“The tour was on time and we saw all the things on the list in a way that didn’t feel terribly hurried. I don’t feel like it was a tour so much as a driver (she wasn’t as confident as I would have liked) the roads in New Zealand are never in a straight line so I feel like they really require a steady hand and confidence. I would have liked to have learned more about the places we went and the history of the land.”
