Thank you Mr Aashwin for the perfect holiday destination that you suggested to us.
We wanted to go for Australia but the kind of itineraires shown and activit (Read More)ies included drove us to New Zealand.
We were given activites which included Bunjee, Sky dive, Helicopter ride, Sea Plane ride, Scuba, SHotoverjet, Gondola, Luge, Monster car drive, Zorbing, Karting and what not.
You ask this guy anything in New Zealand and he would let you know all.
We were given a number of complimentary upgrades from hotels to cars. Though the car at CHristchurch was a bit old but having a convertible BMW was just amazing as my wife loved the feeling of a convertible BMW and gave us a feel of Kaho Na Payr hai as promised.
The Mercedes given to us in Auckland was old too but later we figured out all the super cars are outed in New Zealand and he did inform us of the same so no issues out there.
Overall i am very happy with FLy Goldfinch and Aashwin for the wonderful trip organised
