Tourist Information - Check Out Online Travel Reviews

One of the hardest parts of planning an overseas trip is knowing where all the best places to stay are. Finding New Zealand tourist information is no different. Sure you can buy a guidebook, and follow it to the letter, you can book a 12 day whistle stop tour and blast your way through the country so fast you can barely breathe, or maybe you could even blindfold yourself, step onto a giant map of New Zealand, and write down all the places you walk over as you stumble from one end of the living room to the other, but who knows if you are getting to see the best parts New Zealand has to offer?

What if the guidebook is out of date? It is often only written by a small group of people who got free accommodation to write a great review. It's hardly impartial is it? And that tour can look great on paper, but what is it really like? As for the blindfold and the map idea, you might end up with a headache bigger than the one you got when you tripped over the coffee table while you did your map walking thing. Who knows where to stay? Where to go? What to see?

So where can you go to find the New Zealand tourist information you need? Like anything, finding real people to talk to helps. If people just like you have found a cool spot that had the most amazing views, the campground with the best amenities, the tours that gave the best value for money, surely you'd want them to tell you all about it right?

Getting the personal touch of experience stamped all over your NZ tourist information can help you cut out a lot of time and energy selecting the places and events that fit your personality the most. You can find out from a wide range of people whether a place lives up to other tourists expectations without having to plough through all that confusing marketing speak.
