This was a full-on itinerary but worth the effort. We really experienced New Zealand in all its glory. The tour was well organised, the guides and Tour manager were excellent. We recommend Great Rail Journeys, this was our 9th holiday with them.

Wonderful trip, well organised and numerous beautiful places visited. Tour guide and drivers made the trip even more special by taking us to exceptional viewpoints on the way. Fellow travellers were also a great bunch of people. This was our first trip with GRJ, it won't be our last.

Our first experience of Great Rail Journeys and we were not disappointed. A full on tour of a wonderful clean and friendly country, Excellent tour manager and tour drivers. Well planned itinerary, the only disappointment was we didn't get to see Christchurch due to the hotel being in the suburbs and late arrivals and early starts the next day. If you are travelling all those miles then you need to see most of the country which you managed to do for us. Would definitely recommend GRJ.
