My wife and I highly recommend Michael Nees. We previously used Michael’s services for a trip to New Zealand in 2012, and recently he helped us plan a trip to Australia and New Zealand. We shared cities/regions we wanted to see along with a few activities, and Michael skillfully recommended quality lodging, fun activities, and travel logistics. Travelling to that part of the world from the United States can seem a bit overwhelming planning wise. Michael helps take the stress out of the process however and on both trips we have been very happy with our lodging accommodations and his other suggestions. He also sets up vehicle rentals and can plan domestic flights.
Working with Michael brings you the knowledge of a local. We knew we wanted to visit Far North Queensland for example, but he suggested a small town for us to stay in that ended up far nicer than the town we would have stayed in if we booked on our own, and it was a better jumping off point for visiting the barrier reef and rain forest. Work with Michael and you'll end up with a more enjoyable trip to Australia and/or New Zealand!
