Bio: What our clients have said: "Ange was wonderful. My favorite person in NZ. She took the opportunity of a small group to make the trip personal and tailored it to our individual preferences." "She definitely did make sure my trip was awesome. She was so good at keeping the group in the know about what our plans were, getting us around, keeping our spirits up and she was never short on knowledge about New Zealand." "Ange was an amazing driver and motivator. She made the experience completely enjoyable and she had great anecdotes, some of which I'm still not sure we're entirely true, but they were amusing." "Angie was TERRIFIC and very accommodating. She showed that she was an experienced lead, in addition to being able to handle multiple vehicles. She always was ready for options and suggestions for alternatives. The small group size, trip leader's and assistant's attention to detail and ability to accommodate most every need made the
Manuka trip one of my most memorable experiences.
" "Ange was great as the lead guide. Everything was well organised, even with
the many changes required by the weather. Her driving was excellent and she
did a great job making sure everything ran on schedule. She was very
friendly and kept you on your toes with a tall story every now and again.
If a friend booked on a tour with ACTIVE NZ, I'd recommend that they try to
get a trip that Ange was leading." "Ange is such a great guide. She went out of her way to make sure we had the best experience possible, while being flexible enough to let things flow naturally (the benefit of a small group). She’s very knowledgeable, very competent, very safety-conscious, and very fun! Thanks Ange!
" "Ange was a 10 plus. She was so personable and professional Ange was a great driver – very safe. She absolutely ensured that we had an awesome trip." "Ange is a top-notch guide and a darn good driver. She can drive that bus anywhere! She's fun, knowledgeable, informative, has a great sense of humor, and has endless energy and patience. I so appreciated that when it was my turn for some encouragement! Ange made everything look effortless. I think she covered three times the territory as the rest of us to ensure everyone's safety and success. I'd like to add weather goddess to her list of talents. She attributed our great weather to the hula girl on the dash but I suspect she played a part. :=)
Ange did a great job managing us old folks. She was extremely focused and efficient, and fun too." "Ange was awesome -- she worked really hard to make sure everyone was having a good time, seemed very experienced and knowledgeable, and was overall a lot of fun to be around. And she even carried someone's pack all the way up to Angeles hut after they pulled a muscle -- which is truly a feat!
" "Ange was great, very easy and friendly with everyone. Good sense of humour. I felt very confident in her abilities as a guide on the trail (in case of emergency I was pretty sure she could hoist me over her shoulders and pack me out) and she was an excellent driver. She was calm and confident. She took all our teasing with very good humour." |
