Latitude South Travel Company, Ltd. Recenzje 72

We can’t say enough good things about LSTC, and especially our Travel Adviser Claire Pendlebury. LSTC recently organized a two week trip for us to explore NZ’s South Island, and managed to fit in an almost endless array of wonderful adventures. When weather events & family matters required some unexpected schedule adjustments, LSTC was right there to help us get our trip right back on track. We can’t say enough good things to recommend this agency & look forward to future bookings. Hire them!

Working with Karen Petitt and the entire Latitude South team set a new standard for professionalism and caring about our travel experience. The customization of our trip to Sydney and New Zealand, based on our interests and budget, was exceptional. They went the extra mile, paying close attention to every detail. Our trip was seamless and one of our best ever. We give them our highest recommendation.

Karen Pettit and her team at Latitude South Travel helped craft an outstanding trip for us in New Zealand.
We originally entertained three proposals from different travel companies. The one from Latitude South Travel was one of the more interesting and unique proposals.

Once selected as our preferred travel company, they were most helpful and accommodating in adjusting plans and offering alternative options to allow us to have a great New Zealand experience.

Booking something sight unseen, albeit with an unfamiliar company can be nerve-racking. But the Latitude South team handled the proposal process graciously and openly entertained any questions or alternate considerations, which was very comforting and reassuring.

They weren't just trying to "sell us" what they wanted to sell. Rather, Latitude South wanted to be sure we were comfortable with the experiences being stitched together.

Just some of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of your trip were...
• The first Sunrise over Lake Rotorua
• Exploring the thermal wonderland areas of Waiotapu
• Cruising the Tasman Bay and enjoying Abel Tasman National Park
• The Coastal Pacific Train from Picton to Christchurch
• Our helicopter flight from Mt. Cook and landing on the Fox Glacier
• The incredible scenery of Milford Sound
• The City of Queenstown

Everything was well planned and we had a wonderful time in NZ! What a beautiful country with such warm and welcoming people, especially the folks Lattitude South Travel Company
There were a couple of snafus along the way (not their fault) but the folks at Latitude jumped in and helped us solve them quickly. We are so grateful for the wonderful trip we had and we thank Lattitude South Travel Company so much!

I can't speak highly enough about Latitude South and the job Claire and her team did in creating and executing the best honeymoon trip for my wife and I! The entire planning process was so smooth and easy and Claire spent countless hours on Zoom with us crafting the perfect itinerary based off of our preferences. Their knowledge of New Zealand is unparalleled and the accommodations, tour operators, and day trips they booked for us were all superb. When we had a few last minute changes that needed to be made because of the weather, Claire was immediately available to help and worked her magic to change things around. All in all, it was a spectacular trip and it could not have happened if it wasn't for Latitude South!!

My husband and I had a stellar experience from the pre-trip interview all the way through to post-trip debrief. We don’t usually work with travel agencies but found the personal approach of Karen and Claire to be immensely helpful. Claire knew who we were from our conversations and tailored experiences and hotels to fit us. I will absolutely refer them to others and hope we can go back to them for future travel.

A perfectly planned outdoor focused trip with diversity of geography, sites and experiences.

Claire at Latitudes South arranged a trip that we could never. She has access to venues you don’t and knows of others only available to upper level experienced travel pros. If you want the best use Claire.

We recently returned to the U.S. after an extraordinary journey across Australia and New Zealand. The entire experience, planned and coordinated by Claire Pendlebury and the team at Latitude South, exceeded every expectation.

Our itinerary was diverse and seamlessly organized — from camping among kangaroos and sailing the coastlines, to snorkeling, exploring caves, hiking, sand boarding, and even luge riding. Each destination offered a unique perspective of these remarkable countries, and every logistical detail was handled flawlessly.

Claire’s expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail made all the difference. She curated an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, comfort, and authentic local experiences.
Australia and New Zealand are truly spectacular, and thanks to Latitude South, we were able to experience both in a meaningful and memorable way.

I highly recommend Claire and her team to anyone looking for a professionally planned, personalized, and unforgettable travel experience.

Our trip through New Zealand was fantastic! Latitude South (Claire) did an awesome job organizing the key points we needed to see and how to see them. We hiked. We catamaraned, We steamboated. And with a few days without schedule so we could sleep in and just enjoy being in this unbelievable part of the world. We were met at every new destination and taken to the next. It was a zero-worry trip.
Latitude South is trustworthy and uber friendly and accommodating to last minute changes.
Totally recommendable!!!

