Do some coach tours incorporate the TranzAlpine train journey?

Yes, nearly all tours that visit the South Island will include the TranzAlpine Scenic Rail Journey. Not all tours, however, complete the full trip from Greymouth to Christchurch (or v.v.). Many do just Arthurs Pass to Christchurch (or v.v.). All our independent tours which include the TranzAlpine train complete the entire journey.
