all the hours we spent with him in six days of being driven about. Once again thank you very much for all of your efforts in making our visit such a delight.  If I put together a golf trip to New Zealand with some friends sometime in the future, I would certainly like to work with you again. Sincerely, Rob and Shirley Moser, Santa Cruz, California, USA

Dear Veronika, I returned back from Singapore on 11th and have settled down with work.   I am very much grateful to you for making our trip to New Zealand a memorable one. We will always cherish this trip during our lifetime.   Our special thanks to Gibby who made us feel very comfortable during the whole trip and went out of his way to make sure that we enjoyed every moment of our trip.   I can say that you as a Tour Organiser and Gibby as a Tour Guide make a terrific combo.   New Zealand is a God's gift to mankind. Your country is rich in natural resources. I am very much impressed by the way the citizens are taking pains in maintaining the ecology and environment and this is a very good lesson for us to learn to improve the same in our country. Warm regards. Harish & Pallavi Ghandi, Mumbai, India

Dear Veronika! Thank you very much for your care. You are really the best in the industry. And it is not a complement just a fact. You can trust my opinion – almost 7 years I am organizing our tours around the world and have been in contact with so many agenesis, companies and individual tour managers that I have some understanding of the situation. Melissa was fantastic! With best wishes personally to you and Aroha Tours.'  Cordially Igor Chernov, Finland

Our dear Veronika, when we think of our trip to New Zealand at the wheels we have only fond memories of you and about the places we visited with you. The houses we stayed and the ambience of the atmosphere will remain in our memories for long. We are really envious of your country, it is God's own country! With blessing. Dr.M.I & Saramma Joy, India

We are back in India after a great holiday. Thank you for your help. Both Roy and Melissa were faboulous and a pleasure to be with. I do hope that I can come back to NZ...if not with family maybe with some friends. I have still some unfinished busness...as trying to do some of the crazy stuff the Kiwis have invented. Regards, Ajith Pai, India/Singapure

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Neuseeland. Veronika is sehr kompetent, geht sehr gut auf die Gaeste ein, ist eine sehr gute Fahrrerin und hat uns Neuseeland nicht nur von der touristischen Seite vermittelt. Kurt Massuthe & Sylke Hagedorn, Hamburg, Germany
