What our clients are saying about their Rail Journey experiences
Our holiday on the Ghan was wonderful. The staff on the train were fantastic and I would give them 10 out of 10. My family and I were in carriage C1 and C2. Hannah is lovely and nothing is too much trouble for her to deal with. I have booked through her before, and definitely will again.
Hassle free holiday, great booking experience as well as a wonderful tour
Japan Discovery
Joanne, Frank, Christine and Gregory, WA, Australia, Mar 2026
What an amazing holiday we had, seamlessly arranged by Hannah from Global Journeys, she is always a pleasure to deal with, prompt and professional. We loved our Japan Discovery tour with Bunnik, it was our first time travelling with them and we were very impressed. Everything was well planned, accomodation was great and we were so lucky with the weather.
Great read more views of Mt Fuji and the cherry blossoms were a highlight, we also loved the mix of planned activities and free time. We loved the small group of 15 and our tour director Takee was amazing, great communication, very knowledgeable and thoughtful. We would definitely use both Global Journeys and Bunnik Tours again.

Checking Off New Zealand on Our Bucket List
Signature Rail, Cruise and Coach
Eric and Barbara, CA, United States, Mar 2026
Going to New Zealand had been on our bucket list for many years, and the trip with Grand Pacific fulfilled all of our expectations. Our tour leader, Peter, and driver, Craig, were a delightful team. The itinerary was packed full and the food and accommodations were first rate. We really appreciated the tour including both North Island and South Island. read more It was like two vacations in one! We also appreciated the periodic free days and dinner times. It afforded us the opportunity to book two independent wine tours during our free time in Auckland and Queensland. We also toured Reccarton House and Bush in Christchurch on our own.
We've been on coaches with more cramped seating and found the smaller coach size - 32 seats - a real treat. Booking through Global Journeys led us to having a lot of Aussies on board. We learned a lot about Australia, which was a bonus. Absolutely nothing negative to say ... great trip!

Beautiful landscape
The Indian Pacific - Perth To Sydney
Debbie and Warwick, NSW, Australia, Dec 2025
Once again Tracey helped us greatly with our booking. Prior to boarding the Indian Pacific at East Perth terminal, canapés and drinks were served on the platform. As it was a hot day it would have been preferred inside the terminal (air conditioned ). Once onboard the staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. Platinum cabin and service was great! read more Food was excellent too. On board entertainment was provided by a singer/musician who played in the various lounges throughout the journey. Excursions taken were excellent: Curious Kalgoorlie, star gazing at Cook, dinner at Seppeltsfield Winery(wonderful food pairing, dinner and musicians), walking tour with Shelita in Broken Hill(very entertaining and tasty canapés provided).
Journey overnight from Adelaide was a bit rocky due to the tracks otherwise the journey was very pleasant. Was a wonderful journey through varying scenery across Australia. Thank you Tracey & Global Journeys for another great holiday.

Ultimate New Zealand tour was fantastic
Ultimate Rail, Cruise and Coach
Karen and Steven, Maryland, United States, Nov 2025
This tour was an excellent way to experience the amazing sights and features of New Zealand. The itinerary was a good balance of popular attractions and lesser-known areas. The coach was very comfortable, and our “coach captain” (driver/guide) was superb.
I loved every moment.
Japan Express – Osaka to Tokyo
Emily and Mary, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Wonderful tour. Japanese 'CEO' was so kind and well organized. She made sure we had a great variety of experiences in and outside of the cities. I loved every moment of my tour.
