My wife and I took the 3 week tor of Aus& NZ 2 years ago and we couldn't have been more satisfied. Tauk offers a very upscale experience at rates that offer terrific value. Afterwards, we felt that we had really seen and experienced all the highlights of both countries. We are returning on our own next month and only when making arrangements on your own do you realize the value that Tauk offers.

G'day Joy & Bill, <BR>you say "small group tours". Have you considered a Custom Tour in Australia? <BR>Let someone experienced plan it with you and you'll get exactly what you want. <BR> <BR>Email if interested, <BR> <BR>Michael

I thought that travel agent/specialists/ were supposed to stay off this site. Selling is NOT supposed to be allowed.

Hello Joy and Bill,<BR><BR>My husband and myself went on a 17 day tour of New Zealand last October/November with Evergreen Tours. They are part of Scenic Tours, www.scenictours.com.au . We had the best time. It was very full on, with nearly every day planned to the limit. We did get four or five afternoons and two full days off, though.<BR> <BR>We laughed our way around New Zealand with a great bunch of people. You could mix or you could just be by yourselves and go along with the group if you wanted. <BR><BR>I was also a bit worried about what it would be like, but we saw so much and it was all arranged for us. No worries about getting lost, parking, where to go or what to see. It was all done for us.<BR><BR>Some people will say that it is a poor way to travel, as if it is somehow beneath them. These are travel snobs. We loved it and particularly enjoyed the company of the others on the tour.<BR><BR>If you want any hints and tips that we used or any information, please email. I would love to share.<BR><BR>Jenny<BR>&gt;^..^&lt;<BR>
