Thank you Kathy and team for the incredible itinerary that you planned for us for our tour of New Zealand. From beautiful accommodations, to wonderful cultural experiences and the ease of getting from one location to the next... we couldn't have asked for a better tour agent to guide us. Even when there was a cancellation of one activity due to bad weather, you were ready with several other options. We will definitely be hiring you again when we return to New Zealand and Australia!

WOW! Just got back from a two-week trip to New Zealand that Kathy at New Zealand Private Tours planned for us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Kathy took the time to listen to what we hoped to accomplish during our visit and then planned an itinerary that touched on everything we wanted to do and more. Our accommodations were all lovely boutique hotels and ranged from upscale to take your breath away, hello Fiordland Lodge & Mt. Cook Lakeside Retreat. Some of our trip highlights included an overnight cruise on Milford Sound, seeing the penguins in Dunedin, landing on the glacier at Mount Cook and a nighttime hike through the rain forest in Rotorua to see the glow worms. We also got to experience the Māori culture. Throughout our stay the private drivers/guides showed us the beautiful countryside and educated us on the history and culture of New Zealand. The trip turned out to be an experience of a lifetime and would not have been possible with Kathy & Wayne at New Zealand Private Tours.
