Most enjoyable experience. Everything went to plan. Always left and arrived on time. Coach was driven very safely. Places included to stay and activities to do in each area gave us a fantastic overview of New Zealand. Hotels all up to good standards and personnel very obliging. Very happy with the variety, freshness and quality of all food provided. Fully recommend the company.

This was our first group tour. A pleasure - all 19 days. The coach was joy and a pleasure to step aboard each day. We could not ask for anything better. Would not hesitate to recommend Grand Pacific Tours to family and friends.

Enjoyed New Zealand greatly. Unique experiences, beautiful scenery, and the coach was clean and comfortable. Some coach travel days in the South Island were very long days, tiring but worth it! All hotels provided a very good quality of food. A good selection of optional activities to cover everyone’s tastes and needs.

Definitely one of the best group tours we've done! We feel as though we have seen all the best New Zealand has to offer. We've been busy but have had enough free time to catch our breath. The group was great and the Coach Captain and Tour Leader just fabulous. Highly recommended.

One of the best touring holidays I have been on. Well planned, well timed, on time, good commentary, some laughs, and good company. The Tour Leader and Coach Captain were well matched. They made the trip special. 

The coach was comfortable, well presented, and windows were washed. The Coach Captain drove well and there were plenty of stops.

My first coach tour but definitely not my last. A great way to be introduced to touring. Also, a great way to see many sights over large distances. Great variety of travel and comfortable – coach, rail, and boat. Great team, great group. I highly recommend it.

A wonderful comprehensive tour of the North and South Islands. The activities were varied and the optionals gave good choices. All accommodation was excellent and a good mix of a-la-carte and smorgasbord meals. The coach was clean and well-presented, and the extra leg room was good. Both the Tour Leader and Coach Captain made us feel welcome and dealt professionally with any queries.

Wonderful experience. First coach tour and glad we picked Grand Pacific Tours to do it with. 

The Coach Captain was very informative and had a good sense of humour. He was a careful driver and a pleasure to travel with. The Tour Leader was a wonderful guide and organiser and always on hand to help when needed.

We chose this tour as it offered a variety of locations; different modes of transportation (coach, train, ferry, ship); it covered both islands; had a manageable number of participants and a few “on your own days.” 

We were very pleased with our choice of Grand Pacific Tours and will recommend them to friends and family.

There was not a lot that we did not see in the 19 days. A very broad overview of both North and South Islands. Culture in the North – excellent, scenery in the South – superb. 

The coach was very comfortable, always clean inside and out and I liked the seat rotation system. The Coach Captain was informative and knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and come alive.

We don’t normally travel on coach tours; however Grand Pacific Tours came highly recommended by several acquaintances. Hotels were very good quality; meals were much better than we expected. The standard was very high, and variety was very good. 

The included activities were excellent, varied, interesting, fun, and probably more comprehensive than if we had done this holiday on our own. Very informative.

A well-run tour and staff extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The Coach Captain was extremely knowledgeable and never failed to amaze us with his information along the way. The coach was excellent – tip top condition and always clean.  

I would certainly recommend this tour to family and friends and if money and time allows would do it again!