Back in the U.S. after trekking and tramping my way across Australia and New Zealand with my trusty trip mate, Emily Cowdrick — and somehow, we both survived!

We camped with kangaroos (they snore, by the way), sailed the seas, snorkeled with fish that were definitely faster than me, watched crocs (not hunted them, promise), sand boarded, hiked, caved, and even tried our hand at luge riding — turns out gravity works really well down under!

Huge thanks to Claire Pendlebury for pulling together such an epic adventure. Every detail was spot-on, and each day brought a new experience to remember.

Two amazing countries filled with unforgettable sights, great people, and memories to last a lifetime.

Claire planned the perfect Australian vacation to go with my TCS Sydney Marathon race! She customized the trip to our family and it was amazing!

This was our second trip using Latitude South. Without a doubt the best travel experience we’ve encountered. No detail was overlooked. Well organized and easy to follow. Easy to contact should plans change.

All the logistics and planning were well done and happened as planned. Several sites and tours were scheduled that were very good and suggested by Latitude South. We were contacted by them more than once before and during the tour to work on any problems, but there were none.

We cannot say enough positive things about our recent trip to New Zealand and Australia, and particularly about the Latitude South Travel Company. During the planning stages, they really listened to us to ensure the trip would be exactly what we were looking for and not just a cookie-cutter itinerary that everyone gets. Their communication was outstanding, not just during the planning stages, but also while we were traveling. We earnestly feel Latitude South went above and beyond to ensure our adventure was everything we dreamed it would be.

We returned home with a lot of wonderful memories, including a few highlights. We really enjoyed our lunch at the winery near Picton, NZ; the location was perfect and the food superb. The towns and cities we visited all had their own character, which we were pleased to experience, but our favorites were probably Queenstown and Sydney. They each had a vibrancy which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate the day we visited Milford Sound, otherwise we're sure it would have been spectacular. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We would wholeheartedly recommend Latitude South to anyone planning a trip to this special part of the world.

Latitude South curated a one of a kind, once in a lifetime experience for my husband and me! We dreamed of going to New Zealand for many years, and we were able to spend 3 1/2 amazing weeks seeing this spectacular place from Auckland to Queenstown as well as Rotorua, Wellington, Nelson, Golden Bay and Christchurch! Karen Pettit is the consummate professional, and she and her team made us feel completely pampered and cared for - every detail was taken care of. As well, Latitude South has developed an incredible team of travel partners including drivers, private guides, tour companies, hospitality hosts, outstanding accommodations and wonderful restaurant recommendations! Nothing was missed - nothing was left to chance! This was a DREAM trip!

When planning our honeymoon, we wanted a travel agency that was thoughtful, efficient, communicative, and would listen to our interests. Latitude South delivered just that and completely went beyond our expectations! Karen and the entire team took so much time to chat with us and went through multiple itinerary iterations to ensure that every minute of our 2-week honeymoon was spent doing something we were excited about. They are clearly NZ pros and some of our favorite moments were recommendations that they brought to the table beyond just the classic tourist attractions. We truly felt the luxury of not having to worry about logistics on our entire vacation, as every detail was handled by Latitude South and there was not one blip. We never felt like we were wasting away a day with travel, having any "filler" activities or too much down time, because the logistics were perfectly paced out. Karen really listened to what we wanted to get out of the trip and curated the trip of a lifetime. We are so grateful and are already thinking about when we can head back to NZ - of course with the help of Latitude South again!

Just returned from an incredible, orchestrated and curated trip by Claire at Latitude South. From the moment we landed in the Southern Hemisphere, there was not a detail overlooked. Definitely the trip of a lifetime! Everyone we dealt with at Latitude South was "over the top" when it came to customer service, especially Claire. This trip was a year in the planning and every interaction with Claire and the team was amazing. She listened carefully to our wishes for the journey and suggested ideas we would never have thought of, which turned out to be fantastic. I cannot say enough about the personal and dedicated service we received. Already thinking of the next journey to New Zealand and will definitely call on Claire and Latitude South to design the trip! Many thanks to Karen and her incredible team!

Claire was beyond wonderful and incredible at planning our whole trip to New Zealand. She asked us a variety of questions and planned our visit around our likes and dislikes. Even the restaurant suggestions were fantastic. We have recommended her to all of our friends and family.

Amazing detail to provide three couples traveling together with smooth travels and a comprehensive overview of New Zealand. There was not a single hitch in any of the plans. The Latitude South team was very quick and responsive to our needs. We got to have some unique experiences because of the personalized holiday planning.
