But wait...there's more

On another note, we have heard that many Brass Bands think that Tour Time is just a Coach (bus) Operator. NO, not true!

OK, so we have transported National Bands, National Youth Bands and many overseas Bands over the years and we do own and operate five star silver coaches BUT WE ARE A ONE STOP TOUR SHOP.

This means we offer a full tour service for both international and New Zealand bands and make all bookings for accommodation, leisure activities, venues etc as well as all transport arrangements. We are THE New Zealand Band Tour and Music Tour Specialists.
