• Private Hire

Perhaps you already know where you would like to visit when you get to Queenstown? Maybe you are planning to visit both activities and vineyards in the same day? Let us make it easy with your own vehicle and driver!

With a vast range of vehicle types and sizes, we can provide you with both transport and a knowledgeable Driver Guide who will only add to your travel experience! They can offer commentary enroute, recommendations of the best scenic stops, food venues and must-see attractions.

For a custom built wine tour by us, excellent, this is our forte.  We can create a bespoke itinerary to include vineyards in the different wine sub-regions of Central Otago with the option of lunch, cheese tasting, craft beer tastings, winery tours and many other must-see scenic attractions.

Vehicle hire always comes with a driver and the cost is based on vehicle size and time or kilometres travelled. Please provide us with as much information as possible including planned locations and timeframes. As we know the area distances well, we can happily assist with any or all of your transport planning.

Our vehicle fleet include Mercedes Sprinters, Mercedes Vianos, Toyota Alphards and BMW 7 Series. We have a range of both branded and unbranded vehicles available should you have a preference.

You can expect personalised service both from the first point of enquiry to the day of tour itself.  We’re all about the utmost in value for money. With our large vehicle fleet and dedicated team of guides, we have the means to provide for any private tour from a high-end private excursion for 2 people to a large birthday celebratory wine tour catering for up to 19.

COMBOS

There are literally hundreds of activities on offer in Queenstown.

To help you make the best use of your time and money we have devised an array of combo options ranging from soft activity through to iconic attractions. These quintessential Queenstown activities complement perfectly with our Classic Wine Tour and to help combine them logistically, we will collect you from their front step.

So, no need to go through the laborious process of organising and shopping around, let us do the hard work for you.

  • “We went on two tours over a few months, one with Martin & the other with Paul. What absolutely fantastic guides, both so extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to spend the day with. Was great to go to different vineyards on each tour and taste some extremely amazing wines, certainly makes you appreciate the talent that we have in NZ wine makers.”
