Best Tour Ever!! - Lee is incredible and thinks of absolutely everything! He handled our large group of women with kindness and humor at every turn. Knowledgeable, fun, and does all the work to make the trip a true vacation! Cannot recommend Alpine Luxury Tours enough.

A great day out. - My brother and I have just done the Queenstown and surrounds tour with Dani. A brilliant day out taking in some superb scenic lookouts, lots of history, super eating, drinking and shopping as well as wine tasting to round off the day. Dani was great company and hugely accommodating and informative. Would definitely recommend! And I’ve not used the word ‘lovely’ (until now😉)

Fantastic - A fantastic tour with a private guide, traveling to Glenorchy, Arrowtown and several other sites. We also visited wineries as part of the trip. We traveled in a luxury vehicle and our guide was outstanding. I would highly recommend the trip if you looking to explore Queenstown and the surrounding area.

Outstanding company. - A very well planned, private trip around the South Island of New Zealand. We had an outstanding guide in Trevor who was with us for 12 days, in a luxury vehicle.He was extremely knowledgeable about the area as well as being a lot of fun. This has proved to be a great way to visit NZ, something we had not done before, but would definitely do more travel with Alpine Luxury tours. Our accomodation was excellent and beyond our expectations. Would thoroughly recommend.

Sensational vacation with Alpine Luxury Tours - Right from the planning stage our experience with Alpine Luxury Tour was absolutely tremendous. The communication with Lee and his team was excellent. Our holiday was very well planned with a great variety of destinations and activities. The accommodation met all our needs and often exceeded our expectations. We spent 12 days touring the South Island with Trevor as our personal guide. Trevor’s knowledge of the South Island was exceptional, his commentary was always entertaining and he had a great sense of humour. He always seemed to anticipate our needs. At all times he was thoughtful and made our trip very special.

Great Tour Guide For Queenstown New Zealand - We had 3 days to spend in Queenstown and wanted to get the most of it so at the suggestion of our travel agent we. Used this company. Rob was our tour guide and was fantastic. We told him that we wanted to do as a much as possible and he did not let us down. Rob was funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable. We started every day with a plan and then Rob was flexible and added things as each day progressed. We went to many off the beaten track places that only a local would know about. Using Alpine and Rob allowed us to get the most out of our visit. Highly recommended!

Above & Beyond Expectations- Queenstown - Queenstown is a wonderful place with incredible opportunities for activity and adventure. What an amazing town!
Dani and her team exceeded expectations every step of the way. Their suggestions for excursions, vendors and restaurants were on point for our group. They handled all arrangements and last minute changes with easy. They were always on time and ready for the next adventure.
Quite simply, they went above and beyond.
We will be back soon, and Alpine will be handling the arrangements start to finish.

Fantastic tour & host - We had an incredible day! Trevor was the best host and driver, explaining a lot about the local area and wineries we visited. He showed us beautiful spots and allowed us to explore at each for as long as we wanted, we never felt rushed. It was a great day and I'd definitely recommend for couples or small groups that want a personalised experience.
