Intro Travel

V was an outstanding group leader—informative, funny, and genuinely great to be around. She shared helpful local insight, kept the group organized, and made every day feel easy and enjoyable. Her humor brought everyone together, and her warm, positive energy made the trip memorable. I always felt comfortable asking questions and appreciated how attentive, patient, and thoughtful she was throughout the entire journey. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt included and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend traveling with V

V was fantastic from day 1, full of energy and always there to help with any issues no matter how big or small. V had fantastic knowledge of the country and all the areas we travelled to, providing recommendations for sightseeing, food and activities all of which were fantastic 😊 V worked her magic with the group helping to make sure everyone was included and had a good time. All the planned activities were very enjoyable and the accommodation was always centrally placed to allow easy travel to all the local sights.

V was an incredible host and made sure that we all had the absolute best time! Yuna, our guide for the DMZ and the first day in Seoul was so informative, professional and lovely, we had a great time in all the locations throughout the trip and enjoyed every activity!
Taekwondo was brilliant, the instructors were very professional and fun.
The temple stay was a surprise, I expected to be a little bored because meditation isn't my thing but the monks were really sweet and made it really easy to enjoy
The food was all amazing
The locations all felt safe, I was walking alone as a solo female without feeling at all threatened or even really alert

I had already done 2 tours with intro so knew I liked meeting new people and having a set itinerary. The nz has one of the highest step counts and several hikes but still doable. Despite the club or bars being empty(on weekdays)Sel imbued us with a great 'bring the party' attitude that never failed to make for a fun night out. Sel was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and literally held my hand on some long bridges I didn't like! (Some activities are a bit more touristy than they may seem, but still fun!)

We spent two weeks travelling around New Zealand, visiting both the North and South Islands, and had an amazing time. There was so much to see and do, from learning about the local culture to enjoying the scenery and trying new activities.

We started on the North Island, visiting Rotorua, where we experienced the geothermal activity, including bubbling mud pools and geysers. We also enjoyed a traditional Māori Hāngī feast and cultural performance, which was a great opportunity to learn more about Māori traditions. Another highlight was visiting Hobbiton in Matamata, which is well worth a visit, even if you’re not a huge Lord of the Rings fan.

We then travelled to the South Island and stayed in Queenstown, one of our favourite places on the trip. There was plenty to do, from jet boating on the Shotover River to taking the gondola and enjoying the views. Queenstown also has a great choice of restaurants, shops and activities.

One of the highlights of the whole holiday was our day trip to Milford Sound. The drive was long, but the scenery along the way made it worthwhile. We took a boat cruise through the fjord, where we saw waterfalls, mountains and seals. It was a fantastic experience and definitely one of the places we’d recommend visiting.

A special mention must go to our tour guide, Sel, who really helped make the trip so enjoyable. Sel was friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to help, sharing interesting information along the way and making sure everyone felt comfortable. Having such a great guide made travelling around the country even more enjoyable and added so much to the overall experience.

The locals were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the importance placed on protecting New Zealand’s beautiful environment.

Overall, New Zealand is a fantastic destination with a great mix of culture, adventure and scenery. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would happily return to explore more. I’d definitely recommend visiting New Zealand, and having a guide like Sel makes the experience even better!
