New Zealand Tour and Travel is a division of Travel Plans International (TPI) of Hinsdale, Illinois and Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in 1970,
TPI has 33 years of experience in custom-designing and implementing
quality, in-depth tours to the South Pacific and to the world’s
other fascinating destinations. Our clients include many of America's
most prestigious universities, art museums and cultural institutions.
We also design individualized tour packages for anyone with a taste
for the exotic and a thirst for personal enrichment.
C.B. Lawrence, previously Head of Technology and Marketing for
TPI, has been named General Manager of New Zealand Tour and Travel.
He has partnered with the leading hotels, lodges, ground operators,
motor coach, cruise, and entertainment companies in New Zealand
to design 15 fabulous tour packages for you. The tours vary in length
from eight to twenty days, provide accomodations ranging from charming
three star hotels to fabulously luxurious lodges, and will give
you an in-depth exposure to as much of New Zealand as your time
will permit. If your travel interests are not met by one of the packaged tours, C.B., Renee Stoddard, or Linda Petrasek are prepared
to customize a package to meet your expectations.
Most people consider self drive to be the most effective way to
see New Zealand. However, our chaffeurs will be pleased to do the
driving if you wish or alternatively we have escorted motor coach
tours departing Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown most weeks
of the year.
Please keep in mind that the flying times from LAX and SFO are
roughly 12 and 13 hours respectively. Therefore, many of our packaged
tours include a three or five day stop in Tahiti/Moorea/Bora Bora.
The tropical beauty of French Polynesia is a contrast to the misty
mountains and fiordlands of the South Island of New Zealand, but
everyone who sees them agrees that each ranks with the most beautiful
places on earth.
