Hi, I’m Harrie van den Berg. I am an experienced travel specialist and I like travelling by train – it’s the best way to explore! I moved here from The Netherlands 3 years ago with my Kiwi partner.

    Lee

  • Very helpful, nothing a problem. Great advice and very prompt. Exceptional customer service, timely, professional, helpful, responsive and overall incredibly valuable.
    Anna

  • Carmel was extremely helpful. She worked very hard to create an excellent itinerary. High communication skills were used by her at all time. Carmel was prompt in replying with all requests, This including if she was out of office or would be spending research time before "getting back" to us. We felt comfortable in changing any pending bookings as nothing was a problem to her. Carmel is an asset to the company. Thank you.
    Victor

  • Harrie was very helpful & understanding of our needs plus helped us to decide to do some extra experiences on our trip. We would definitely use him again.
    Toni

  • Harrie was very personable and ask us questions about bits we had not even thought of making it easy.
    Shane

  • Harrie van den Berg 11/10 service. Went over and beyond - I was one of those annoying clients who keep asking for more options and changing my mind, nothing was a problem and more importantly I got a reply straight away after every email..... so so grateful.
    Aimee

  • Harrie is very accommodating, understands the needs very well and never fail to suggest a few options rather than going by one. This is my second time dealing with him. I reside in Auckland but i still prefer to deal with Harrie as it is easier with his approach.
