An excellent tour. Comfortable coach that was always immaculate. Excellent Coach Captain, good hotels and great meals. 

Nothing but the best. You are the number one company in the game. This was a great tour and really did showcase all the South Island. It was wonderful. 

We chose this tour because it was a small group, and the configuration of the bus was paramount as we are both tall. We also liked the idea of better accommodation and meals. We were very happy with our choice overall. 

This was my first organised group excursion, and it didn't disappoint. I didn't have to stress about anything. It was relaxing and a great way to see such a stunningly beautiful country. 

Great coach, very comfortable and spacious seats. The seat numbering and rotation is a great idea and works well. An excellent Coach Captain who gave a very informative commentary throughout the trip. Hotels were all good and meals delicious and varied. 

A superb choice. We loved every minute. 

The best holiday I have ever had. Such a wonderful tour, great group of people, fantastic scenery and accommodation, but above all that the Coach Captain was the most helpful, friendly, knowledgeable person I have ever had.  

Everything exceeded our expectations. The Coach Captain was fantastic, confident and experienced and made our trip even better. 

Everything was professional, perfectly put together, better than I expected. Nothing was a problem, and everyone just wants to help you. 

We covered many kilometers in style and saw the best that the South Island had to offer. Stunning scenery to behold. The coach standard is exemplary, extremely comfortable. The large windows made it easy to view the beautiful landscape of the South Island. 

A fantastic holiday – well above expectations. 

Best tour experience I have had in my life! The coach was fantastic with single seat each side. Our Coach Captain was very experienced, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She handled luggage transfers so very efficiently – luggage appeared in our room magically and ended up back in the coach without a hitch. Will definitely be joining future tours. 

This was a fantastic tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My first group tour and it exceeded all expectations. Great coach, very comfortable and loved the rotation of the seats. 

Could not fault the quality and enjoyment of this fantastic tour. The coach was so comfortable and luxurious and a fantastic, caring, informative Coach Captain who was always going the extra mile. 

Overall a very positive experience. The Coach Captain made a great contribution, especially on the days with longer drives. She went to great effort to break up the journeys and entertain us. I liked the range of attractions. Everything was timely and as expected. 

It was an amazing trip, and everyone was fantastic, from our Coach Captain to all the staff at hotels, to all the optional extras and the added tours. Meals were fantastic. The coach was immaculate every day, very comfortable, and nice wide easy to use seats. 

Exceeded our expectations tenfold. We felt like royalty. Everything was perfect and would recommend this trip to everyone. The Coach Captain was so informative, and her commentary was fabulous. 

A unique classy, comfortable, and stylish tour of New Zealand with high quality everything. I could not fault it. Meals have been fantastic, so nice not having to cook. The coach was absolute luxury. This was my first coach tour and I feel as though no one else could live up to the very high standards. The bar is set very high for future travel. 

A very comfortable journey with a very informative Coach Captain. All breakfasts and dinners were exceptional. I would definitely recommend this trip to family and friends. 

Excellent itinerary for discovering the South Island. 

We covered vast distances with the plains, coastline, mountain ranges so could really appreciate the South Island. Brilliant accommodation with greetings and wonderful meals. Enjoyed all the attractions and the coach was beyond our expectations – clean at all times and plenty of room.

Well above expectations and will recommend to friends. The coach was outstanding and great accommodation and attractions. The Coach Captain very friendly, informative and a safe driver. He was the surprise package not listed on the brochure or website. A credit to your company. 

This has been the best trip my husband and I have been on, and we have done many. Meals were of a very high standard and the coach excellent. No complaints. The Coach Captain went out of his way to look after everyone, and he made the whole trip excellent.

Thank you Grand Pacific Tours for the trip in a lifetime. Absolutely loved every minute. This tour exceeded our expectations and has been the best tour company we have dealt with. We look forward to one day returning to this stunning part of the world. 

A great and truly relaxing tour of the South Island and showcasing some of the many iconic sites. Everything is absolutely catered for, and nothing is left to chance. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to sit back, relax, and enjoy everything the South Island of New Zealand has to offer.

Very happy with the entire experience. The coach was very clean and comfortable, all included attractions were delightful, and meals were outstanding.

Loved this trip. The coach was great and seats so comfortable. Great to have facilities like fridge and water. The hotels were amazing and really good quality food.  

We can honestly say New Zealand has taken our hearts a little. We have had an amazing holiday and will be recommending to family and friends. 

All accommodation exceeded our expectations, and meals were always to an excellent standard. 

Our coach was always presented immaculately, very comfortable and the seat rotation system was a great idea as we could see from a different perspective and chat with different people every day.

I was already singing the praises of Grand Pacific Tours after touring the North Island and will do the same again after the South Island tour.

All hotels demonstrated very polite, friendly, and excellent prompt service from staff. All meals were above expectations, and very good quality. The Coach Captain was very informative and a true gentleman.

Great tour. We would recommend it to friends and family. The coach was luxurious and comfortable, and the Coach Captain was very knowledgeable, kind, caring, and a very safe driver.  

We chose this tour to see the South Island without the hassle of driving, but with a small group. The coach was always kept clean and very comfortable. We loved the single seats and the roomy area. The Coach Captain was extremely helpful and went out of his way to help his clients. 

We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 

An amazing trip, accommodation, meals, and attractions. It was great that we were always seated first for meals. 

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.

Overall experience day after day - wow! The Coach Captain was an exceptionally safe driver and Tour Leader. The accommodation, meals and attractions visited exceeded expectations. The coach was fabulous, presentation and standard exceptional. Great value for money. 

