[About the customized free-and-easy tour I booked]
My friend and I embarked on this adventure together, and after a thorough search on xhs, we finally found a travel agency that met our needs. For 9 days, it cost us 24,000 RMB per person, which included visa, flights, hotels, and attraction tickets (sisters, always clarify everything before booking a travel agency). This choice helped us avoid many of the common pitfalls discussed on xhs!
Here are some valuable tips for sisters considering a travel agency for their New Zealand trip:

Things to note when booking a travel agency 💗💗
1. Avoid agencies with suspiciously low prices; always inquire about their qualifications and contracts beforehand.
2. There are numerous travel agencies on xhs, including unlicensed ones and private guides. These can be risky, so always ask for their credentials and business licenses!
3. If you decide to go with a travel agency, ensure there is a detailed contract ✅. Clarify every aspect, including hotel accommodations, itinerary, routes, expenses, and what’s included and excluded.

Things to be aware of 💗💗
1. Whether you’re going on a free-and-easy trip or with a travel agency, it’s essential to do some basic research. At least have an idea of the attractions you want to visit and plan your itinerary in advance.
2. Pack a warm jacket; the winds in New Zealand can be quite strong, and the temperature fluctuations outdoors are significant!
! Stay cozy and comfortable.
3. Don’t forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and a windbreaker. It’s also wise to bring your own toiletries, as most hotels don’t provide them, and purchasing them locally can be pricey.

👯 Travel Agency Experience
My friend and I enjoyed a 9-day trip, which covered visa, flights, hotels, and attraction tickets. We handled our meals independently, but the travel consultant kindly recommended some affordable and delicious dining spots. Finding a reliable travel agency was truly exhausting.
When I saw a post with 99+ comments, I understood the struggle (those who have looked for a travel agency know the feeling [Disappointed R][Disappointed R][Disappointed R]). With so many ads, it was hard to distinguish the genuine ones. We were fortunate to find a trustworthy agency, and both felt the investment was well worth it!
