A sample of some of my clients' comments for my Christchurch tours

We had a beautiful trip and time for our Mt Cook tour with Craig. He is very personalized, helpful and even went to the extra mile to prepare our requested mushroom soup for our picnic lunch! Prior to our trip, he had also been very helpful with our enquiries about NZ. Thanks to Craig, we were able to capture many beautiful shots of Mt Cook and interesting sights. At the end of the trip, it was already 9 plus in the evening that we reached our hotel which we were only staying for one night, he made sure we had a room and everything was ok before making a move. Once again, thanks very much Craig for your warm hospitality! Hope to see you in NZ again

"Craig Rome is the most enjoyable tour guide my wife and I ever had the pleasure of meeting. We toured the South Island with Craig and savored every minute of his company, knowledge, and humor, as well as the incomparable, breath-taking scenery of New Zealand." Chuck and Carol Foster,  Tampa, Florida U S A.

"I'm finally getting around to writing about the marvelous experience we had on your tour of Christchurch and environs last February. For two couples from Boston--the O'Connors and the Hennessys--it was a wonderful conclusion to our travels in Australia and New Zealand and certainly one of the most memorable highlights of the entire month-long adventure. Your friendly and very informative style, as well as the delicious food you prepared, made us feel like old friends rather than tourists in very short order.

We hope to return to New Zealand someday and would definitely be in touch with you for another tour, as well as highly recommending you to anyone wanting a far richer and more worthwhile experience than being herded on a packaged bus tour with a troop of travelers."  Paul Hennessy,  Boston, Massachusetts, USA"

"Craig, We are finally back home, and we just wanted to take the time to thank you again for the wonderful time we had with you in Christchurch. You made the trip memorable and very special. It is clear that we had a much more special trip than those who booked the standard tours.

Eventually we will be posting on Trip Advisor and Cruise Critics, and you will be highly recommended. We have already “twittered” you too!  Thank you for helping us to have a truly memorable experience, we can’t wait to return". Dan and Michelle Pagni

"Thank you very much for your care! We used both your recommendations - Calvin golf course and Glacier Explorer. It was wonderful! You are the best travel guide! Katerina and Valeriy, Fiji Islands

"Hi Craig,...Thanks again for  wonderful time, the kids have voted your home as the best place we stayed all holiday. We had a great 2 days in Devonport on the North Shore after we left you, it's not often you go on holiday and come back thinking that everywhere you had been was fantastic. We will certainly be back next year.. your place will be top of the list to stay." Lee
 

"My family've left from Christchurch this morning. They said they were absolutely delighted to see you and join your tours in New Zealand. I have same mind. I had been worried about tours before I knew your company but I was so lucky to find your company and ask about their trips. My sister and I were absolutely surprised my mum said  "I want to come to New Zealand again." She always said she didn't want to go abroad and ride a plane. I think all thanks to you. I can't help to say thank you.... Thank you so much." 知嘉子Chikako　

Hello Craig, Thank you very very much for your help during our stay in NZ. We really enjoyed our trip because of your assistance. Everyone was impressed with your kindness, good organization, being attentive, sense of humour. It is said that a good tour guide makes a trip fantastic. Everyone says you are the guide. Thank you for the nice dinner at your house. We'd like to get a recipe, please. We have also found that NZ is a very beautiful country. I have been looking for countries where I spend for a few months after I retire. Banff in B.C. in Canada had been the first place, but now Christchurch is No.1!!"

"Dear Craig san, One week has passed since we returned from New Zealand. We can never thank you enough for your wonderful hospitality at your home. We appreciated and enjoyed our stay and the trip to Aoraki Mt. Cook - playing golf, tasting wine and other visits. You made our stay in New Zealand very memorable and one that we will never forget."
Shogo and Misao

"It was a wonderful experience to join your garden tour in Christchurch. We quite satisfied and enjoyed the beautiful gardens with their owner's hospitality... We hope to visit Christchurch again and wish to join your other tour including golf, hose riding, trekking..."

"Hello Craig san, We returned home from a trip yesterday. We were caught in a shower only first day then we had very fine days. We went to Hanmer Springs, Kaikoura, Christchurch and Mt Cook. Everyday we could see beautiful scenery.
I had been to Mt.Cook 3 times, but it is first time I could see Mount Cook so clearly... While we were traveling, Amane said she missed your meal so much! I really appreciate all that you have done for us. And thank you for being patient with my children. I will never forget your kindness. I hope I can see you again some day."

"I am writing to recommend Craig Rome. Craig is a passionate scriptwriter, first-rate Japanese translator, and excellent voice actor. When Craig began working for us at Rocket Languages (a company which delivers downloadable multimedia language-learning products), almost three years ago, his Japanese was excellent as well as his native English.
