Plan a New Zealand Guided Tour

Your New Zealand guided tour is a private, personalised experience. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, or a group, we will tailor your tour to suit. In other words, we will work with you to create exactly the holiday you want.

For groups, a privately guided tour offers convenience at a surprisingly affordable price. And for families or couples, your guide will create a bespoke tour with your interests in mind.

Each privately guided tour includes:

  • Personal tour guide/driver
  • Private tour vehicle
  • Sightseeing and commentary en route
  • Accommodation
  • A range of must-do activities

In addition, we can add meals if you wish. For example, larger groups will need restaurant reservations made in advance. Meanwhile, families or couples often prefer choosing each day where to eat based on your guide’s recommendations.

Whether you want an active family holiday with plenty of day hikes or a relaxing tour visiting top vineyards, we will select the best guide for your group.

Colin Binsted, New Zealand Guide

Hi I am Colin, I am a fourth generation New Zealander whose descendants came from England in the 1870’s. I trained as a tour guide in the late 1970’s and guided in Europe, Russia and Scandinavia. I returned to NZ in the 80’s and have been a full time guide and chauffeur here since 2011. For every type of tour I guide I aim to explain who we are as New Zealanders, what is unique about New Zealand, it’s flora and fauna, geography and history. Most of all I like discussing with my guests why New Zealand is on most travellers’ bucket list.
