An amazing trip, accommodation, meals, and attractions. It was great that we were always seated first for meals.
H.N. & S.N. New Zealand
We were treated very well. It was terrific not to have to arrange accommodation, meals, tickets, transfers etc. All done for us. I know we paid for it, but it was still wonderful to have it arranged so well. I am going to rave about this Ultimate Tour to my similar aged friends. We met some wonderful people on this tour also.

This was the adventure of a lifetime! It was wonderful to travel around carefree on a luxurious and comfortable motor coach with no worry about all the details of where to stay, where to eat, what to see, but we still had time for native walks, shopping and lots of photo stops.
Being a small group, we all had time to really get to know each other as friends and share the experience.

I loved the single seat coach. It made a huge difference to the holiday and was always immaculate. The Coach Captain was very knowledgeable, friendly, and organised all passenger requirements professionally.
Meals were all beautifully presented, well organised, the quality of food was great and there were options for all.
J.T. Australia
This tour provided us with an opportunity to revisit parts of New Zealand we had previously seen and experience new areas, especially Doubtful Sound, which we loved.

A truly unforgettable holiday that showed the contrast between the North and South Islands. It was lovely to have everything organised for me. The coach was always clean and tidy and seats were very comfortable.

The coach was excellent to view the landscapes of New Zealand with nice big windows. The coach was always kept very clean and tidy and having a fridge and drinking water was very good.

J.A. & S.A. Australia
It was the first coach tour we had done, and it was fabulously comfortable, well laid out and we will be hard pressed to find better service with anyone else.
Meals were as expected from top class hotels. A wonderful relaxing coach tour in a beautiful country.

The coach was perfect and so comfortable. Great Coach Captain, great driver, great personality. 10+ stars. All included attractions were excellent, but I have to say the Te Puia geysers and Hangi was the highlight.
A.B. Australia
Excellent – exceeded my expectations. Grand Pacific Tours showed me the best New Zealand could offer and it was an unforgettable experience. There was never a dull moment. Thank you so much.
The Coach Captain was one in a million. The coach was the best - spacious, clean, and quiet and comfortable. Plus, you could see through the front windows. Could not have been better.

B.H. & B.H. Australia
A professionally run tour offering superb comfort, great hotels, and inclusions. Meals were excellent, presentation and quality were great.

I.B. United Kingdom
For me this is a once in a lifetime tour and Grand Pacific Tours has done it in style.
My whole concept of NZ has changed as I marvel at the friendliness of the people, the beauty of the landscape and the wonderful activities on offer. We have sailed halfway around the country, travelled on a luxury coach from North to South and rode the train from South to North. Have covered most options and totally satisfied. Thanks GPT!
K.K. Australia
A wide variety of experiences much appreciated. Our comfort was always put above all. First in line to be served, best service ever. Small group of similar ages: PERFECT. Will recommend to everyone.
K.P. & J.P. United States
Have done a cruise around NZ which was fantastic but didn’t see enough of the land. Knew we had to come back and booked this tour within weeks of our return so we could experience much more of this wonder country by coach.
C.C. & D.E. Australia
The small group size and our excellent driver made for a very memorable experience we will never forget.

The scenery was breathtaking and the weather was perfect. A very enjoyable trip thanks to excellent organisation. Thank you.
I.C. Australia
I will be recommending this tour to friends and family. A quality experience and great support from the company.
P.C. & A.C. Australia
The value and scope of the tour is extraordinary, every attention is given to passenger comfort and preference. The single seat configuration was the initial attraction for me. It is spacious and very comfortable, allows for privacy/quiet. I would certainly highly recommend Ultimate. Excellent and comfortable hotels. I preferred the smaller ones – more character and charm.
M.M. Australia
I was very impressed! Wasn’t sure what to expect coming alone but it’s been good – Grand Pacific Tours you have mastered it!
N.P. United Kingdom
A wonderful, memorable experience over New Years, I’ll be telling family and friends they really must do it.

M.C. & G.C. Australia
This has been a fantastic tour enabling me to see the best of New Zealand in a relaxed, comfortable way. My knowledge of New Zealand has been vastly expanded and being in a small group has made it more special. So pleased I chose this tour; the coach, train rides, cruising – all excellent.
M.D. United Kingdom
Truly memorable – once in a lifetime dream realised – thank you!
D.S. United Kingdom
Very pleased with the experience as I had not been to NZ before and I found this GPT tour was a relaxing way to do it - appropriately spaced comfort stops. Loved the fact that in most places – tables, seats etc were reserved for our GPT group.
G.U. United Kingdom
Man that’s business class touring!!! Always clean and fresh – was just expecting a blinged up Hi Ace Bus!
World Class driver/tour director, world class coach and world class country. You cannot loose! I really enjoyed this tour. Oohh! World class tour company also. I was impressed by Head Office ability to quickly arrange alternate accommodation after flooding of the West Coast. It was very evident Head Office staff support their fellow staff out in the field.

D.T. & K.T. Australia
A great trip, well organised, quality of hotels and meals were great. Best of all we had a very knowledgeable Coach Captain and the best coach. Great driver and very people orientated. We love the single seat and the business class type set up on the coach. Should bring this concept to go around the world.
C.S. Australia
Very comfortable coach. Outstanding driver/guide. Everything went so smoothly – whole tour was so easy. ALL of our fellow travellers were great company to share the experience with. Pace of tour was very comfortable.
S.B. Australia

C.H. United Kingdom
We were attracted to the small group tour, the itinerary and the included attractions – plus a little bit of luxury!!!

My husband and I have travelled twice before with Grand Pacific Tours on 19 Day trips, but this was our first time on the Ultimate coach and we fully appreciated all the points of difference.
D.B. & D.B. Australia
We enjoyed our holiday immensely. It was our first coach tour and we loved how we got to know most of the other travellers which would not have been so easy in a large group. We loved the seat rotation too. Plenty of breaks between destinations was another plus. Everything was well organised, down to the smallest details.
A.S. & R.S. Australia
This was my first guided coach tour of New Zealand and even though I am an ex Kiwi I have loved every day. Everything we have seen and done made all the most memorable by our coach captains and tour leader.
