Our party of 4 (two sisters + spouses) worked with Aroha Tours to plan a dream trip of our lifetime to New Zealand. We were not disappointed! We told Veronica what was important for us to see and visit and she also made a few brilliant suggestions. We opted for a driver (whom Veronica personally picked for us) who drove our party from Auckland all the way down to Queenstown who added to our experience with his many insights to not only the sights we visited but also the history, culture, and politics of New Zealand. A much better experience and not much more cost than arranging one of those bus tours crowded with other tourists! Of course, we absolutely fell in love with New Zealand even wondering when we could come back again. Probably the BEST VACATION we have had to date. Because we had a driver and an itinerary all planned out by Aroha Tours, we didn't have any worries other than to have our bags packed and ready to take off to our next destination. Every detail was taken care of so we could truly just relax and enjoy our vacation trip. We experienced places we would never had personally discovered on our own and were delighted with everything we saw and everyone we met (innkeepers, etc.). Can't wait to plan another trip soon!!!

We visited the North Island of New Zealand in July 2019 during their winter. In the planning stages, I looked up google for a private tour that would cover our travel days, and wrote to 2 or 3 which seemed to offer the kind of all-inclusive tour that we were interested in. Veronika Vermuelen of Aroha Tours replied to us promptly and was up front with all the arrangements. Based on few questions about our travel preferences, she suggested an itinerary. I have to say that the itinerary she suggested pretty much covered everything I was hoping to do in 6 days in New Zealand. We booked our tickets, and that was all we had to do! From pick up from the airport to drop off at the airport and everything in between was seamlessly arranged by Veronika and her team. Our driver guide throughout the tour was David Duncan who has the distinction of being a child actor, and having appeared in all three Lord of the Rings movies. By the end of the trip, he was more like a close friend than a guide (so much so that we extended him a standing invitation to visit us in the US whenever he wished). The hotels we stayed at (Sebel Auckland Viaduct Harbour, Marina Park Apartments, Regent of Rotorua, The Reef Resort Motel, and the Novotel Auckland Airport) were all luxurious and met our expectations to the fullest. The activities that Veronika suggested for us which we blindly trusted (Sea Cave Adventures cruise, visit to the Lost Spring and Spa, Te Puia Arts and Crafts Center, Wai-O-Tapu geothermal area, Taupo Quad Adventures, Rafting New Zealand grade 2 rafting trip, Glowing Adventures Glow Worm tours, and the grand finale- the Hobbiton evening banquet tour) were each better than the other. Although I was concerned about the weather, I found it to be very pleasant, and the rain stayed away most of the time. All in all, this was a trip to remember for ages, thanks to Veronika's excellent organization, and David's charming personality. When (not if) we go back to New Zealand, I will have no hesitation as to whom to contact to organize our trip!

Aroha Tours put on a trip of a lifetime for us! We went to amazing cities and and saw come incredible sights. I don't think we could have had a better tour guide and driver than Steve. He was immensely knowledgeable for all destinations we visited and went above and beyond to ensure we all had a enjoyable trip. I would like to thank Aroha Tours, Veronika and Steve for planning/organizing this trip. I highly recommend Aroha Tours.

To see the best of New Zealand and have a wonderful trip at the same time, choosing Aroha New Zealand Tours is a must!! We have just finished our trip from New Zealand a couple weeks ago, Veronika has planned and arranged the best trip we have ever had. Great food, great places, and Veronika has been so caring and fun, hahahahha. It was such a great and wonderful trip that we will never stop talking about. If you are looking for a trip to New Zealand that is unique and extraordinary, Aroha New Zealand Tour is the first choice.

Trip of a lifetime! We travelled with Aroha Tours during our trip to New Zealand in August 2016, and could not recommend them more highly. Veronika planned a wonderful 8-day trip for us, and the itinerary was just right. She customized the tour to our preferences and expertly handled every step of the way. We visited both the North and South Islands. Even our 10-year-old had fun during the entire trip. The fact that Veronica and Stephen were there with us throughout the trip made the trip comfortable and stress-free for us. We had some unique experiences - saw birds nesting in groups near the Tasman Sea, saw glowworm caves, and took a helicopter ride and landed on a glacier on top of Mt. Cook. The food in every place we visited had so much flavor. All the places that Veronika and Stephen recommended to us was amazing. New Zealand is a place that everyone should visit at least once. Please contact Veronika if you would like to have a trip of a lifetime!

Veronika and the team at Aroha Tours provided an unbelievable holiday experience for my touring party. The itinerary was outstanding highlighting some of the better and lesser known parts of New Zealand. This was the trip of a lifetime for a lot of people and they will remember it and speak about it for the rest of time! I cannot recommend them and their services enough!

I would like to commend Veronika at Aroha NZ Tours for the incredibly professional and considered way in which she has dealt with our plans to visit NZ over this Corona period. Veronika’s sensible and considered advice and patience when planning our trip was invaluable and her thoughtful, decent and understanding approach is much appreciated with the Corona pandemic disrupting our plans. We will definitely use her services when we hopefully travel to NZ in the future and unreservedly recommend her to others planning to do the same.

Aroha Tours was absolutely amazing! By far the best experience I have had booking through any travel agency to date. Veronika is excellent to work with while planning your vacation. She's responsive, pays attention to details enabling a perfectly executed itinerary upon arrival. Jurgen, our driver, was knowledgeable, informative, and genuinely a nice person to spend two weeks with on the North and South islands. One thing that I believe set Aroha Tours above others was their ability to let you relax and let them handle the details. We had some tours cancelled due to weather related issues and Veronika and Jurgen were constantly on the phone rescheduling tours in order to fit activities back into our schedule. Meanwhile, our group is enjoying lunch or dinner, relaxing while they're at work. Truly a stress free and relaxing trip. I am unable to express enough how much I enjoyed my trip to New Zealand and the fact that we chose Aroha Tours. I will definitely use their services again and recommend them to everyone who is looking to travel to New Zealand!
