Dear Liza, several days have already passed since the end of our unforgettable journey but we are still living in it! And that is thanks to the heartfelt and professional talent you and Shaun share. Your passion for what you do and your love for the country did not allow us to remain mere observers of New Zealand’s beauty — instead, you helped us see the depth of life there and the strength and resilience of the people who call it home. Liza, your stories about the country’s history and the lives of those who shaped it awaken a desire to keep discovering and learning more about New Zealand. (A gentle hint at a list of films and links to the music we loved! 😊) I cherish the hope that we will travel with you again in the future. Wishing you and Sean all the very best in your noble and demanding work!
With respect, Aliza and Mark

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Sean and Liza for their professionalism, empathy, and their ability to share their love for New Zealand. They opened up a wonderful world to me and inspired me to travel more. Thanks to them, I truly fell in love with New Zealand 😊

Dear Liza and Shaun, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful trip!
Thank you for your care, your attention to each participant and for the warm and friendly atmosphere you created throughout the journey. Thanks to you the trip was engaging, easy and truly unforgettable.
We saw so many beautiful places and learned a lot of new and interesting things. It’s clear that you love what you do and put your heart and soul into it. Thank you so much for the wonderful spirit you brought to the whole group. I sincerely wish you good health, happiness, and continued success in everything you do!
With gratitude and a warm hug, Margarita 😘😘

We would like to thank you once again for the informative tours, for the unforgettable memories, for the new knowledge and for the wonderful time we spent together! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We sincerely hope for new meetings in the future!!!

Wellington! Liza’s tour revealed to us the beauty of both the city and its surroundings. She demonstrated professionalism, deep and versatile knowledge and creativity in designing the route, taking us to lesser-known yet equally fascinating places.
With sincere gratitude, Ida and Andrey

Dear Liza, Thank you so much for the wonderful time you gave us in New Zealand. Thanks to your fascinating stories about the discovery and history of the islands—rich with vivid and precise facts, deep knowledge and a genuine love for the country’s extraordinary nature and wildlife—every excursion became truly lively, educational and joyful. For the first time in my life, I met a guide who, like me, has a solid foundation in geology—and who was finally able to explain clearly and engagingly to our tourists how tectonic faults “work,” why earthquakes occur, why volcanoes become active, and how geysers form. You introduced us to the Māori people through greetings in their language, prayers, music, and songs, making this culture feel close and understandable. Now I know for sure that there are even Māori “Slavic sommelier ladies”—something I had never heard of before 😄 A truly unique people! The entire journey was easy, full of humor, warmth, and a constant feeling that you truly cared about us. And you absolutely amazed everyone with Hobbiton—even those who had never read or watched The Lord of the Rings. Dear Liza, thank you so very much. With warmth and gratitude, Sergey
P.S. I got home, opened a bottle, and felt nostalgic—thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the wonderful time you gave us in New Zealand. Thanks to your fascinating stories about the discovery and history of the New Zealand islands, filled with detailed and interesting facts, your extensive knowledge and your love for the country’s beautiful nature and wildlife, every excursion was engaging and joyful. Your deep knowledge of geology helped us truly understand how tectonic faults behave, why earthquakes occur, why volcanoes become active, and how geysers are formed—and now I definitely won’t confuse magma with lava! You introduced us to the Māori people through greetings in their language, prayers, music and songs. Everything was always interesting, fun and full of humor. Your passionate storytelling and resilience in the pouring rain in Hobbiton impressed everyone—even those who had never read or watched The Lord of the Rings. The time flew by so quickly, and we would love to return to this beautiful world again.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Liza for the wonderful time we spent. Thank you for your sparkling smile, engaging tours, and amazing positive energy. I’m very happy we had the chance to meet.

Dear Liza! Thank you so much for the wonderful introduction to New Zealand. We have fallen in love with this distant and once unknown country. Your stories about its history, traditions, nature and wildlife have opened up for us an amazing, beautiful and peaceful world of the New Zealand islands. This country — and you, as its wonderful representative — will remain in our hearts forever. A group of tourists from Israel ❤️

You know, Liza🌹if it weren’t for you — such a famous traveller and tour guide ❣️ I would never have seen so many amazing and wonderful things on the South Island of New Zealand. A huge thank you to you 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 and Shaun for such an active, engaging tour and for all the impressions from everything we saw and heard in the mighty power of nature 🌏❣️👍

From all my numerous trips to the South Island our journey in October 2025 turned out to be the most fascinating and eventful — truly breathtaking!
Over two weeks we crisscrossed the island, delving into the nature, history and geology of New Zealand admiring the stunning beauty of its rivers, lakes, mountains and forests and enjoying the many gifts of this remarkable land.
All of this became possible thanks to our wonderful, knowledgeable, and charming guide — Liza Romanova, whose creativity, energy, and deep understanding of these places made the journey exceptional. I highly recommend that all future travellers explore the South Island with Liza!

