The New Zealand Private Tours Difference
Discover what sets us apart. At New Zealand Private Tours, we specialise in personalised travel experiences—crafted with care, guided by locals, and tailored to your pace and interests. From start to finish, it’s travel designed around you.
At New Zealand Private Tours, we know your holiday time is precious—so we make every moment count. Our focus is on crafting personalised experiences that reflect your interests, pace, and travel style.
We take care of all the planning and logistics so you can relax, look forward to the journey ahead, and enjoy the memories long after you return.
Here are seven key ways we stand apart from other tour operators—and why so many of our guests say their trip with us was the highlight of their travels.
1. Custom Itineraries: Designed Around You
At New Zealand Private Tours, we take the time to get to know you—what you love, how you like to travel, and what kind of experiences matter most. From there, we create a personalised itinerary that’s truly your own.
No cookie-cutter plans here—every trip is thoughtfully designed to match your interests, pace, and preferences. And with our friendly, down-to-earth Kiwi approach, you’ll feel welcome and relaxed from the moment you arrive.
2. Special Places Only a Local Would Know
Some of the most memorable moments in travel come from places you won’t find in a guidebook. That quiet lake with no one else around, a tucked-away café serving the best flat white, or a scenic lookout only the locals visit—we love sharing these hidden gems with you.
In New Zealand, where stunning landscapes meet genuine hospitality, we’ll take you beyond the usual tourist stops to the special spots that show you the real Aotearoa—places we know and love because we’re locals.
3. New Zealand Especially for You
At New Zealand Private Tours, we know there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all holiday. Everyone travels differently—some want to take it slow, others love to pack in the adventures. Your health, budget, and time all matter, and we’re here to make sure your trip fits just right.
We’ll listen to what’s important to you and build your New Zealand experience around that—no pressure, no rush, just a holiday that feels like it was made for you. Because it is.
4. Over Ten Years of New Zealand Travel Expertise—Working for You
With more than a decade in the New Zealand tourism industry, we’ve built the kind of local knowledge and connections that make your trip smoother, easier, and more memorable.
You benefit from our experience—whether it’s knowing the best places to stay, the right time to visit a popular spot, or how to avoid the crowds. Thanks to our trusted network of top-rated partners across the country, we can open doors and take care of the details so you can simply enjoy your journey.
5. New Zealand’s Ever-Changing Weather—We’ve Got You Covered
Weather in New Zealand can be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean your trip has to be. Because we're based right here, we can respond quickly if plans need to change—whether it's a rainy day, a closed road, or something unexpected.
We’ll keep an eye on conditions and adjust your itinerary in real time if needed, so you can relax knowing you’re in good hands. No matter what the weather brings, we’ll make sure your journey stays on track and full of unforgettable moments.
6. Locals Who Guide, Not Just Plan
When you travel with New Zealand Private Tours, you're not just getting a trip designed from behind a desk—you’re getting real insights from people who are also tour guides. Based in Queenstown, we’ve spent years out on the road, sharing stories, showing off hidden spots, and helping travellers fall in love with New Zealand.
We know the country inside out because we live it—every day. From epic landscapes to local favourites, we’ll take you beyond the guidebooks and into the heart of Aotearoa.
7. No More Paper – Everything You Need, Right on Your Phone
Forget the hassle of carrying printed documents that can get lost or damaged. With our easy-to-use travel app, you’ll have everything you need for your trip in one place—up-to-date itinerary details, maps, contacts, and in-country support, all at your fingertips.
It’s simple, reliable, and keeps your travel plans organised and accessible wherever you go. Less clutter, more peace of mind.
