Guarantees of travelling SOLO with GPT

Travelling solo can seem like a daunting prospect with some questions coming to mind like - will I meet like-minded people? Will I be able to enjoy experiences with others? Will I get my own space to decompress? Will I feel safe? 

 

Grand Pacific Tour’s SOLO Travellers tours are designed to alleviate all these concerns and provide you with the holiday of a lifetime. With the solo adventurer in mind, GPT’s tours allow individuals to enjoy the beauty of solo travelling, while also benefiting from the company and convenience of group travel. 

 

See below three points that address the main concerns of a solo traveller and how, through years of experience, GPT makes travelling alone a seamless & enjoyable journey. 

GPT guarantees there will always be a friendly face when you need one. 

 

 

Starting with our Professional Coach Captains and Experienced Tour Leaders (Tour Leaders on Signature Tours only), GPT have chosen individuals who not only know New Zealand like the back of their hand, but will immediately make you feel at ease. Offering wonderful knowledge & commentary of your surrounds, assistance in breaking the ice with your fellow travellers, plus a helping hand whenever you need, you can relax knowing there is a dependable friendly face ensuring you are comfortable and happy throughout the entirety of your trip. 

 

 

With the guidance from your GPT crew, there will also be ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and meet the locals (talk about friendly faces!). Travelling with an open heart and mind will invite the beauty of New Zealand to shine, allowing a space for you to create a special connection to the land and the people.

 

 

No group tour would feel complete without your fellow like-minded travellers. GPT constantly hear of lifelong friendships blossoming on tour, a beautiful result from sharing unique memories with others. The daily seat rotation on the coach ensures you get to know everyone, allowing you to expand your network and gain new perspectives. 

 

In addition, special extras such as reserved seating at restaurants will ensure you never dine alone and have lots of opportunities to bond with each other over beautiful New Zealand produce. Plus also enjoy a dedicated Welcome Dinner on your first night and a Farewell dinner on your last night.

 

To allow for communication with your fellow travellers before and after your tour, a Facebook group will be set up so you can introduce yourselves, ask any questions & continue to share your wonderful travel photos long after your tour ends.
