“My brain is packed with all the

travel knowledge, insider tips

and great ideas you need, so you

can make the most of your time.”

“Sure it’s a tour, but I like to

keep it flexible and move things

around to suit the group and the

day. I’m here to make your trip

the best it can be, and am always

listening and ready to help.”

“Like to get a handle onthe lingo? I’ll give you afew key words and phrasesyou need to mix it withthe locals. Then it’s overto you to give it a try.”

Contiki Crew have made it through training ‘bootcamp’, so they couldn’t be better qualified, plusthey love what they do - all adding up to an evenbetter holiday for you!

“I look friendly, sound

friendly and even wake up

friendly. Not bad, eh? I’m

also around your age and I’ve

got a pretty good idea of the

kind of fun you’re after.”

“TM’s come from round thecountry - nobody knows itbetter than a local.

“The other half of our dynamic

duo - nobody knows the roads

like our Drivers do. They handle

all the driving stress while

getting you where you want, near

door to door, without having to

lug your bags around.”

“I always keep an eagle eye onthings to help make your tripas hassle-free as possible.”

“I live, eat and

breathe travel.

Careful, it’s

catching!”

“Travelling with me is

all about you concentrating

on the fun bits. To do

that, I like to focus on

keeping things organised

and running smoothly,

so you can focus on

enjoying your holiday.”

“There’s no tougher

training in the travel

industry than our

intensive training course

and there’s a good reason

why. Contiki makes sure

that only the very best

people make it through

so that you get to

benefit from having

the cream of the crop.”

Of all the memories you’ll make on your trip, what

you ate will be right up there with the best of them.

New Zealand has loads of delicious foods to excite

your tastebuds! From it’s world-famous lamb to an

abundance of fresh seafood unique to NZ, like the

amazing large green lip mussels from the South.

There’s also traditional Maori food

including the Hangi where food is

cooked for hours to perfection right

underneath the ground!

We include lots of fresh and tasty meals on all of our

tours, but we leave enough meal times free

(particularly lunches), as you’ll be out exploring in

your free time, discovering and doing your own thing.

If you’ve got any special dietary requests, you need to let us know

at the time you book your trip. We will try very hard to make sure

your’re accommodated, but sometimes things can vary from place

to place and we can’t guarantee that you will get meals to your

exact requirement.
