“Adelaide and The Murray River”- Apr25
Firstly I would like to say that Michelle was an excellent tour host, warm and friendly, well organised and professional. She looked after us very well.
Highlights for me were
- The Murray River journey – the boat, the staff, the scenery, the Aboriginal Reserve visit and the food. Also the bush tucker breakfast and a night time ride to see the stars in the dark sky area. Best of all was being out on the top deck at dawn and seeing the sunrise – absolutely breathtaking.
- Walking around Adelaide, the ambience, the river, the old buildings, the parks and gardens and the excellent museum. The hotel rooms were comfortable and well appointed.
- The trip to Victor Harbour, particularly the horse drawn tramcar across the bridge to Granite Island and back. The entertaining Cockney driver kept us laughing for most of the day.
Improvements to mention: The train journey from Melbourne to Adelaide, The carriage was way too noisy.
Otherwise, the tour itself was a wonderful experience

“African Explorer – Morocco”- Apr25
Hello David,
We were impressed by your use of electronic connections such as eSIM, cash passport, Life360, and your use of WhatsApp to keep in touch with our group on a daily basis (and also, thank you for your help in facilitating the new electronic UK visa).
It was great the way you handled unforeseen problems such as the luggage that got lost in transit from Dubai to Morocco.
And, finally, we were really thankful for your willingness to help us plan for our travel beyond Morocco, and on to France & the UK.
Overall, we enjoyed your good humour and kind supportive manner in dealing with our travel group.

“Gibbs Farm with Sculpturium Tour #1”- Feb25
I don’t know where you get your staff from – they are all fantastic and could not want for more. Bronwyn even went to baking goodies for us and special G/F, no onions/garlic for me. Amazing. After years of wanting to do the tour, I finally made it, it was very enjoyable.

Thanks so much for a most enjoyable trip. Michelle and Ruth are the perfect two to lead a trip. They made it. They work together to make us laugh yet are super efficient.

Taste of Tasmania Tour – Apr23
Thank you very much for a well organised and thoroughly enjoyable tour.
Your attention to detail, careful planning and care of each member have been much appreciated. Having a third of the group with Health issues can’t have made it easy for you, however you cared for them and kept the tour to schedule, well done.
Many thanks again.
Liz & Mike
Chateau, Kapiti & Somes Island Trip – Apr22
Hi, I Just want to say a big thank you for the wonderful trip you organised for us.
You could probably tell how much I enjoyed it all.
Some of the highlights for me were the zen boat trip on peaceful Lake Rotomahana, going up in the Skywaka for lunch at the Pinnacles, & being welcomed into Ngati Toa territory by Manaaki on Kapiti Island. And learning about the history of Matiu/Somes Island, & discovering Stonehenge Aotearoa, & being entertained by those cheeky kaka at Zealandia, oh, & finally getting to experience those magnificent gardens in Hamilton…. Everything!
And you, David, made it all happen, & made the trip so special for us with your superb planning, your enthusiasm & your great care of us all.
If I could have made one change it would have been to give us two or three free hours in Wellington. I love places like art galleries so I would have zoomed to see the latest exhibition at Te Papa & visited the National Portrait Gallery which we were very close to a couple of times (& I had to restrain myself from going in to on Saturday!)
Having said that, I wouldn’t have wanted to give up any of the activities you had scheduled in for us, & I thought the trip was just the right length.
So thank you for a memorable experience. You are a fabulous tour guide.
Margo
Art Deco & East Cape Tour – Feb22
We joined on to the 2022 trip to Napier Art Deco weekend. Despite this having to be scaled back to a smaller event because of Covid, David organized an interesting & busy 9 days. Even though Napier was the main attraction, the drive back to Whangarei took us to places in New Zealand we had never been.
David is always willing to listen to feedback from the group about how things can be improved, or new places that could have been included. We thoroughly enjoyed our time away & look forward to our next adventure.

Two Islands Tour – Tiritiri Matangi & Waiheke – Feb 22
Thank you very much for the wonderful way and manner in which you undertook this trip. This was the first trip I have done in a group so was a little apprehensive about going with a group of “unknowns”. Suffice to say that I so thoroughly enjoyed myself I cannot wait to see when there will be another chance for me to join your one of your groups again. I would even do the same trip again – albeit with a little more time in Waiheke. I have been raving on and extolling the good name of your company to all I meet and a number of people have indicated an interest. All the best for you upcoming rave in Hawkes Bay.

Great Barrier Getaway – Jan 22
“We can highly recommend travelling with David Moss at You, Me & Friends. He always makes sure you have a wonderful time, is very caring, considerate and always goes the extra mile for us all. Thank you David for giving us the opportunity to go back to the Barrier having been there previously in 2003, we always talked about going back one day. Such a cool, relaxing place to visit. Not forgetting Russell with his local knowledge and humour added to the enjoyment of touring the Island.”
Doug & Jean
Great Barrier Getaway – Jan 22
“Recently my wife and I visited Great Barrier Island on a tour run by ‘You, Me & Friends’. This trip was well crafted. However, for us, what stood out was the professional manner in which our ‘Tour Leader’, owner/operator paid attention to our needs. David Moss would have to be one of a kind compared to our experiences of other tour companies that we have used over the years.”

Thank you David for such a great day. The Gibbs farm is so great to see…I never realised what good things were behind those gates as we drove past often. The food stops (most were first time experience) were tasty, and the wine later was pretty amazing too. Thanks so much and we hope we can do it again. Lots of fun and laughs and meeting new friends.

Most of them hadn’t been to any of the spots we visited and are wanting to go back. It was great that Chris and I could relax and enjoy it too. Loved the way the bus driver was into keeping it a secret too”

Staff Xmas Casino night – Dec 20
“Thank you so much for all the work you put into our Christmas casino night on Friday. People really enjoyed themselves (despite the lack of noise- making). Please give a big thanks to your croupiers: they did an amazing job at making people feel comfortable and encouraging them to try something new. The food was perfect – more than I imagined. A huge success! Merry Christmas”
