Lunch Stop Beijing to Paris 2009 |
What Our Clients Say
Silk Road Tour
In 2009 we joined the Peking to Paris trip. By Moscow we were really enjoying the self drive travel across areas away from the normal tourist routes. When Greg mentioned the silk road we signed on immediately for 2010.
The Silk Road (although a more challenging drive), gave us a new perspective on how people live under very different conditions to ourselves.
Turkey - Cappadocia balloning a bucket list must. Shopping in bazaar - don't take your wife. Iran - lovely people, free bananas passed to us at 100km/hr on motorway, 2 free desiel top ups at gas station (they wouldn't take our money). Turkmenistan - Toilets???, fun drives in desert, car killer roads, Uzbekistan - Bukara and Samarkund more bucket list must see. Tajikistan - Roads beyond belief, scenery staggering, concert for just us by Pamir folk group a highlight. At border post into Krygistan walked into hollowed out oil tanker, past Dead animal boiling on the stove, to the bunk room to have our passports stamped.
Krygistan - Greg and Murray arranged our passage into China when the border was officially closed. (their orginisation in tricky situations irreplacable). China - Right across from West to East, contrasts, sandstorms, motorized condoms in the hotels, and then back to reality - Auckland.
I think the Silk Road was even better than than P2P, but I would'nt want to have travelled it without doing the P2P first.
Hey Greg what about the "Road of Bones" next.

Beijing to Paris
Dear Greg, Many thanks for a wonderful trip we had from Peking to Paris 2010. It was fabulous.
Thanks especially to Deb, too. Some highlights for me were the NZ Embassy in Beijing where we started, Lake Baikal swim, seeing the Urals, the photo in Red Square, the Winter Palace, Tallin, the WRC event, and the photo in front of the Eiffel Tower…there are many more…
The organization was superb, hotels, events, information, timing, we know what was going on at any time and were kept on task as we need to be.
Thanks for the wonderful experience, memories and photo opportunities. Bob & Jill

On reflection of the past 10 weeks or so I must say that congratulations must be extended to Greg and the Rally Tours staff and associated people involved with the organization and execution of this massive expedition halfway across the globe and back again without serious accidents or issues to speak of.
Apart from the huge logistics of planning and obtaining all the appropriate documents, permits, insurances, inventory of personal bits and pieces, spares for the vehicles, and safety items to ensure all persons and their trucks returned back to NZ safe in safe well state, it was a huge credit to your organization and a great achievement.
In my opinion this experience was received extremely well across the board by all those who took part in this great expedition and they will have recorded many of the experiences and events by means of photos, videos and just memories that they can share with others for a very long time to come.
It is hard to believe, that it is all over.
“A journey of a life time’ I have heard many say, and how true it is!

Hello Deborah & Greg,
Just a few lines to say how much we enjoyed being on the WRC Rally New Zealand Tour, with Rally Tours NZ Ltd. Having been on the WRC Rally of Australia (2009) with your company last year, which was a fantastic experience, we had great expectations for the recent tour and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The organization was truly amazing, details like the BBQ lunches, dinners at Sky City, and on the Fullers Ferry, and having the Port-a-loo showed what details you went to, to make the tour a great weekend.
The drivers and guides did a fantastic job. It was great to see some familiar faces from Australia and Japan, which made for great company, and a lot of fun.
Once again, our thanks for all the hard work and time that was put into ensure we all had a great time.
We hope to join you on some future WRC Tours.
Happy NZ Clients (Auckland)

Thank you very much for your great and heart-warmed hospitality.
We really enjoyed to see rally New Zealand.
- Impressive scenery
- safe long drive to and on special stages
- delicious meal especially outdoor
- very well organized and punctual itinerary
- opportunities to meet a lot of famous rally drivers
- Head quarter office visit
- Peter Sorberg's team visit
We took a lot of unusual experiences in the rally tours you provided to us.
This wonderful memory and the next plan of Rally New Zealand encourage us to work hard.
One thing we really missed during this tour was not to see the ceremonial finish of top 3 drivers at Viaduct.
If we could visit ceremonial finish at this time, this tour was perfect for us and we could recommend this NZ rally tours to our friends in Japan.
And finally, to be informed to Deborah that we had a great night at Viaduct to have marvelous local seafood.
Hope see you again.

Rally Argentina
Even though the weather could have been kinder to us as true rally enthusiasts we took this in our stride and the experience of attending this rally was well worth the effort of getting there. The organisation was faultless and our rally guides were warm, welcoming and very helpful. Food and drink were very cheap but very good and we enjoyed overcoming the language barrier. Overall a rally experience not to be missed. Sue Rasmussen
