Ultimate South Island Ultimate South Island , NSW, Australia, Apr 2026
Ultimate South Island NZ came highly recommended to us by a previous traveller. It was everything she described and so much more. Seamless booking with Hannah from Global Journeys, who is always a delight to work with. There really is nothing in the world like the South Island. Dramatic, untamed and breathtaking. Travelling through the rugged, pristine read more wilderness was profoundly peaceful, like being in paradise. Late April was a perfect time, as outside the main tourist season, with snow capped peaks, trees transitioning to Autumn colours, crisp air and sunshine every day.

Grand Pacific took care of every detail with the tour well curated, organised and communicated. Our coach driver/tour guide Linda was outstanding, highly knowledgeable, personable and humorous. Luxury coach and premium accommodation, with delicious food throughout the tour. Lovely group of fellow travellers and small enough to not feel crowded. With a lot to see, there is a fair amount of travel everyday. Would highly recommend!
Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges , QLD, Australia, Apr 2026
Well arranged tour allows you to see & experience from the Flinders Ranges to the outback. The extended flights over Lake Eyre & the Diamantina to Birdsville were spectacular. Unique opportunity now to see the Lake Eyre in flood & desert in bloom.
Ultimate Italy Adventure Ultimate Italy , AB, Canada, Apr 2026
This was our first time travelling with a tour group and it was amazing!!! The pace of this tour is perfect and the small group size allows for lots of hanging out together and enjoying each others company.

Our guide Gabor and support vehicle driver Zoran were excellent. The cycle tour was challenging read more with the length of time in the saddle, but beautiful scenery and an opportunity to explore the cities where we stayed made the trip memorable. Our accommodations were excellent. We highly recommend the adventure.

Our trip flowed smoothly from the moment we landed in Colombo. The people of Sri Lanka were gentle, charming and eager to ensure our experiences were memorable. Our accommodation was superb throughout the trip and food and services were first rate.
