New Zealand Tour Review: Milford Sound, Timber Trail, Rafting, Hiking, Kayaking, 3-Week Trip

Unless we spent hundreds of hours researching a trip to New Zealand ourselves, we would have never found all the special places that Zicasso’s travel specialist booked for us. Our three-week adventurous trip went very smoothly. We even had kiwis we met ask for the travel specialist’s contact number!
