We were a group of 15 who visited both north and South Island on a 14 day guided tour in December 2022. We are very pleased with guided New Zealand tours and Francine Smith. From the first email inquiry, Francine has been very responsive and prompt. She was easy to work with and is knowledgeable. The hotels we stayed in were excellent and easily among the best in town. The activities she scheduled were outstanding and we greatly enjoyed our trip to New Zealand. I would like to thank Francine particularly for choosing G. Gordon Hammer as our guide.

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Francine arranged a tour that suited our family perfectly. She was very responsive and made sure we got exactly what we wanted (and we were a diverse group!). Our guide, Dirk, was knowledgable, patient, accommodating and had the patience of a saint. Honestly, we felt like we were in a magic bubble for 2 weeks. Couldn't have asked for a better NZ Adventure.

We were so fortunate to have discovered New Zealand Guided Tours! From the beginning, Francine of NZGT was so helpful and responsive. She answered all our questions and provided lots of details concerning our trip. We booked a private guided 18 Day Lord of the Rings Guided Tour with New Zealand Guided Tours and couldn’t have been more pleased. The itinerary was perfect for our family and included many activities and sites that our family loved. The Lord of the Rings tour sites were all beautiful and of great interest to the LOTR fans in our family. The itinerary also included other activities such as a visit to the Glow Worm Caves, float plane ride, Gondola Ride and Luge-ing from tall mountains, a visit to the USA Antarctic Research Center in Christchurch, Jet boat ride and much more. One of the best things about our tour was our tour guide Mark. Mark provided commentary throughout the tour and took us to places only a seasoned tour guide would know of. Don’t bother looking for other tour companies as New Zealand Guided Tours is the best.

Outstanding tour with a very knowledgeable and personable Driver named Marc. We needed the company to make the entire trip wheelchair accessible and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. The cost of individualization and personalization for the trip was well worth the investment for our family's new memories. Accommodations and transportation were top notch. Pleasure to deal with - I highly reccommend for any Lord of the Rings fans!!

I and my entire family of 18 had a great trip of both the islands. Nic and her staff are wonderful and extremly helpful. Nic made sure that our trip goes nice and smooth. Our guide Dan Griffin was awesome and was flexible to our schedule. I will strongly recommend without hesitations New Zealand guided tours to my friends and family and I am pretty sure that I will use them in my future trips.

We are a group of 10 from Singapore on a photography tour in the South Island of NZ. Our experience with New Zealand Guided Tours was absolutely first class. From the planning, customizing and working out details with Tour Consultant Kelly Hughes to the actual running of the tour with Travel Guide Patrick Griffin, everything was immaculately arranged and executed. Patrick was superb as a guide and friend! We benefited much from his excellent local knowledge and we all enjoyed and so appreciated his tireless efforts to ensure we got the best of whatever we wanted to do or see. Patrick went far beyond expectation to make sure we achieved our objectives. We highly recommend this company with Patrick and his team for a fantastic New Zealand experience.

“The entire holiday was great. The country is incredibly beautiful and we were very lucky with the weather. If I had to choose I would say the helicopter flight up to Franz Josef Glacier was the most spectacular and memorable moment. The most unique experience was the Doubtful Sound cruise. The scenery, landscape and weather were amazing. The Trans Alpine Railway was also very scenic. Everywhere we visited was beautiful. The Mt Cook area was incredible. Queenstown and Wanaka were amazing towns. And all of the small towns we visited in transit between destinations were great as well.

“Patrick Griffin was an amazing tour guide. He was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about all that is New Zealand. He knows all of the great places to stop and visit, and gave a lot of interesting background information about them all. I would give him the highest recommendation to any of your future customers seeking a tour in New Zealand. We very much enjoyed his company on the trip which is highly important with the amount of time spent with the guides.”

