Excellent tour of New Zealand (North and South Islands) by coach and rail
Excellent and responsive team. We worked with Gary, who had been round New Zealand and knew all the locations. He organised our Premium Economy seats and arranged for our outward flight to take place one week earlier, as we had arranged to spend a week with friends near Auckland before joining the tour group. He also helped us sort out our NZ visas on line.
One thing we had not tumbled to was that the tour provider was Grand Pacific. But GP was extremely well organised; we had an excellent tour leader for the whole trip and our coach driver (and guide) was quite exceptional, making the journeys memorable and enjoyable.
I did wonder whether it would have been cheaper to book direct with GP, but this is a niggle.
The premium economy flights were a godsend; I am 6ft 2in and the second leg home from Hong Kong (14+hours) would have been horrible without the extra legroom.
Overall we had an amazing holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it all.
