Many thanks (and very much appreciated) to Ray for this comment written on a post during our recent Mid Winter Christmas Tour 🤗
Of course if we wrote comments about our customers they would be amazing ones as well.

Carol and Dave were amazing: everything beautifully organised and always a great plan B when plan A didn't work out.
The food was fabulous, the accommodation extremely comfortable and all of the visits were enthralling.
Dave is a very experienced and excellent driver, and made sure that all of our travel was comfortable and safe.
As an added bonus, all of the people on the trip were really nice and compatible.
An outstanding short vacation, and one for the record books.
Well done, Carol and Dave!

We have all enjoyed being in Greytown for the last few days of their Christmas festival. We visited Miltary history, quaint church, Stonehenge Aotearoa, Leafyridge Olives, heritage NZ houses 1860-1960.
Dined at Solway Park, Mother Goose, Lake Ferry Hotel, Baloos, Martinborough Hotel, Woolshed Cafe.
Many thanks from Dave and Carol to a fantastic, friendly group

The showers held off (just) for our Stonehenge Aotearoa visit this morning and even though there was rain off and on in evening it didn't stop the fireworks and people's enthusiasm