There is not one thing that I have not enjoyed. The wow factor continued for the whole trip. A great variety of meals, all to a very high standard. I had a fantastic time. 

I have travelled extensively and would rate this as one of the best tours I have taken. The coach was the most comfortable I have ever travelled on. The Coach Captain was the most competent driver and guide I have experienced. She was extremely knowledgeable, and a very safe driver. I enjoyed every aspect of the tour. 

Over the nine days of our New Zealand touring, we have been pampered at every stage from airport pick up to drop off. The places we visited were awesome. It is a trip we would not have been able to achieve without the planning and knowledge of Grand Pacific Tours. 

The total experience was first class. We were so glad we chose Grand Pacific Tours to see the South Island. So many places were on our bucket list and Grand Pacific Tours made sure we were not disappointed. The mix of experiences was just right, and the length of the tour was about right too. We rate this as one of our best ever travel experiences. 

This delightful tour was a feast for the eyes - gorgeous everywhere we looked – and the stomach – lots of yummy food, “wine time”, and bus stops for coffee – just perfect. We had a wonderful nine days, enjoyed the company of everyone on the tour and had the perfect spring weather. Wow, thank you Grand Pacific Tours, you captured it all. Well done! 

We cannot fault the Ultimate 10-day South Island Tour. The tour exceeded our expectations and has provided us with a memorable experience. All the people on our tour were a pleasure to meet and travel with, making it a treasured holiday. 

Our Coach Captain was outstanding. Her approach was highly professional, and she provided a wealth of information on NZ history, environment, and culture. She was always available and very polite in interacting with everyone on the tour. 

Should probably be a 10 – at times the weather wasn’t great – but who can control that? More rain – more waterfalls – so that’s okay. We had a wonderful holiday – thank you. 

I’m claustrophobic – the space of the coach didn’t pose a threat for me at all – wonderful. Very comfortable and spacious. The idea of single seats on each side is very clever. It was very clean too.

I highly recommend it. The Coach Captain was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and had outstanding New Zealand driving experience. She made the holiday a great one and was a fantastic fun person too! 

First ever coach tour and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 

All the hotels were fantastic, meals and service exceptional. The Coach Captain was both informative and entertaining. She made sure we were all very well catered for. 

Excellent – 100%. The coach was very comfortable, liked the seat rotation every day and big windows ideal for taking photos. The Coach Captain was fantastic, very knowledgeable and had a great personality. The meals were amazing, tasty food and awesome variety.

I absolutely loved it. My first coach trip and I loved the big windows, comfortable seats, side bench for storage and water bottle. The coach was always clean inside and out. Meals were excellent at every place, buffet & fixed menu – all were fantastic. The included attractions were well organised, and the venues were interesting and extremely relevant to our tour of the South Island. 

Our small group tour was great, with plenty of room on the coach to relax. The Coach Captain was an excellent driver, and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great bunch of people to tour the South Island with. 

I am very pleased with my experience with Grand Pacific Tours. They were very professional and had thought of every possible aspect of the holiday. 

Absolutely, positively great! An exemplary Coach Captain and an immaculate and very comfortable coach. 

A wonderful experience with great variety. The coach and Coach Captain were exceptional. Accommodation was fantastic, large rooms, beautiful amenities and excellent food and service.

Excellent tour which exceeded our expectations. The best coach ever and a very knowledgeable Coach Captain with a good sense of humour. 

The tour was more than I expected. Right from booking to pick up at the airport in New Zealand, our hotels and staff from Grand Pacific Tours were very professional and listened to our needs. I couldn’t recommend them more highly and wish they were doing the ultimate tours in Australia. 

We chose this tour based on the promise of expert driving, outstanding accommodation, excellent food, and an enjoyable scenic New Zealand experience. We were not disappointed in any way. Fabulous.

What an experience, we loved every minute of it. We really enjoyed the activities, and the quality and variety of the meals was excellent. We were very impressed with the modern and roomy coach and could not fault the Coach Captain. He had a vast knowledge of all areas of the tour and was an excellent driver. Everything went like clockwork.

Well done from start to finish! All the hotels and meals were wonderful, and the coach was fabulous. Really comfortable and always clean and tidy. It was a great way to travel.

I would definitely be happy to travel with Grand Pacific Tours again and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to my friends.

I have never been so comfortable on a coach and will definitely travel with Grand Pacific Tours again. 

A wonderful experience with an amazing Coach Captain.

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

This is the second time we have done this tour. That should speak for itself. Wonderful! Every day better than the last.

The whole tour was absolutely perfect. This coach is the best and most luxurious I have ever been involved with. The looks, seating and layout – congratulations to all involved. 

The Coach Captain (Paul) was wonderful. The accommodation and meals were wonderful. The other guests on the tour were just beautiful people and so much fun. The tour itself was absolutely spectacular!!!

I have been on a number of tours – London to Rome, back road tours of Scotland and Ireland and this tops them all – the seat roster is brilliant!

Very enjoyable – loved our first trip to New Zealand. Couldn’t have been better. Thank You.

Just what I wanted – This was First Class Touring at its best. Very clean, neat and tidy. Fantastic!

Pristine condition! Comfort – outstanding. Didn’t matter where we were sitting, completely unimpeded views. Seat rotation worked well.

You have set the standard pretty high – I’ll be plugging your tours to all. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

I would recommend this company to anyone looking to tour NZ – absolutely first-class! Enjoyed every minute.

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.
