TOUR TIME believe that how you travel and what you experience is as important as the destination itself.  After all, these create the best memories and provide the most enriched experiences.

Tour Time Guarantee "to exceed your expectations."  

TOUR TIME offer a Complete Tour Co-ordination Service:

Transport - so what's different?

Tour Time own and operate their own Luxury Touring Coaches nationwide. Unlike other Tour Operators we won't be handing you over to another Coach Company and "just a driver" to drive your tour, we will look after you all the way by providing an exceptional high standard of personal service.  


Tour Time is a “caring family Company” and we understand that true hospitality is an art that embraces remarkable service, attitude and professionalism with respect for the individual needs of every traveller. 

Our professional tour drivers are all handpicked and have the skills to drive in all weather and road conditions throughout the entire country.

We will pick up from any international airport or seaport in New Zealand.  We can also arrange any other land, air or sea transport, both International and National. 

Tour Time Tour Drivers – why are they different?

We understand that our driver’s vast tour driving experience is important to you, but so is their personality and ability to infuse every tour with fun and humour, as they enjoy the journey and experiences with you.  They love what they’re doing, so “when you love what you’re doing, you naturally do it better!”

Unlike typical Tour Drivers, Tour Time staff have the authority and flexibility to use spontaneous opportunities to enhance your journey and your tour.  We call it "Making Memories." Our timetables and itineraries are not rigid and inflexible. Here are some examples of this:

1) On a recent tour returning to Queenstown from a day spent in the majestic Milford Sounds, our Tour Time driver noticed that a local farmer was draughting some sheep in the nearby paddock. Our driver stopped, jumped the fence and after some friendly persuasion with the farmer, the farmer invited the complete group of 48 tourists onto his farm where he demonstrated some working sheepdog displays and an impromptu shearing display.  The group loved it!

2) On one of our Music Tours our driver arranged for an impromptu stop at the Waiouru Army Camp as they were passing.  The tour group were then treated to the second half of a New Zealand Army Band concert. The group thought it was great!

Accommodation - to suit your budget 

We are experienced at arranging your accommodation requests.  We deal with many accommodation providers across the wide spectrum of classes – from luxury hotels to home or farm-stays with a New Zealand family!  We negotiate on your behalf with Hotels and other suppliers to get the best available rates and the best possible combination of options.

Meals - delicious in a wide range of settings

International cuisine can be arranged to suit your group's needs. Try a Maori Hangi (feast) or a New Zealand barbeque on a farm! Enjoy our world famous wines and fresh seafood cuisine. Tour Time will arrange all your meals or if you prefer, just breakfasts and dinners - again it's your choice and we will discuss this with you. You may like to have one or two days during your tour where you are free to dine where you want and we will arrange the rest of your meals. Lunches are often not included in the tour price but our drivers will certainly know the appropriate places to stop and will pre-arrange a time for you to choose your own light lunches or menus.
