"At this point, I must thank you so much for the days we spent with you under the Odyssey's banner. Everything you did for us was excellent and the students derived so much from the activities.
We all enjoyed meeting you, loved being with you and enjoyed working with you. I understand how groups can be and I am gratified that you found our group pleasant to work with. We thought you were so well organised, obliging and patient and your lessons with the girls were excellent. Thank you for taking us over the Tongariro Crossing - I never imagined it went up so high. Danielle and Andrew were also excellent guides. I hope we will bring another group in two years time and we will certainly organise whatever we can with you."
