Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband I have just returned from a fabulous month spent in New Zealand touring both islands with Veronika's company and Jürgen, our excellent guide. This was for my long awaited Sabbatical, so my expectations were very high as I have been planning the trip for the last 12 months with Veronika.
I am pleased to say that what Veronika and my guide organised was beyond my expectations. Jürgen and Veronika took care of everything from activities like nature treks and boat cruises to delicious dinners and winery tours and tastings and even our snacks so we dont starve between meals! The lodges that Veronika booked were each unique and allowed us to meet some amazing people who are ready to share their stunning homes with carefully selected visitors. It was not just an incredible experience to discover and enjoy varied and stunning New Zealand landscapes, but allowed my husband and I to have a very personal experience that was unique and memorable.
If anyone is looking for a carefree experience in New Zealand and highly professional company that really wants your visit to be unforgettable for the right reasons, then I would highly recommend you to go with Veronika and her highly professional team. The cost of the guide is worth every penny/cent by the way.

Veronika really exceeded our expectations! She planned a perfect 2 week first time visit of New Zealand for our family of 5 (3 teen boys). The types of activities that were planned for our family, the upscale accommodations, and the perfect dinner recommendations and reservations really made this trip perfect in every way. Our on site driver and guide, Zuzana, could not be more gracious, helpful, and accommodating. It was a real treat to never have to worry about parking the car, or driving on the wrong side of the road while enjoying the scenery.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Aroha Tours to anyone looking for a perfect New Zealand vacation, and we would definitely use Aroha for our next trip.

My husband and I (aged 86 and 72) contacted Aroha Tours early this year with a view to doing an upper SI trip. Owner, Veronika, visited us and we talked about the sorts of things we like doing and 24 hours later a draft itinerary arrived with options at each stage of where to stay and what to do. She met us at Nelson airport with a luxury Mercedes vehicle and so began a wonderful experience. Some of the places we went we would not have found on our own and there was flexibility each day depending on our energy levels. Veronika's pleasant, warm personality and efficiency made the trip seamless and extremely enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she was completely relaxed about changes in plans as we went. We will do more trips with Aroha Tours, and while at the higher end price-wise, it was fantastic value for money.

It was such a pleasure to tour with you both. I found it quite inspirational to accompany someone from New Zealand that at this age still travels the world (and NZ)

We had another terrific private tour of New Zealand created by Aroha Tours. A few years ago we toured the South Island and this time we traveled around the North Island. We had an excellent driver/guide who told us all about life on the North Island and showed us many spectacular sites. And our nights were spent in some really remarkable lodgings. Aroha Tours selects some beautiful places to stay. We feel that Aroha Tours creates the best possible itineraries and experiences possible and we recommend them most highly.

We would like to thank you for the wonderful experience you have arranged for us, which was a trip with teenagers full of activities, carefully tailored to our needs.
The company, especially Veronica - was able to apply the necessary flexibility according to our specific needs during this trip, while taking care of all other details including transportation, accommodation, attractions and domestic flights as well.
We admire your personal attitude, availability and accessibility with no faults, which is why we would be happy to recommend your services to other friends of ours.

My family and I took a 2 week trip of the Southern Islands with Aroha Tours and it has been one of the best ever, thanks to Aroha. Not only did they develop a wonderful itinerary in consultation with us but their recommendations on choice of accommodation, activities and places to visit was impeccable and that made the entire trip memorable.
New Zealand is an incredibly beautiful place and while it is possible to drive around on your own, engaging the services of a company like Aroha who know all the little gems will take it up several notches. With them executing the itinerary all you need to then do is relax and soak it all in. It is incredibly worthwhile.

We are experienced travelers and cannot recommend Aroha Tours high enough! Veronica gives great attention to detail, is proactive and a great communicator. Our guide was the best guide we’ve ever had in all of our travels. He was knowledgeable about the natural world as well as history and New Zealand. He is very competent , thoughtful, kind, and intuitive. We spent 17 days on the south island and loaded every minute of it. If you’re looking for a great nature experience, don’t hesitate to contact Aroha Tours!

my wife and I are experienced travelers and like to travel either solo or solo with a guide. We definitely like to find unique experiences off the beaten path. We were interested in learning a lot more about NZ wines. And we had heard about the beautiful lodges scattered across the country. Veronika and her staff, with our input, were able to create an individualized program that took us across both the North and South Island and let us experience the wonders of New Zealand and its amazing and friendly people. We had one guide/driver for our entire trip--Jurgen who was a joy to spend time with and fountain of useful information. In any trip of this length and complexity, little things pop up. They are all promptly addressed. I would highly recommend Aroha Tours as an operator if you want an upscale and personalized trip to a wonderful country.

The least we could do is sharing our feedback for the organizer (Aroha Tours) of our greatest family vacation ever.
The memories we treasured are priceless and still it’s the mutual subject in our family (6 members Agee’s from 5 to 45 years) gatherings.
The service throughout the trip (10+ days) always exceeded our expectations. The tour was well detailed by day and by the hour. The conveniency and luxury level was spot on. Personal attention and continues follow ups revealed care and dedication.
Vorinika and the team (including private tour) have made it the BEST trip.
We will never hesitate to ask Aroha Tours to organize our 2ns trip to Kiwi land as soon it opens.

I remember not being your guide. You had Steve looking after you. But I had a chance to enjoy dinner with your family in Rotorua. I always love to learn about our visitor's different cultures; It was beautiful for me to connect with a great family from Saudi Arabia. I will try to make more great memories for you if you ever come back to NZ.

After 12 years we returned to New Zealand and once again Veronika created an incredible 12 day itinerary for us and every aspects of it were beyond our greatest expectations. The sights, food, locations were indeed 5 stars as it was Zusana our guide/driver.
Aroha Tours will be our strongest recommendation to anyone thinking of visiting New Zealand.
