Discover New Zealand Touring Holiday Reviews

Christina was extremely helpful, patient, accomodating a real pleasure to deal with, a wonderful example of warm kiwi hospitality

Emily-Rose was really wonderful to work with. She was responsive and helpful and I felt cared for and secure in our decisions. Traveling to a foreign country can be a bit intimidating (even when they speak English!) but Emily-Rose made all the plans work beautifully and helped us feel excited and not anxious at all! The trip was wonderful and I hope we can come back again one day. Thank you!

Our holiday was amazing. Ella Stalker our travel consultant was amazing nothing was ever a problem. Everything she organised for us was seamless-we had the most beautiful holiday. We will certainly be recommending you guys and Ella to our friends.

Lisa was superb from start to finish. And although we never met, by the end of the holiday she felt like the 5th member of our tour. I cant recommend her enough.

Vickie, you are SENSATIONAL, you took the time to understand our likes and dislikes whilst on holiday. You communicated with us on all aspects frequently and noting was ever too hard. Thanks so much for booking us the trip we had an AMAZING time! Everything was perfectly planned, communication was easy via the app, email and via phone even our unexpected detour was fun.

Everything worked perfectly. Transfers all showed up on time and people were helpful. Tours were excellent as were hotels. Particularly enjoyed the Masonic Art Deco in Napier and the CityLife in Wellington. Katie Goodman was very helpful and responded to any and all questions in a timely manner. Wonderful trip.

A great tour seeing some amazing places. We had to make a few changes due to weather conditions but the guide tried to make the best of it.

The South Island is just stunning, stunning, stunning. The highlight was the Franz Josef helli flight, a never to forget experience. Janette really knows her stuff, nothing was too much effort for her, the add-ons were all amazing. The itinerary was seamless and the app spot on. Glad we pushed back on Europcar Queenstown with the EV vehicle, way too many issues trying to recharge on a trip like ours. Europcar Christchurch were excellent. The dining experience at the Scenic Hotel Punakaiki was terrible, numerous other guests also complained. We still had to pay for a very, very ordinary meal. The transfer company you use in Christchurch are the best we have had worldwide. Your country is amazing and we'll be sure to use Discover New Zealand on our next New Zealand holiday. Thank you Janette.

Our 17 day self drive tour around the South Island exceeded all our expectations. Everything Harriet organised went off without a hitch which made it so much more enjoyable. Thanks Harriet, we had a fantastic time.

We found New Zealand to be a very clean and welcoming place. We enjoyed all the tours and found that the cab and tour bus drivers were extremely helpful. Big shout out to Martin from the cab company and Craig our wine tour driver for going above and beyond to make sure we got into our accommodation before leaving us without a way to access our room. Martin even made a second trip back to us to return my cane which I had left in his cab. So very kind! Loved the wine tour. Best lunch ever experienced on a tour. Fantastic food and venue! The boat ride through The Hole in the Rock was awesome. We highly recommend this tour to other visitors. Emily-Rose and her team were always available to answer questions and give recommendations. We all really appreciated their fast response time when we had a question or a concern. All were very polite and professional. Our only negative was the bus ride to Paihia and back. Too long, bumpy and uncomfortable. We all would recommend an express bus or a van booked with other clients to make this a better experience.

A superb visit, giving us a wonderful tour of New Zealand. Everything slotted into place perfectly, with smooth efficiency and friendly service, including from your transit agents. By way of constructive feedback, I’d mention that Scenic Hotels in Queenstown has difficult on-site vehicle access and insufficient car parking; but we have no other “criticism”. And it was a great pleasure to be able to meet and thank you in person in Wanaka.

The tour was great, the train an amazing way to see the country and the service first class. Sabina was extremely helpful and gave excellent suggestions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her in the future.

We loved the entire trip. A high light was the rainforest hike. The guide was amazing, informative and obviously loved his work. Ella from the first time we messaged you, you were so helpful as we navigated doing this tour. Thank you for your friendliness and for managing the details of 3 ladies staying in one room. You did an exceptional job and we will definitely recommend you and your company. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Grand Pacific Tours Ultimate trip on the North Island. Everything was fantastic and would like to thank Louise Barrett for her expertise and help with all my questions.

Aside from an issue with the vehicle supplied by Europcar, the itinerary and accommodations were excellent, as were all the excursions organised for us. We loved the flexibility of the self-drive which allowed us to detour to see things that interested us. We found interesting places like Waikite Valley Hot Pools near Rotorua and stopped at every lookout. One of our favourite places was Paihia and the Bay of Islands, and the excursion to Walter Peak Station was wonderful. We would like to return to New Zealand again to go to some of the places we missed.
