Multi-Day Tours

Thank you Lee for a great experience in New Zealand. One of the best trips EVER!!! You are both very knowledgeable about your country. They mapped out our adventure & made all accommodations (which were amazing). I highly recommend giving them a call. New friends across the pond.. Bloody wonderful.

Our family of four (children 13,17) just returned to Florida from a spring break 2019 New Zealand trip. That is a long way (jet lag!) and they drive on the wrong side of the road! For the 5 days we spent in the South Island we were fortunate to have Lee Saunders as our driver, guide, and confident. He picked us up at the Christchurch airport and drove us to our Lake Pukaki Villa and later to Queenstown. In between and during he took us to a MT. Cook glacier helicopter tour and glacier walk (picture to follow), a glacier lake boat tour, a couple of wine tastings, a bicycle ride, a jet boat river tour (very exciting!), and a super spectacular Mission Impossible level glacier/ Milford Sound Helicopter ride and boat cruise. He was very helpful with restaurant reservations and tips on where to buy quality New Zealand items; I bought the ladies each a nifty gold pendant that contains gold flakes from a local gold mine. I think he knows everyone in Queenstown. He was always punctual, friendly, helpful, and happy to share information about the area. Even if we were a bit brain dead he would volunteer ideas on things to do. My son loves to film and Lee was helpful on good locations for pictures and happy to stop. When he completes his traditional post trip video I will post it. We always felt very confident we were in good hands with Lee and will definitely use him when we return to New Zealand.

We spent a week in Queenstown using Lee and Alpine Luxury Tours to book several outings: two hikes (one on the famous Routeburn trail) one helicopter day trip to Milford sound with lunch, and an afternoon of wine tasting. Lee was friendly, professional and accessible at every stage of the trip, particularly as weather changes called for flexibility in our itinerary with the helicopter tour and also to change a planned hike on a particularly rainy day to a driving tour of Wanaka. On the walking days we were guided by the delightful and knowledgeable Lisa who shared so much about the flora, fauna, history, culture and adventure sports in the Queenstown area. Lee personally guided us on the wine tour and his deep local relationships and great knowledge of the region and local wines made for a fun, informative, and indulgent afternoon. The heli tour to Milford Sound with Craig was a highlight - memorable views and a picnic lunch in an unbelievably scenic spot - waterfalls, snow-capped peaks, a delicious wine and sandwiches — we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend choosing Alpine luxury tours.

In June, we travelled with 2 other couples to New Zealand. We stayed in Queenstown for 3 days and had the privilege of having Emma and Lee from Alpine Luxury Tours take us on our tours. They were so awesome that we hired Lee to be our guide for our 3-week adventure. I can not begin to tell you how wonderful our trip was because of Lee. We travelled from Queenstown to the top of the north island and we let him plan our entire trip. He definitely gave us the trip of a life time and his knowledge about his country was so impressive. Best thing of all... we have a friend from down under! Thank you, Emma and Lee, for taking such good care of us. ❤️
