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.