“Thank you for the excellent arrangements. We all had a fantastic time. My group members thoroughly enjoyed their NZ holidays. Every one praised the excellent tour program. They thoroughly enjoyed the good, varied food & the spectacular scenery. The driver, Richard, was very knowledgeable & a skilful driver. Patrick, the tour guide, is very helpful and caring. We really had a wonderful time in NZ. Thank you, Rebecca, for the excellent NZ holidays!!”

“As we prepare to leave New Zealand today, we wanted to express our thanks. The family had a very good and enjoyable holiday and we look forward coming back to the South Island sometime. Pete [our tour guide] in particular was superb and we really appreciated having him around.”

– CK Yeo | December


“The tour was well organised and Pete [our tour guide] was fantastic and really encouraged us; we miss New Zealand. Thanks for all the arrangements.”

– Dr Udhay | December


“Thank you so much for planning and booking such a fantastic holiday for us! We had an amazing trip and saw so many wonderful things that it’s difficult to pick highlights. We very much fell in love with New Zealand – I don’t think there’s anything you could have done to improve our experience.”

– Martti Antola | September


“Our holiday went perfectly to plan and the weather was amazing! Thank you so much for organising this trip. We would highly recommend you to our family and friends!”

– Helen & Tuan Nguyen | July


“We had a fabulous holiday! We found the planning and booking process extremely easy, and everything ran smoothly with no hitches. Around each corner was another awesome experience, and all our activities were totally fantastic!”

– Pam Molenaar | April


“The holiday was brilliant. Absolutely fantastic. We had such a wonderful time and are very grateful to you for all of your work on our behalf. Overall, this was the best holiday we have ever had. Thank you again, and we hope to return to NZ at another time. We know who we will contact to arrange our next trip for us.”

– Sally Williams | March


“We feel the planning and booking process could not have been completed better by any travel agency that we know of. Your expert knowledge of the country was noteworthy enough, but it was your responsiveness to our wants and needs that impressed us so much.

“Let us say again that we could not have found a better agent for our vacation. The service was spot on, the planning was exquisite, and the cost was reasonable. We recommend you to all of our friends and look forward to a return trip and the opportunity to work with you again.”

– Charlie Hopkins | February


“We have been back only a short while and have not stopped talking about how wonderful the tour was. We would like to thank you for arranging a wonderful trip for us that exceeded all our expectations! We just had an amazing time from the minute we landed in Christchurch until we left. Patrick is an excellent tour guide, with his thoughtfulness, sharing of knowledge, the sightseeing became more meaningful. He was also patient, kind and helpful, which allow us to see him not just a guide but as a great friend towards the end of our holiday.”

– Toh Family & Luk Family | June


“We wish to thank you for the customised plan that you did for us which made our trip really wonderful. We would never be able to get such a great experience if the trip was not customised to our needs and wants, especially when there are 3 generations of us in the group. Chris [our tour guide] was constantly working to make the holiday as fulfilling for us as possible as he constantly gave us great recommendations of activities and food to choose from. With his sharing of knowledge, the sightseeing became more meaningful. He was also really entertaining and kind.”

– Jian Wei Ow Yong | January


“Hi Francine, just wanted to send a quick email to say a very big Thank You for your help with organizing our honeymoon to NZ. Your country is absolutely stunning and we had such a fun trip. We couldn’t have done it without you. With your help we saw as much as we could without being too stressed and it all went off without a hitch.”

– Nadia & Anthony Ricca | November


“Thank you very much for arranging our fortnight in NZ. Everything worked brilliantly, every event clicked into place like magic and our holiday went like clockwork. The guide’s commentary was a highlight. Napier, Wanaka, Auckland, Christchurch – brilliant. You even arranged perfect weather for us. Can we do that again?”

– Margaret & Greg Day | February


“I just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for all the wonderful work you did on helping us organize our New Zealand vacation. Every step of the vacation was flawlessly planned, but the best part of planning this vacation with you was the care, patience and attention to detail that you demonstrated throughout the booking process. Without your suggestions we would have not had such a great time, and we’re looking forward to our next trip – New Zealand is definitely a place we want to come back to!”

– Hari Sekhar | January
