Tours |
AGRITOUR designs all types of tours to meet your particular requirements - agricultural, horticultural, garden, forestry, rural and special-interest tours. We do not offer standard or scheduled tours within New Zealand - each programme is specially tailored. AGRITOUR does initiate tours for New Zealand farmers to travel overseas based on our extensive knowledge of our own industries and the international scene. The scope and depth of AGRITOUR'S tours are illustrated here by the outlines of some of our programmes. The success of AGRITOUR'S tours is proven by what our clients have to say. We quote from overseas tour co-ordinators, group participants and individuals; along with New Zealand farmers who have travelled overseas with AGRITOUR. |
