Excellent Service, Unforgettable Experience!
“We booked a tour in Dunedin and were truly impressed by the professionalism of Global Shore Excursions. The transportation was punctual and comfortable, and the itinerary was fantastic. We marveled at the breathtaking scenery of the Otago Peninsula and visited the historic Larnach Castle. Our guide was passionate and shared fascinating insights into the local history and culture. This was definitely one of the best experiences of our cruise!.”
Fantastic from Start to Finish!
"We had an unforgettable day with Global Shore Excursions on our tour in Tauranga, New Zealand. The guide was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The trip to Hobbiton and Rotorua was incredible—everything was perfectly arranged, from the transportation to the delicious lunch. We felt well taken care of, even better than the tours offered by the cruise line. Absolutely worth it!"
High-Quality Private Tour, Worth Every Penny!
"We chose a private tour in Wellington instead of the cruise ship’s tour, and it was the best decision! The private car was comfortable, and our driver-guide was incredibly friendly and flexible, allowing us to explore the city at our own pace. The highlight of the tour was our visit to the Weta Workshop—a must-see for any Lord of the Rings fan. Thank you, Global Shore Excursions, for an amazing day!"
