Historically, their travellers have come from the Canterbury region, however recent years have seen an ever-expanding client base from all over New Zealand and overseas. The New Zealand tours include tours of the South Island and New Zealand as well as more specific location and event based tours. Tours to Hokianga and Cape Reinga, The East Cape and Nelson/Marlborough are also a part of the menu. Reid Tours have found many New Zealand travellers who have seen much of the world, but are yet to see key parts of New Zealand. They are always pleasantly surprised by the things they already know about and the many surprises along the way. Australian tours began with a trip to the ever popular Tasmania and then expanded to include Cairns and Far North Queensland and now Adelaide and the Murray River. All three of these tours give up different parts of Australia’s history and landscape. From the convict history of Tasmania to tropical Far North Queensland to the amazing night sky of the outback to cruising the Murray river, you can appreciate all that Australia has to offer and come to understand the difficulties and successes in breaking in this great continent. Reid Tours’ policy is that you should have a memorable holiday experience, not just a long bus trip. Listening to the feedback from their valued customers they have developed their tours to satisfy customer demand and offer the very best in boutique rail and coach travel experiences. Key improvements over the years have seen the additional service of home pickups and return airfares from anywhere in New Zealand for all tours longer than a day. To make their overnight tours all the more enjoyable they have incorporated shorter days and multi-night stays into the tour schedules and carefully limit numbers on coach tours keeping 20 percent of seats free to make for a more pleasant journey. Additionally, providing high quality coaches and accommodation, such as the three nights at Hilton Queenstown on our New Zealand tours, means a few touches of luxury along the way. The staff at Reid Tours pride themselves in producing a quality, enjoyable experience and peace of mind for both our travellers and their loved ones at home. The testament to that is the large number of repeat clients, many of whom book on new tours before they have even seen an itinerary. This speaks of the level of trust, confidence and enjoyment their clients have in the product Reid Tours deliver.
