To be avoided
If you have been traveling before by yourself, you are used to use your own brain, don't want to stop every hour for 2-hour activities and if you are older than 20 and don't wanna have drunken kids in your room avoid that bus! The hostels are party hostels (but you can book others and they drop you off there, which is nice) and the activities are overpriced (but if the kids don't do any research, fair enough). Most drivers are a little strange, but Gina was great.

Amazing experience
Spent a month travelling round New Xealand with kiwi and it was a great way to see a lot of the country and meet some amazing people! For the most part the drivers were fabulous, really informative and passionate about NZ, would definitely recommend!

The bus
The trip I've just finished (funky chicken pass) was unbelievable. I don't know why but our bus just attracted the best type of person and as a result I've made about 23 new best mates. We went to the best spots, could rely on travel when hungover and were encouraged to do things we didn't think we would. In 10 years time most of my gang of merry men and women will be returning to the bus for a big and bad reunion.

Amazing experience
We had Luke for the South Island. 10/10 because of him.

Fun school trip
I am indebted to the kiwi experience for giving me incredible memories, as well as facilitating my meeting of other fun people. The only Downside is that it felt a bit like a school trip in the way the drivers spoke down to you sometimes. Not cool when you're a paying guest.

Experience of a lifetime, and life long friends
Incredible for people in their 20s like myself! Met such incredible friends on my bus which really made my experience! I know a lot of other NZ tours are an older crowd with strict schedules so I know I got beyond lucky with Kiwi!

Outstanding experience
I heard good things about this trip. My main bus driver Ivan was incredible at getting everyone to socialise and have a good time. It was great he was always there to join in too.

A magic experience in a dream country
To travel with Kiwi experience bus in New Zealand was really fun and easy! You will get a change to see everything and there was a lot of adventure and experiences during the way, I could do it again any time, the best five weeks in my life!

Love the South Island!
Great place to meet people especially if you're travelling alone! Pre booking for your accommodation should be a more obvious step along the process of preparing for your trip because that means you will have more money to spend on activities which I wish was available to me. Upon entering the bus they should provide us with a full list of all the activities and the prices beside them because it's nice to see what you and your new friends want to do. Also I never got caught up in the "stand by" business, but I would suggest working something out in that department to make it seamless and not frustrating. The views from the bus were pretty spectacular so I recommend not sleeping on the bus! I like the bus drivers Emily and Cathy because they were interactive on the bus with games and cool facts!
