Kiwi to the Core
Definitely the B&R Trip Designer with the cutest accent, this native Kiwi loves nothing more than showing off his stomping grounds: he's been our (wildly popular) New Zealand expert for 11+ years. But beware: Rob's sincere, open, heart-onsleeve journeys have left many misty-eyed.

There have been great moments, and there have been scary moments. I think one that stands out was being caught with my co-guide in the middle of Christhchurch, New Zealand when the huge earthquake hit.

Accolades
I don't think I've ever had more fun than I had with Rob in New Zealand. The spectacular scenery. The insider access. The laughs! It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But the best part was the feeling that, even though I was half a world away from where I live, I felt totally at home.
— Jack BattenFrom the second I heard Rob's accent on the phone, I knew he'd be the perfect person to introduce us to New Zealand. Fortunately, he didn't disappoint. From the wine to the riding and all of the incredible vistas in between, the trip he designed for us was incredible from start to finish.
