What our Clients Say
Rhapsody Rotorua. You do a wonderful job which is evident by the expected numbers of participants again in 2004, and it is a great promotion for our city. Well done!
Grahame W. Hal - JP Mayor - Rotorua District Council
I immediately think “Rod, Group Events”, when I have a conference or retreat to organise, not “Yellow Pages”. It is a one-stop, no need-to-worry-again, superb service!
Mimi Louie - Hexal Australia - Frequent Pharmaceutical Conferences.
I am thoroughly impressed by your team's professionalism.
Phillip Mears - St Clair Rugby League Group
The tour was extremely well organised and I must congratulate you as the tour ran so smoothly.
Bill Rossenrode - Tour Organiser - Miranda Cricket Club - Sydney NSW - 17 February 2003
I just thought that I would drop you a line to say many thanks for your assistance and patience over the past 12 months. You will be glad to here that our tour of New Zealand was a great success and we even won a rugby match! All the activities that you organised went according to plan and we were very happy with the accommodation at each location. The boys really enjoyed themselves and we were blessed with good weather. Thanks to Group Events for a good trip.
Martin Power Kenmore Rugby Club - 7 October 2003 (Booked their 3rd tour in 2004)
Our tour to New Zealand was a fantastic experience in all aspects for the boys, their families and the Wyvern Staff. The itinerary was varied and very full. This was certainly as a result of your wonderful organisation and planning. I don't believe there is any aspect of the tour that has to be altered. We were very, very happy with the tour and are most grateful for all your hard work beforehand.
Stuart Brown - Wyvern House - July 2003 - Regular tour group with Group Events.
On behalf of Oakhill College EES Tour Group I would like to personally thank you for your time, effort, organisation here and in New Zealand for our tour. We had a blast. Everything was well planned, on time and as we expected, a major factor when traveling with students. You can commence planning for 2005.
Saxon Bowles, Oakhill College , Tour Director. 1 May 200
(Rebooked in 2005)
I can honestly say we were all very impressed with the tour arrangements, the coaches were extremely comfortable, and the drivers terrific with both local knowledge and driving skills. Best of all would have to be the Toll Free number from New Zealand to Australia and knowing that any problem could be solved if we spoke to any one of you in your office. Thank you for all your organisational skills and time and effort put in to make everything run so smoothly
Elizabeth Greenwood - Music Administrative Assistant - Christchurch Grammar School, Claremont - 14 May 2003
Toured twice with 2 coaches and full orchestra.
I understand the tour was a resounding success. Special mention was made of your arrangements. ”I must compliment Rod Bird of Group Events in Sydney for an excellent and well organised Australian tennis tour. The matches were well organised, accommodation was great, transport reliable and the Aussies were really friendly and helpful”.

I have been working with you for many years and trusting you with many of my group clients although we have never met. It was not an obstacle for me to trust on your expert hands. All the groups spoke very good words of your personalised service.

Your organisation left no stone unturned. We could enjoy the trip knowing that all was 110% well organised. ......Your organisation skills are far above those of a local tour group. From your itinerary we could see that you have many great contacts that can help a school achieve a great tour.

Our thanks must go to Mr Keith Weber and his staff at Group Events. The organization of sightseeing, touring, and performance venues was second to none. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this tour or in booking another tour with Group Events.
