Has anyone had a particularly good (OR BAD)experience with any of the tour companies for Australia and New Zealand? There are so many, it's a jungle out there! Thanks for any recommendations.

I have used a small adventure company travel company out of San Francisco for the three trips I have made Down Under.<BR><BR>WWW.NZADVENTURECO.COM<BR><BR>It is operated and owned by a Kiwi who knows what she is talking about. She can set you up with what ever you want to do. It is a more personal company from my experience calling around to check prices. The larger companies are just cubicle farms with people who sell pre-packaged scripts and don't seem to have a clue about things to do off the well worn path.
