Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for travelling with us. We are sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly in relation to the level of luxury you anticipated. We appreciate your honesty and understand how disappointing this must have been.
We are, however, delighted to hear your kind words about the on The Road Team. It is encouraging to know that their professionalism, knowledge and care stood out and helped support you throughout the journey. We will certainly ensure your praise is shared with them.
We regret that the hotels and included dinners did not meet an acceptable standard for you, and that the location of some hotels felt inconvenient. Your comments regarding certain excursions, including your experience at the glow worm caves, are also noted with concern, especially where this differed from what you expected.
Please be assured that your feedback is taken seriously and will be shared with our Product and Operations Teams for review. While we are sorry to hear that you would not choose to travel with us again or recommend the experience, we do appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed insight, as this helps us to better understand where improvements are needed.
Thank you once again for travelling with us and for bringing these matters to our attention.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and found the itinerary well-suited to your interests. While there are indeed a number of flights, we agree that this remains the most efficient way to experience the region's highlights.
We are especially pleased that the Travel Director made such a positive impression and that the majority of Local Guides contributed to your enjoyment. Travelling in a small group is something we value highly, and we appreciate your comments on the group sizes and how this shaped your experience.
It is great to know that the included meals were generous and that you didn’t need to pay for many extras. We do understand that altitude sickness can be challenging, and your observation about both the altitude and medication effects is a useful reminder for future travellers.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for travelling with Luxury Gold. We are genuinely sorry to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly given your previous positive experiences with Insight Vacations.
We regret that you felt the tour did not offer the level of value or luxury you anticipated. While the itinerary was designed to provide a balanced pace, we understand your disappointment that certain days, including time in Wellington and the final day, did not feel as enriching as expected. Your comments regarding having to arrange activities independently, as well as your observations about the hotels, are noted with concern.
We are also sorry to hear that visits such as Waitomo Caves and Rotorua did not resonate with you. We appreciate your suggestions regarding alternative experiences, including geothermal attractions or the Hobbiton set, and we understand how important it is that destinations feel meaningful, particularly on a premium tour.
Please be assured that your feedback is extremely valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams for review. Insights such as yours help us to assess our itineraries and inclusions more carefully and ensure they align with the expectations associated with a luxury travel experience.
Once again, thank you for travelling with us and for being open about your experience. We truly regret your disappointment and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.
Great tour director and knowledgeable driver made the most of an agenda they did not create. They really looked after us very well.
