I have just booked my first solo tour to New Zealand. I fly from Manchester on February 28th 2026. If anyone else is taking the tour, it would be nice to hear from you, or anyone who has already been and can give some advice or tips.

Hi Tony

You are in for a treat! I did this tour in February this year and also February 2024....and I'm going back in February 2027 on the Travelsphere itinerary! It's an amazing and friendly place.

If you have a look in the Reviews section of the Forum, on the second page, you will find some hints and tips that I posted after my first trip. Happy to help if you have any other questions. 

Happy travels

MLB

This is a bit confusing! I am also on this tour flying from Heathrow via Dubai and also called Tony. My profile should display as TB.
