Thrifty Tours New Zealand

"This company is so awful they are a tour company who books another tour company. Incredibly expensive, horrible planning. There is no guide. They don't have their own car service so they make you use random crowded third party services and other 'many' tour companies. The routes and hotels were awful, they upcharge you an insane amount. When they booked us with other third tour companies, I realized that these tour companies provide way more services and are way cheaper!"

"We worked with Thrifty Tours to create the exact itinerary we wanted. Shelley was our agent and she bent over backwards to accommodate all of our requests. She always responded to emails in a timely manner and answered all of my questions. They have an app you can use while travelling that doesn't require wi-fi or data. Your itinerary is at your fingertips, with phone numbers and a chat feature if you need emergency assistance. Our flight to New Zealand was delayed 24 hours, on Easter, but someone from Thrifty Tours was still available to help us rebook and rearrange our itinerary to accommodate our delay. Amazing. I highly recommend Thrifty Tours! They are so easy to work with and will create the tour you want. I will definitely use them again."

"The tour they put together was well organized, however they didn't convey a lot of important information. It was unclear which days included lunch, snacks, tea, etc. The app also said to confirm a cruise we had booked and it was unclear if it was me or Thrifty toura that was responsible for this. Knowing we would be switching buses half way through the day would have also been good to know, and the tour description wasn't entirely accurate."

"Just back from our holiday trip! 10/10 We love the amazing itinerary which was planned for us! Fuss free and is worth every bucks! Thank you to Nichole and Linda for your prompt support and assistance (for our last min requests). Both of you were amazing! Great app, great staff, great company with good partners (Cheeky Kiwi, Cheeky Kea, Glacier Shutters, Hokitika Scenic Tour and the private pick up drivers who were so friendly and professional) Love it!"

"My fiance and I spent three weeks in New Zealand in January 2018, and Salli Smith from Thrifty Tours NZ helped us organize two weeks of that trip. Salli was responsive and offered great suggestions. Our holiday was amazing and everything worked like clockwork. It was a very comfortable way to travel."
