Moira “Mo”

Tour Escort & Coach Driver | New Zealand & Australia

Moira Sullivan — known to everyone as Mo — is one of those rare people who can navigate a mountain pass, calm a nervous traveller, and make everyone laugh… all before morning tea.

As a trusted tour escort and coach driver for Travel With Lesley Whyte, Mo operates across New Zealand and Australia, bringing together expert driving skills, calm leadership, and a genuine love of people and places. Whether she’s steering a coach through alpine roads, remote outback highways, or winding coastal routes, you’ll always feel safe, supported, and well looked after.

Mo has a natural way of making guests feel at ease. She’s known for her quiet confidence, great local knowledge, and the ability to read a group — knowing when to share stories, when to give space, and when it’s time for a spontaneous photo stop “because the light’s just perfect.”

For Mo, driving is only part of the job — hosting, caring, and connecting are just as important.
