Private Travel, Crafted for You
Your New Zealand Based Private Tour Specialists
New Zealand Private Tours is a boutique, family-operated New Zealand travel agent with a world of experience. Operating for over ten years, we specialise in creating tailored journeys across both New Zealand and Australia, ensuring every detail reflects your interests, pace, and travel style. During your time in these incredible destinations, you’ll enjoy seamless connections, meticulous planning, and carefully curated excursions — all designed to help you soak up the very best without the stress.
At New Zealand Private Tours, we’re proud to look after our guests like esteemed family friends. Based in Queenstown on New Zealand’s South Island, we’re available for real-time assistance whenever you need us. No question is too small, and we genuinely love to hear from you.
Enjoy the best New Zealand has to offer
We invite you to bring us your wish list – it could be anything from glaciers to paragliding, wildlife spotting or one of our Great Walks. We’ll make it happen, enhanced by some suggestions of our own that you might not have considered.
We specialise in short-term itineraries between seven to fourteen days. But if you have the added luxury of time, we’re always thrilled to design longer trips. After all, you’re travelling this far already. And high-speed internet across the country means work is only an internet connection away. However, if you want to be completely disconnected from your everyday life, we can organise that too.
We’re looking forward to making your vacation one to remember.
