TESTIMONIALS

We were delighted with the service we had from Jane Coutts. We had a very enjoyable 4 week trip to New Zealand and Jane was very thorough, knowledgeable and helpful. The itinerary put together was excellent. She took a lot of time to understand our needs and what we wanted from the trip. We highly recommend Amazing New Zealand to help you plan a great holiday to New Zealand. My family and I had a very enjoyable holiday and we thank Jane for helping make it so enjoyable for us .

We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Amazing New Zealand to plan our trip. They booked our internal flights, our accommodations, and our excursions. We looked at other companies but it turns out they were sort of pretending they were New Zealand companies and they were from Australia or elsewhere. I think it’s very important if you book a trip that you choose a company like AmazingNZ to handle your bookings because they know New Zealand because they live in New Zealand. Because of inclement weather it was easy for them to make changes for us. We thought they did an amazing job and highly recommend them.

I contacted the highest rated B&B in New Zealand about two months before our trip and asked them who they would recommend to organize a tour for us. They recommended Amazing New Zealand.

To say Jane Coutts was an amazing travel agent would be an understatement. I found her on on a NZ travel Facebook group and reached out to her when I quickly realized planning our 4 week trip to NZ would consume more time than I could allot it. Jane was quick to reply, very knowledgeable and professional. The itinerary she built was a work of art in itself. Car rentals, in country flights, excursions (of which there were many) etc. were all things I trusted her with and in return all we had to do was show up. Everything she had lined up for us was great and we truly got a comprehensive look of this stunning country. Not even home back home to Massachusetts, USA 24 hours and I’m already in touch with her about an idea for a return visit next year. Thank you Jane! To anyone reading this…shoot her a message and let her do the heavy lifting of comprehensive planning and focus on knowing you will be in for the trip of a lifetime.

Outstanding experience in NZ

Dear Jane,
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for organizing such an outstanding trip to New Zealand. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and your expertise made the experience truly seamless and enjoyable.
From the incredible destinations to the smooth logistics, everything exceeded my expectations. Your dedication and attention to detail ensured that this was a trip to remember, and I truly appreciate all the effort you put into making it so special.
Thank you again for your exceptional service and for creating such a wonderful travel experience. I will certainly be recommending you to others and look forward to planning future adventures with your help!
Warm regards,
Navah

Perfect Mix Everything - We booked our self- drive vacation with Jane after she spent time getting to know us on a zoom call. She created the perfect itinerary that took into account all of our needs. We are kosher, active, love the outdoors and are adventurous! She had us booked in beautiful self catering apartments with beautiful views and tons of hiking, biking and nature. As the trip unfolded, she troubleshot every issue including what to do in the rain! We rarely use a travel agent as I enjoy doing the legwork myself. This experience showed me how much more you can see and do when you book with someone fabulous…she didn’t miss a thing and helped us focus our time on all of the best places. We could not recommend her more highly!

Amazing New Zealand was AMAZING
We’re in Canada and heard about Amazing New Zealand through friends. I only had a vague idea about what we wanted to do during our time in the country. Luckily, Jane Coutts immediately responded to my inquiry email and things went incredibly well from that point on. Jane listened to our ideas and came up with an amazing itinerary. With just a few tweaks, a trip was born! Things went seamlessly and we enjoyed everything. Unfortunately, we had a health emergency which meant we had to go home early. Jane was an incredible help with this as well. We couldn’t have been in better hands. I highly recommend Amazing New Zealand and will use them again.

"Hooray for Jane and Amazing NZ Itineraries!"
I just finished up an incredible month in New Zealand. Working with Jane and Amazing New Zealand Itineraries was a pleasure through and through! Jane crafted a customized itinerary that perfectly matched the timeline and budget I provided, tailoring it to my specific interests. The trip had a little bit of everything - hiking, kayaking, relaxing, fine dining - and struck the perfect balance between city exploration and remote getaways. I’m so glad I chose to use Amazing New Zealand Itineraries instead of planning everything myself. At one point, an unavoidable set of circumstances disrupted my trip, but Jane went above and beyond to rebook flights and create an alternate route for me. She was just a phone call or text away throughout my entire journey, and her support made a world of difference.
