- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- RitaK123238New York City, NY11 contributionsWe had a great experience with Han on this private tour. He picked us up punctually at our hotel. It was an early pick up so we could not even get breakfast at the hotel. But Han came prepared with snacks to subsist on until lunch. The sights were beautiful and we got a good overview of what the region has to offer. The Thermal Wonderland was my personal favorite part of the tour. What we really appreciated was that we needed heavier jackets for the later travel to South Island. Han was able to fit in a pit stop so we can pick up jackets which became indispensable later on our trip. Han was on top of our needs throughout the tour. Thank you!Written 3 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Symonne S4 contributionsI can't recommend this tour enough!
Sharma exceeded all expectations!
We were on a tight schedule (last day of our trip, flight at 8pm), so he picked us up early, and even did an airport drop off (for a small fee). The tour had tons of flexibility, he offered to add or remove any stops we'd like, but we chose to go with his recommendations. He was a safe driver, and lovely company. He had lots of historical knowledge, fun facts, and a little bit of playfulness to round it out.
The locations we went to were stunning!! Beautiful water, gorgeous trees, beautiful views. It was also pretty accessible, we vary in ages but still could comfortably participate in every leg of the journey. We took lots of pictures, and Sharma also took pictures of/for us on his phone. Because this is a private tour, you have tons of flexibility on when to stop, when to eat etc. This is a steal at the price!
We are American, and were hesitant about driving ourselves because of the whole driving-on-the-other-side-of-the-road thing. I'm glad we had Sharma driving, the weather and some complicated roundabouts would have been quite tough for us to navigate. Plus its nice to just be a passenger and not have the added stress while on vacation.
I know there are limited reviews on this tour as of now, but don't hesitate! I'm so glad we did this, one of the highlights of our entire trip. Sharma is a pro with tons of experience, and the locations you go to are a lovely way to spend the day.Written 18 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide- Sandra- was very proffessional, made the tour enlightening and fun, paid attention and accordingly adjusted the tour to our specific group needs, and made the day most enjoyable.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Abdullah880Klang, Malaysia9 contributionsI just returned from a 8-day North to South Island tour. Lizzy was helpful and professional in her dealings with my bookings. The driver in Christchurch by the name of Graham was very very friendly and informative. I strongly advise all visitors to look for Graham if they are visiting Christchurch. I hope Leisure Tours will give him a good bonus!!Written 6 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
