Guided Private New Zealand Tours

Only you and your personal tour guide/chauffeur

You don’t like to travel in a group or drive on the left hand side of the road?

You would like to experience the most beautiful corners of New Zealand personally, be driven and be presented with these experiences by your local knowledgeable tour guide / chauffeur?

An individual journey of this kind naturally offers very special, exclusive and individual moments. Through the knowledge of the country, the people and the places. A very special travel experience can be created which can also be spontaneously adapted to special interests and joys on the spot without any pressure from a group or time constraints.

Since the trip takes place without further group members we will design a custom-made solution for your journey. Our experienced Tour Driver Guides hold valid New Zealand passenger endorsements, first aid certificates and a variety of special permits such as driving 4WDs on beaches. They are passionate about showing you this beautiful country in person. Explore the diversity and fascination on a personal journey.

Please note: For private tours, additional costs for your chauffeur/guide will apply, including their single room, daily rates, and entries for the desired activities. Due to current labor laws in New Zealand, after a certain amount of driving or working hours, free days for your personal guide are mandatory. For private guided tours, costs for the respective vehicle and a fuel surcharge are included. Depending on the itinerary, travel duration, accommodation, and vehicle category, daily costs of approximately NZD 1,000.00 in addition to your desired travel package can be expected.

The self-drive tours listed below have also been designed as private trips for you. Simply choose the one that suits your preferences and inquire about the option of a tour guide or chauffeur. If you have any specific requests, no problem! Feel free to share your preferred dates and desires, and we will create an unforgettable, personalized experience for you.

For guests unfamiliar driving on the left hand side our Driver Tour Guides will put you at ease:

We know how to drive competently on the left hand side of the road. Our professional tour driver guides hold New Zealand Driver Licences, Passenger Endorsements, Permits to drive a 4WD along the beach and have a lot of passion to show this beautiful country personally to you. We also provide our tours in English or German language (other languages on request) and suitable Passenger Service Vehicle licenced transports like Limousines, 8-12 Seater Vans, 4WD or Hybrid Vehicles.
