New Zealand Private Tours is a boutique, family-operated New Zealand travel agent with a world of experience. During your time in this incredible destination, you’ll want to experience efficient connections, meticulous planning and carefully curated excursions that will suit your interests.

At New Zealand Private Tours, we’re proud to say we look after our guests like esteemed family friends. We’re right here in Queenstown in New Zealand’s South Island too—so you can contact us for assistance in real-time. No question or concern is an inconvenience, and we truly love to hear from you.
How We Plan Your New Zealand or Australian Multi-Day Private Tour
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.