This journey through New Zealand’s South Island was one of the best I’ve ever taken and left an incredible impression! The beauty of nature never ceased to amaze us. And most importantly the tour was planned down to the smallest detail — everything went smoothly and without any rush. Our guide, Liza, is a true professional: attentive, flexible and with a great sense of humour. She listened to our wishes and did everything to ensure that each of us got the most enjoyment out of the trip. A huge thank you for the care and the unforgettable experience!

This winter we had the most mind-blowing trip of our lives — New Zealand. And without exaggeration I can say to everyone reading this: if you have ever dreamed of visiting this distant country, dream, plan, save, do everything you can to make it happen one day. Believe me, it’s worth it.
One of the brightest highlights was meeting our guide Liza in the country’s capital, Wellington. Honestly we weren’t expecting much from this tour… but we got infinitely more. Liza told us the story of New Zealand — from the life and traditions of the indigenous people to the dramatic events of the country’s colonisation. She dispelled myths we’d heard from previous guides and gave us a clear, truthful picture of the past and present of these amazing islands.
Liza also introduced us to the living culture: she played modern Maori songs, explained their meaning and taught us words in the Maori language. These melodies which filled our day are still in my playlist — a warm reminder of the magic of that time.
But Liza is not just a guide. She showed us Wellington from another side: cosy cafés where only locals have lunch and quiet corners where tourists rarely go. With her it was easy, fun and incredibly comfortable.
And although we spent only one day together our connection didn’t end there. Liza carefully studied our entire South Island itinerary and added her “secret” spots: viewpoints, restaurants and places to take the most beautiful photos. She created a step-by-step plan for us thanks to which every stop on our journey became a little discovery.
This acquaintance was a true gift for us. We already know that when we return to New Zealand we will definitely go on a full journey with Liza’s tour company to see the country in all its beauty and magic.
Thank you Liza for the way you helped us discover New Zealand ❤️ And I wish everyone to meet such sincere and open people in their travels — people who make faraway countries truly close and dear.

Liza, thank you for this wonderful day — for the sweets, the water, the internet, the organization of the tour, the amazingly beautiful places we visited with you, your interesting stories, your excellent driving, the souvenirs we can bring as gifts and simply for being such a bright, positive person on this beautiful Earth. We embrace you with our hearts. May God protect you and grant you health and happiness!

We were a group of 12 people, friends and relatives from different countries traveling around New Zealand. Actually it was a cruise that started from Sidney with several stops in Tasmania and New Zealand. The stops were not too long and the main task was to see as much as possible. We spent two fantastic days with Liza in Napier and Wellington. She made these days really beautiful. We managed to see a lot during these days. Liza managed to plan the days so that all what we planned to see we managed to see and even more. Liza, thank you a lot. It was very nice and very professional. Hope to meet you again.

It’s hard to find the words to describe the impressions from the tour! Everything went in one breath! The guide was top class! Liza is a person who not only loves her profession but also wholeheartedly loves the country and its culture. Beyond all praise!

During our trip every day brought something new. I have never seen so many stunning places and landscapes anywhere before! It’s amazing that you can drive for 4 hours without getting tired because you’re enjoying the views and there are so many interesting spots along the way. In New Zealand there I felt quite safe, there are very kind and responsive people. There is everything you need for any type of holiday. Our guide is a very pleasant and knowledgeable young woman who fits perfectly into the nature and culture of New Zealand. She is attentive and always ready to help. She has an answer to every question and reacts quickly to changing circumstances. Everything went wonderfully — our group was very happy! Alexandra Chudilova, Russia Private group tour, 2016

Years go by but we still remember in Samara our wonderful trip organized by you! It remains one of the brightest chapters in our lives. Once again thank you! Wishing you and your loved ones health, peace, and kindness!

Many thanks to Liza Romanova for an amazing journey through New Zealand’s South Island! When I was planning my trip no companies were offering group tours at that moment and coming all this way without seeing the South Island was unthinkable for me. So I booked a private trip with a driver-guide. Right at the ship’s gangway I was met by a charming young woman named Liza — a Russian who understands perfectly the needs of Russian tourists, knows all the gems of both the North and South Islands and drives a car with great skill. There were moments when we needed to reach the start of the next excursion within a very short time and Liza was exceptional — winding mountain roads, steep descents, and climbs were no problem at all. If you enjoy stopping at beautiful places Liza will point them out and suggest taking photos, strolling to rivers, waterfalls, or the sea. She was a joy to talk to and with her we saw everything — and even more. Several months have passed since this incredible trip but in my mind I return to New Zealand again and again looking through photos and videos always seeing Liza whose energy, youthful spirit and optimism helped reveal the beauty of the South Island and made this journey one of the most wonderful and unforgettable. I truly hope to come back. Thank you for everything, Liza! Ludmila Podbolotova, Russia Private individual tour, 2015

New Zealand is an incredibly impressive country! I will never forget this trip and I will never forget our best guide in New Zealand — Liza Romanova! In New Zealand body, soul and the island merge into one — it’s the cradle of the Earth. Liza, when I get tired at work, I turn on 'Tangaroa Whakamautai' song and transport myself to your amazing island dissolving into it completely! Kia Ora!
