Being our first coach tour, we were a bit apprehensive, spending many hours comparing Tour Operators and tours. We feel we hit the jackpot, with Global Journeys. Hannah Campbell our consultant was a pleasure to work with, answering any queries promptly, We had perfect weather, (early Feb), John Taylor our Driver was excellent, enhancing our journey read more with his informative commentary as was his humorous guide Garey Deutsher. We had a wonderful group of people on our tour & made some life long friends. Couldn't be happier, we will return but this time no hours on computer, straight to Global Journeys for sure!
Getting to know the South Island 2 Dave & Marilyn, NSW, Australia, Feb 2016
We were impressed with Grand Pacific Tour's itinerary and the knowledge and expertise of the driver/tour leader. The earthquake as we were leaving Christchurch was a surprise!
Every aspect of this tour was first class 4 Bernice Allan, QLD, Australia, Oct 2015
I had a wonderful holiday and every aspect of it was first class. The highlight for me was the 6-hour Dart River Wilderness Safari but all inclusions and other optionals were also excellent. It was great to have everything so ably organised for me by Hannah with a minimum of fuss, especially the flights. I hope to have another holiday next year and read more will certainly contact Global Journeys when I am ready to book it. Thank you
Trip was perfect & we are glad that we did it 1 Siva Sundaralingam, VIC, Australia, Feb 2015
Emily Thanks for organising the tour for us. You were very efficient & answered my emails promptly. The driver/guide John Taylor was excellent. I told him about my travel sickness & when there was a seat vacant in the front, invited me to sit there. It is an example to say how he cared about the travellers. With the accommodation, the hotel rooms read more were warm & may need ceiling fans. Most of us felt this. We the travellers are seniors & in future trips good to have a free day in Dunedin just like in Queenstown. This way we can recover/relax as well. It may worth considering as practically all of us felt it was a full on 7 days. Otherwise the trip was perfect & we are glad that we made the trip.
We had the most enjoyable time on our holiday 4 Margaret Jones, Australia, Mar 2013
We had the most enjoyable time on our holiday. the breakfast, lunches, and dinners surpassed our expectations. The tours each day started at the advertised time and the driver a (Alex Rollinson) had so much knowledge of the history and modern day information that was forwarded onto all the passengers on the magnificent coach. Alex was a very good driver read more and of course that puts security into the travellers minds and they can relax. The hotels that we stayed at were of an extremely high standard and much enjoyment was had with the 'happy hours' where we could mingle with our fellow travellers. Overall I would recommend this tour for anyone looking for a magnificent journey through the South Island of New Zealand where EVERYTHING is already done for you. Just sit back relax, and take in the scenery and information. Thanks Kirby for organising this trip.
Well paced and organised tour, great coach driver 1 Roger Dutton, Australia, Feb 2013
As this was our first coach tour I cannot compare it with others so please bear this in my with my ratings. Overall we very much enjoyed the tour and found it was well organised and paced. Our coach driver had exceptionally local knowledge, a wonderful temperament and sense of humour. We enjoyed compatible fellow travelers and the accommodation and read more meals were very good. The bonus was the uncommonly good and consistent weather throughout the tour.
