This tour has been well planned to give guests the best possible experience within the time frame. The coach is very comfortable, and the Coach Captain went out of her way to be helpful while maintaining a very high standard of professionalism. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and look forward to doing a South Island tour with you.

Best coach experience. The coach was really comfortable, great having water on board and loved the seat rotation system. The seats were extremely comfortable, and the large windows made taking photos easy. Single seating a great idea.

Grand Pacific Tours catered for all of our needs and made us feel very welcome. An extremely enjoyable experience. The smaller group was much more personal and the coach extremely comfortable with plenty of room for our belongings.

We have had a fantastic week with Grand Pacific Tours. We enjoyed our fellow travellers, and all got on very well together. Very good meals – the hangi was exceptional. Free time every now and then was appreciated. Appreciated punctual times and clear expectations from our Coach Captain, and the coach was perfect and kept in immaculate condition every day.

This was our second tour with Grand Pacific Tours, and both were terrific. No complaints at all. Worth every dollar! All hotels were great with very friendly and helpful staff. Every attraction was wonderful, well organised and thoroughly entertaining. The Coach Captain was terrific and a brilliant driver of such a spotlessly clean coach. He paid attention to every passenger. His knowledge was amazing, and we have learnt so much about this wonderful country.

I am very happy overall with Grand Pacific Tours and am keen to consider a further tour in New Zealand. 

All accommodations were of a high standard and welcoming. A lovely comfortable coach. Well-kept and organised to make a pleasant journey. Great windows for viewing and taking photos. The single seats an excellent idea. The Coach Captain was very professional, polite, and personable.

This was my first trip to New Zealand. Having heard about how beautiful it is and seen shows on TV to see it all firsthand was fantastic. I could not have asked for a better introduction to New Zealand, so thank you. 

The coach was certainly the ultimate in luxury, very comfortable and smooth ride. All accommodation was easily accessed and very clean. Staff were always very helpful. The standard and quality of the meals was very good and there was plenty of variety as well.

This is our second Grand Pacific tour. We did the South Island a few years ago and that made us decide to use Grand Pacific Tours for the North Island trip. A great company to deal with. The extras including carry bag, toilet bag and a drink bottle - something other tour companies rarely give. A fantastic coach, always clean and comfortable to ride in.

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.
