Guides and Experts

Sometimes, you'll just want to let others do the organizing and perhaps put yourself in the guiding hands of experts. Whatever it is you want to find out more about, these kindly folk can show you what¹s what and exactly where what's what is.

For this purpose, we have hunted around for guides, tour operators and experts in fields as varied as architecture, wine-touring by bike and night-time kiwi-spotting to help you along your way. Each has been chosen specifically for their personalised approach, warm character and of course, in-depth knowledge of their field of expertise.

We have a whole series of guides working in specific areas of New Zealand, but for a more general operator that covers the whole country, try Jeanette at Meet New Zealand. They are tailor-made holiday specialists and can prepare achievable self-drive itineraries that fit in to exactly what it is you want from your time away.

INTERESTING FACT

New Zealand was named by Dutchman Abel Tasman after the Zeeland province in the Netherlands.

Jeanette is wired with the same predilections as GG for the natural, unstuffy, humorous and unusual. Her tailor-made holidays extract the stress from having to fine-plan your trip. A New Zealander with years of tourist experience, she will discuss your likes, dislikes and holiday aims and then present you with a hassle-free, pre-booked and logistically achievable self-drive itinerary. (A lot of people need some advice on what they can comfortably do in two weeks!) To truly tap into the heart of local Kiwi hospitality there is no better person to direct you off the beaten track.
