Sharon Baker-Davis and Gail Davis, Southern Highlights with Milford Sound, Travelled on 11 Jan 2026

The whole trip was great. Visiting Queenstown was a highlight. A great place to stay for a few days, with an amazing view from the room.

PHILIP & JANE WRIGHT, Grand Pacific 16 Day Signature Highlights, Travelled on 6 Jan 2026

Brilliant well planned tour, great coach captain and leader. The South Island scenery is stunning. We feel we have seen NZ in the 16 days. Queenstown is a great town.
We just had a great time, lovely group of people from Australia, UK, Canada and USA and a tour of one of the nicest countries in the World.

Michael (Mike) & Louise Hayden, 7 Day Southern Gems Extended, Travelled on 16 Jan 2026

The coach trip to and cruise on Milford Sound was stunning and standing on the Tasman Glacier in bright sunshine beneath Mount Cook was a once in a lifetime experience!
Your service was excellent, prompt, and very caring. We’ll definitely be using Fine Tours/New Zealand Coach Tours if and when we return to Aotearoa!

You gave us the best experiences ever, worm caves, cultural nights with excellent food, a hotel over looking the thermal vents, Napier tour with excellent accommodation, Huka falls boat trip,
I truly wish you all the best and hope I can help you as the service you gave was super!

Rosemary Cox & Kenneth Hellmuth, The Ultimate Fiordland Adventure, Travelled on 20 Dec 2025

The Bus drivers were all very personable and informative - That was nice. The beds and accommodation were good + Breakfasts helped us on our way every day. The scenery esp. Mt. Cook and Fiords very impressive. The In-App messaging and updated Itinerary was very helpful. In-App messaging always got a quick reply.

Harshad Lala and Mohit Lala, Harshad's Fiords, Glaciers and Trains, Travelled on 26 Dec 2025

Overall the the entire south Island tour was awesome, really enjoyed every moment. The fox glacier Heli hiking was probably the highlight of our tour, it was a wonderful experience

Graham, Jane, Richard & Wilfred Swingler & Hannah Cunningham, Your Rotorua Adventure!, Travelled on 16 Dec 2025

The Agrodome at Rotorua was probably our best experience because it appealed to all 3 generations in our party. Having said that none of the elements in our itinerary failed to please - so in some respects, the whole trip was the best bit.
A big thank you to Katie Goodman for her patience in putting together an itinerary which met the (conflicting) needs of 3 generations. I appreciate we probably went ‘round the houses’ a couple of times (at least) but ended up having a great time.

Pat Hinds, Bay of Islands Escape, Travelled on 5 Jan 2026

The whole trip was amazing The boat trip was spectacular The day to Cape Reinga was well organised The visit to Waitangi was very special and informative
The motel accommodation was spacious clean and the bed very comfortable The staff friendly and helpful

Lorraine & Allan Nicol, Northern Escape..., Travelled on 24 Dec 2025

The attention to detail regarding all bookings and the fact that I could ring a number and get help immediately regarding a medical problem meant that we had a trouble free experience and a most enjoyable time in NZ.
Kayla and the support team were amazing from the start - we can highly recommend them to anyone

Kevin and Lenore Smith, The Smith's South Island Coast to Coast Explorer, Travelled on 22 Dec 2025

We enjoyed the driving a lot, seeing all the beautiful scenery. The car rental was easy and the car was very nice. We really enjoyed the Doubtful Sound cruise. It was wonderful to drive down from above and be able to see the fiord. We also loved the Lake Matheson Nature Walk.
We LOVED working with Shelby. She was just terrific. We also loved that your team was able to get us a ride from Christchurch airport to our hotel when there was a mix up by the shuttle company. Again, not your fault but you fixed it quickly. Well done! Overall, just a big thank-you to Shelby. She was wonderful!!!

Rajeev Bhaskar & Anija Krishnan Syamala, South Island Scenic Explorer, Travelled on 16 Dec 2025

Almost all of the drivers amazed me with their depth of knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Some actually took time off their breaks to find out answers when they were unsure of certain things. The drivers of the coaches to Mount Cook and Milford Sound deserve special mention.
The upgrade to the Business Class Milford Sound Tour was much appreciated. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the level of care each detail was planned. It should be mentioned that every time I called NZ Coach Tours, it was attended to and the person who attended had been very responsive and understanding.

Kevin Moore & Pingya Li, Grand Pacific Tours 19 Day Ultimate Showcase, Travelled on 2 Dec 2025

It was all quite good and very interesting. We were very fortunate with the weather. Favorites were the Milford Sound cruise and an "Air Safari" near Mt. Cook. Accommodations were excellent, and food was over-the-top...I gained 3 lb! Paul was a superb guide and driver. Skilled, knowledgeable, punctual,l and a good sense of humor. Logistics regarding lodging, luggage, etc. were flawless. Excellent value for the money. You all live in a very beautiful country!
We are very glad we made this trip with Grand Pacific Tours. It was a terrific introduction to New Zealand. I remarked to Paul that, out of the many countries I have visited outside North America, New Zealand is the only one about which I would say, "I would really enjoy living here."

Victoria and Ray Adams, Grand Pacific Tours 19 Day Ultimate Rail, Coach & Cruise, Travelled on 2 Dec 2025

We had high expectations for this trip, and it exceeded those expectations. The whole trip was amazing, from the sunny beaches to the snowy mountains. The people we met, both travelers and New Zealanders, were very friendly and helpful. The coach driver was superb; she had great people skills and a depth of knowledge about the places we went. The coach and driving experience was first class. All meals and rooms were exceptional, and not handling luggage for 3 weeks was a luxury.
Great experience, support for all aspects of the trip from pre-booking research, to booking, trip preparation, arrival, and the tour itself, to departure was flawless and assisted by friendly and knowledgeable people.

Jim & Susan Jensen, Jensen's 5 Day Pre Cruise Tour of the South Island, Travelled on 8 Dec 2025

The parts of the trip we enjoyed the most were the TranZ Alpine train because of the views and the food. Second was the flight back from Milford Sound on a 12-seater sightseeing plane. It was our first such flight ,and we really enjoyed it. We got to take lots of great pictures on both.
We live in the US and it was amazing how easy you made it to work with you planning this trip.

Dawn & Robert Mason, 9 Day Fiords, Glaciers & Trains, Travelled on 4 Dec 2025

We enjoyed the whole experience. The tour guides Jay, Felix, Ashleigh and Lynette were fabulous. They were so knowledgeable and made our trip all the more special. The hotels were well located, the rooms were clean and beds comfortable.
I would highly recommend.

Barbara Sharman & Pat Horton, South Island Scenic Explorer, Travelled on 12 Dec 2025

We had an amazing time in all the cities we visited. The Hobbiton & Te Pa Tu experiences were very enjoyable & we had a good time. The Transalpine Train Journey was Spectacular.

New Zealand is absolutely beautiful so it sells itself but going through New Zealand coach tours took all the stress out of booking our holiday. Everything was covered, there was plenty of travel info & communication was great. Thanks for making our trip an unforgettable experience.
