I enjoyed my holiday and made new friends, am keeping in contact with one in particular. The accommodation and assistance due to my limited eyesight was fantastic and am unable to fault any part of my holiday including flights and help at both Sydney, Auckland and Christchurch airports. Thank you.

I had a wonderful holiday and felt very well looked after for the entire time. The coach driver and tour guide were not only very knowledgeable but also very friendly and approachable. The accommodation was excellent as were the meals and the optional excursions catered for all tastes. I have already completed a positive review of the services provided read more by the tour operator, Grand Pacific, and would recommend the tour to others. It was my first experience in arranging overseas travel and felt my experience with Global Journeys was very positive and convenient with any enquiries promptly answered. I look forward to further travel experiences and will certainly ensure my first port of call for enquiries is with Global Journeys.
Just wanted to let you know that our trip was fantastic. The Ultimate Coach was great and our driver Linda, even better! All the accommodation was very good and the staff treated us like royalty! The scenery on the South Island was stunning, we were all amazed at how beautiful the countryside was. Thank you for your organisation, everything went smoothly read more with no hiccups. We would like to see the North Island too so we'll be in touch sometime next year.
The tour was excellent, very professional guides. All very good hotels, food, drivers and the fellow travellers.
It was a fabulous holiday and trip, the driver was knowledgeable, entertaining and fun to be with, our group was lovely. The places chosen were tops, Bay of Islands was just a dream, we were lucky, it was sunny on our Catamaran cruise day, heaven. If any very tiny suggestions, the rooms in Wellington were a fraction small and some of the room heating read more systems were not really adequate, these factors did not detract from what was a wonderful time. Thank you for your efforts in providing us with a lovely time.
Enjoyed our trip, Tour Guides excellent, accommodation top class, tour pace a little hectic, however if you want to see all the attractions then you have to expect this. Overall would recommend.
My husband and I did this trip in April 2015 and both had a wonderful time. There wasn't a day when we felt disappointed at what we saw or where we were taken. There were so many highlights that made the tour so memorable. Breaking up the time spent on the coach with rail trips and cruises as well as free time to do your own thing or take up the offer read more of optional extras was a great balance and added variety to the trip. I would highly recommend travelling with Grand Pacific. The two drivers and tour guide were helpful, caring and professional. I would also recommend Global Journeys their organisation of the trip made for a hassle free holiday.
The attractions were first class 4

Barry & Sandra McKiernan , NSW, Australia, Apr 2015
Grand Pacific coaches were very comfortable and clean. The tour drivers were professional, knowledgeable and both had a great sense of humour. The Tour Guide was always there for advice and solutions to any problems. Accommodation was of superior quality and the meals were very nice. The attractions were first class with our favourites being The Bay read more of Islands Cruise to the Hole in the Rock, Hobbiton, the TranzAlpine Railway and the Maori Hangi in Rotorua.
Highlight was the helicopter over Franz Josef Glacier 2
Signature Highlights
J & S, WA, Australia, Mar 2015
My highlight was going on the helicopter over Franz Josef Glacier, and landing on the snow. The pilot did not give us any commentary though which spoiled it a bit. The mountains were beautiful and the Maori Haka was fantastic.
We really enjoyed our tour. Everything ran smoothly and both our Coach Captains were very professional and informative. All venues were very good and the optional extras enjoyable. Thank you Georgie at Global Journeys for your help in booking our trip.
Extremely happy with Hannah and all the preparations for the tour. The tour itself was very good and very well organised. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Trip was perfect & we are glad that we did it 1
Signature South Island
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.
A wonderful tour which gives you a great taste for New Zealand, and all the fantastic sights and delights on offer. A great taster tour, leaving you with the appetite to return. Coach Drivers were all warm, wonderful and caring of all of their passengers. Beware, if you are looking for a restful holiday, coach touring may not be for you, early mornings read more on most days allowed the miles to be covered and the sights to be seen, but a couple of later starts would have been appreciated. If you get the opportunity to have a couple of hours rest and you are feeling weary, take the rest, you will enjoy everything so much more. Coaches were comfortable, clean and the accommodation was very well located.
A fantastic holiday - thanks to Global Journeys for everything being so well organised and running perfectly. Our coach drivers were fantastic and provided us with so much information and made the whole trip really fun. I think I can speak on behalf of our entire coach of travellers to say it was fantastic, so thanks again.
Bay of Islands not to be missed 2
Signature North Island
Janet & Colin Malone, VIC, Australia, Jan 2015
Bay of Islands was the highlight of the tour and not to be missed! Great location. Other accommodation was basic. Wi fi was expensive after the initial offer and slow to download! Excellent coach driver Russell who included some extra information and detours to the trip. Confusion at airport as flights were delayed but taxi company helped us out for read more transfers! Strange sheet policy in New Zealand, no ironing, beds looked unclean???? Good mix of people but joining the group halfway through the tour seemed a disadvantage. Some very interesting museums etc, places you might not thought of visiting were included! We liked the natural, ruggedness of the North Island but as everyone on the tour said the South Island was the best we should like to return to see for ourselves and take advantage of your offer in the near future. Thank you for organising a memorable holiday and would recommend Global Journeys to others.
Absolutely fabulous trip!!!! November weather was perfect. Good company, good food, good accommodation and great scenery. So great I'm doing it all again just in case I missed something. I'll be booking with Global Journeys as I did last time as they provide excellent service as do Grand Pacific. I have the winning combination so then it's up to me to relax and enjoy myself.
Had a great time. Everything went well. Fellow travellers good mix and great fun. Would recommend Grand Pacific as a first class operator . Many thanks to Hannah who made it all so easy.
