What our clients are saying about their small group touring experiences
Ultimate South Island Ultimate South Island , QLD, Australia, Jan 2026
After a disappointing start (nobody met me at the airport when I arrived) the tour was fantastic. Good quality hotels, great food, excellent driver/guide and plenty of optional trips to choose from.
Morocco from North to South Morocco North and South: Mountain Villages and Ancient Kasbahs , TX, United States, Jan 2026
Touring Morocco itself was a wonderful experience and the two guides, Sofia and Rachid were both extraordinary. There were disappointments with some of GAdventures administrative and tour processes. Ours was a "Geluxe" tour yet you had to buy your own water at the included meals is one example. I've been on many tours with various companies and never read more not had water provide during the meals, especially in a country where they tell you not to drink the tap water.
Awesome tour seeing key sites, worry free, knowledgeable friendly driver, steady itinerary   Ultimate South Island , WA, Australia, Jan 2026
We booked this tour after a friend recommended Grand Pacific tours. Global Journeys and another vendor came up as the nominated booking agents, I reached out to both. I am so pleased I booked with Global Journeys. From my first interaction with Grace everything was effortless. Grace took the time to understand my travelling needs, my family composition read more and was upfront with what was included as well as what to expect. I live in regionally WA and Grace even arranged for our tour information and paperwork to arrive early given it was over the festive season and mail is slow where I live. It arrived in perfect time!

The tour Ultimate South Island of NZ was brilliant. We saw key highlights in all the areas, and had time to explore as well as plenty of optional tours available if we chose. We booked the helicopter flight over the glaciers and had the opportunity to land in and spend time in fresh snow. We also were lucky enough to see Mt Cook, the weather was favourable. The glow worm caves were another highlight, as was the jet boat experience. Our tour guide Dave was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. He grew up in Dunedin so was well versed in everything the South Island had to offer. The coach was incredibly comfortable and , and the hotels on point, everything was organised and effortless for us. Highly recommend Global Journeys and Grand Pacific, cannot wait to book our next trip!
Morocco with a view New Year's in Morocco , MD, United States, Dec 2025
Morocco has a lot to offer. The people are wonderful, the scenery was just stunning. We had sunshine, snow, wind and a little rain and was even blessed with a rainbow in the desert. I can’t say enough about our guide Omar. He was able to answer all of our questions, he treated us to local music and displayed his musical talents. If there was any read more issues he was always there to fix them. It was a great trip.
Great Christmas Experience   Ultimate Festive Season , QLD, Australia, Dec 2025
Our tour leader/driver Todd was fantastic. He had a great sense of humour who was able to entertain a bus full of Aussies. Todd made every effort to ensure everybody was able to visit the additional attractions they had nominated. The comfort on the coach was exceptional. Well paced covering both the North and South Island. Lots to see and do. All hotels read more were of a high standard and all meals provided allowed for every bodies diet requirements. Delicious! Highlight of the tour for us was landing in the snow.
South New. Zealand Xmas Tour Ultimate South Island Christmas , QLD, Australia, Dec 2025
Although this holiday was advertised as " luxury" I didn't expect too much. Boy! Was I wrong. All of the hotels were beautiful and had good rooms. The coach was luxurious. A full size coach but with 20 single seats each with its own console. Extra touches like a water bottle, headphones and mints. In addition to a toilet, a cold filtered water tap! read more Our cachdriver and tour guide (Chris) was friendly and knowledgeable. Travelling through the beautiful landscape was effortless, even the longer days. A well organised tour with a few minor Irritations( arriving at 8:30 am to find the museum closed). I would have loved to stay 2 nights in all the stops overs! A beautiful holiday.
