Tony Haycock of Tours by Tony
I have been involved in the travel industry since leaving school in the 1980s. With a lifetime interest in all things motoring, I was looking for the opportunity to combine a love of cars with my fascination for travelling and Tours By Tony is the result. As a TAANZ (Travel Agents Association of New Zealand) Approved Travel Broker with NZ Travel Brokers, all client funds are paid directly to a TAANZ Bonded travel agent and are completely secure. As an Approved Travel Broker, I can also make all your pre-or post-tour bookings and handle any changes while on tour.
If you are travelling independently, I can offer a full travel service and can make any travel arrangements – flights, tours, transport, accommodation – anything you need. My time in the travel industry has seen me travel through Australia, Asia, the USA, South America, Britain, Europe and Scandinavia. With the backing of NZ Travel Brokers I have instant access to the best travel deals on the market, from a week on the Gold Coast to a world tour.
Years of experience in leading groups small and large, and having travelled extensively, means travelling on one of our tours with Tony will give you a personalised experience which you will not find anywhere else. I like to keep off the beaten track, staying in boutique-style accommodation wherever possible and our tours include the important sightseeing which is an extra cost with many other tour operators.
I know that no two travellers are alike and because all tours are small groups, this allows for maximum flexibility and ensures that all participants get the holiday that they want, with the security of having me there to ensure everything runs smoothly.
