Tour agency in New Zealand

“Robert from NZ-Tourism Tours was so helpful and responded to my questions in a prompt manner. We booked the Kirra 9 day South Island tour and we had an awesome time. It was my 79 year old mother’s first overseas trip. Our driver/tour guide Ian was very knowledgable and personable -he really looked after us. The accommodation was great, the food was good, and the places we visited were breathtaking. I highly recommend NZ-Tourism Tours.”

“Bill was a truly great guide. Kind, knowledgeable, easy going, thoroughly prepared, and flexible. Bill catered a terrific day for us in the Waitakere range, full of waterfalls, hiking, black sand beaches, ocean dips, history, and local culture an d info. We ended the day at a very soulful tucked away spot with a great vibe, which we would never have found on our own. It was a beautiful day which hit the highs for our family of active travelers! I would highly recommend Bill - particularly if you are a foodie, wine connoisseur, or want to see the hidden away spots only locals know!”

“We just did the W.O.W tour and it was amazing. So we'll organize. And our tour guide was so good. And looked after the group well. Thanks for a wonderful time. Will definitely be recommending you. And we will use you again.”

“We started planning our trip for a 3.5 week trip to NZ 14 months ago and when we were looking for a provider for self-drive cars we found out GreatDays NZ Tours and Mr Schmiedel. Even at this early stage, GreatDays was able to make us an offer that was quickly updated over the next few weeks according to our wishes. Extensive online documents were available, which were very helpful during the trip together with Google Maps - one click on the link and you knew where to go. There were no problems on the entire trip. All hosts were fully and well informed about us. We were already expected everywhere and welcomed with friendly words. The booked transfers (pick-ups and ferry) and everything related to the rental car also went smoothly - from the handover to us in Auckland to the return at the airport in Christchurch. An unforgettable experience that deserves 6 stars.”

“Super tour yesterday. Only the 4 of us. Even though the weather wasn’t great, we still managed to see the seals. It was a beautiful hike down to the beaches, totally worth it! The view was just stunning and we would have never found these incredible places without our helpful guide. Thanks Lucy!”

“Great and friendly service from Keith. Always reliable, definitely recommend.”

“Don is a one of a kind tour guide. He got along with all of us all like a house on fire from the get go and made us feel at home. I could not recommend him more!”

“We had the best experience out on the farm with Dave and Keegan. We learnt so much about farm life from our amazing hosts. And the transport to the accommodation was an added bonus! If you are wanting a real taste of New Zealand this is a must-do. Thank you Dave and Keegan for a great time”

“Chris is such a lovely and very experienced local tour guide and we were so happy that we booked our tour with him at the last minute as another tour was cancelled accidentally during our cruise ship trip to NZ. It’s great to go with a small group in a comfortable Van. Really recommended if you are a cruise ship passenger or want to explore Dunedin within few hours.”

“Asta was very accommodating and enthusiastic about Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula. She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. She was able to show us not only the highlights of the city of Dunedin but managed to also show us both the Penguins and the Albatrosses on a beautiful sunny day. Highly recommend Fantail Tours in Dunedin.”

“Very professional service, quick responses and provide good value”

“From my experience with Calder and Lawson they have been great. The consultant I'm dealing with has been very helpful. Great communication and she does her research. I would recommend these guys and I would definitely go to them again.”

“As my next birthday starts with an 8, I find travelling more & more daunting. Travelling with Tours Direct makes it so easy as they take care of everything. The ‘Jewels of India Tour’ from which I have just returned certainly was ‘above & beyond’ Bursts of colour, architecture, landscapes & of course the people very proud of traditions & very welcoming. Pleasant & attentive. Ahh the food, so much & soooo good, alfresco, picnic, wonderful. Cuddling & walking with an elephant, safari to find leopards & we did. Magic. Even took in a little Bollywood. How amazing & knowlegeable our guide & along with our own dedicated leader, Jenni we had an unbeatable duo to take us on this magical ride. Again, nothing too much trouble & always coming up with surprises for us. Oh I forgot the accomodation Wow. I want to do it all again. Did I mention shopping? Thank Tours Direct & the gracious Jenni Chris W”

“Awesome place to visit... amazing creatures those gannets.”

“We had a wonderful tour experience with Toby today. Everything was above and beyond. Toby was very knowledgeable and personable and a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend. Not to mention the dog petting fix!!! Thanks Toby”

“Jim took us thru Te Puia and Rotorua. Absolutely loved the tour. Informative. Experienced. Attentive. Efficient. I would highly recommend him to everyone.”

“Lovely people. We have booked a Southland tour with them. Cant wait”

“Amazing tour to Piha Beach with a super friendly guide. Absolutly worth the money! Highly recommended!”

“Highly recommend Koru Scenic Tours. Alan is lovely, with a great sense of humour. He put together an interesting and varied day from Lyttelton Port (off cruise ship) and into Akaroa. Visited The Akaroa Winery ( lovely boutique winery with the best Sauvignon Blanc I’ve ever had). Giants House - an amazing mosaic garden. Barry’s Cheese, a wander around Akaroa town, and lots of great photo stops. All without once feeling rushed. Thanks Alan.”

“Had a great time with Tom on a rainforest hike. He was flexible and adjusted plans because of weather and took us to two spectacular rain forests. He is crazy knowledgeable and open to lots of questions. I feel like I not only got a great day in nature but learned a lot as well. My only regret was we didn’t have more time in our itinerary to book more tours with Tom. Would definitely do again.”

“An in depth and very enjoyable experience with an interesting and well informed guide.”

“One of the best tour activities in the South Island I think. Very well run, beautiful place, 5 stars all the way - Kia Ora!”
