Yes, returned by popular request after our very successful and closely similar 2014 and 2016 tours (but, as always, with a couple of tweaks to build on our continued experience of what is most popular among the inclusions and experiences we offer), we now have the details online for our Oct/Nov 2017 tour to New Zealand, with (a popular new bonus first offered in 2016), touring to Australia as a post-tour option.

This tour, in NZ’s glorious springtime, has a mix of the key tourist sights and some ‘off the beaten track’ experiences too – you’d of course expect this in any Travel Insider experience, and doubly so in a tour to David’s home country of New Zealand.

As a centerpiece of the tour, we include attendance at New Zealand’s special Food and Wine Classic Festival in Hawke’s Bay, where you can get to select exactly the events and activities you wish to attend during this wonderful weekend filled with different activities and choices.

Travel with me (David Rowell, on the left) and a friendly ‘Coach Captain’ (Roger on the right) and enjoy a NZ tour that is amusing, entertaining, educational, and wonderful every which way!

Add in the optional pre-tour time in NZ’s tourist mecca of Queenstown, a night in Auckland, and a night in little visited Gisborne, NZ’s hidden gem and the first city in the world to see the sun each morning (see picture on the left), plus two nights in extraordinary Rotorua and a final two night deluxe treat in enormous sized luxury bungalows in the Martinborough wine region and you truly do have what we’re terming an Epicurean Extravaganza.

The same as last time, we’re keeping the numbers down low on this tour, so as to make it more special.  Rather than a generic coach tour, it will be a convivial shared experience with friends.

Please do come join your fellow Travel Insiders and soon-to-be new friends.  Full details here.
