CLIENT FEEDBACK:
"I would like to sing the praises of our tour guide, Kirsten Roedsgaard-Mathiesen. Kirsten was exceptional in every way. She has this incredible love and passion for New Zealand and the New Zealanders, or more affectionately, the Kiwis, and this was evident in everything Kirsten did for us during the tour. Kirsten is extremely knowledgeable about all things New Zealand, its history, culture, geography, food, wine, industries etc. and communicates this knowledge in a very interesting, engaging, and delightful way. She has excellent people skills, great sense of humor, high energy, and patience – all skills which are obviously needed when trying to corral a group of 26 daily. Kirsten is a pro at what she does! AHI should be applauded for engaging Kirsten, as she was definitely a highlight of the trip for us." Joan M. Newman, USA
