WHY
MINI TOURS?
Safety First
Safety is our top priority at Mini Tours.
All vehicles in our fleet are registered as "Commercial Passenger Service Vehicles" and undergo thorough inspections every six months by independent testing centres to ensure their safety and reliability.
Our drivers hold a "Passenger Endorsement," authorizing them to legally transport passengers, and our company is registered with the government, holding a "Transport Service Licence.".
Operating personal vehicles for passenger transport without proper endorsement is illegal and compromises safety.
For added peace of mind, Mini Tours carries a NZD 5 million public liability insurance policy, ensuring protection for all our customers.
We're proud to hold the official Qualmark quality certification, awarded by the New Zealand tourism industry. Regular audits assess our performance in areas such as health and safety, vehicle comfort, staff training, and emergency response. Our commitment to excellence has earned us a Silver rating.
Strong Support
Mini Tours' guides are highly trained and experienced, adept at managing the flexible itineraries of "small-group" travel and handling various situations with ease. Supported by a dedicated team, our guides receive full support to address any sudden changes or accidents, ensuring passengers' well-being throughout the journey.
Daily reports from the guides keep the team informed, ensuring a smooth travel experience for all passengers. With Mini Tours, you can relax and enjoy your trip, knowing that our team has everything under control.
Quality
We understand that many itineraries involve long-distance journeys, which can pose safety risks and limit passengers' enjoyment.
When designing itineraries, we prioritize avoiding long drives and extended periods in the vehicle. Our goal is to ensure travellers can fully experience the joy of their vacation without feeling confined.

Please complete the inquiry form below or reach out to our customer service.
Our customer service representative will promptly contact you for a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your itinerary overview.
If you're unfamiliar with New Zealand, feel free to explore our itineraries or articles for inspiration.
Following the initial consultation, we'll craft a personalized itinerary for you. Once finalized, you'll receive a travel proposal detailing itinerary suggestions, charter costs, and recommended activities.
Upon your approval of the itinerary and quotation, we'll proceed to sign a contract with you and collect a deposit to reserve the guide and vehicle.
Once your itinerary is confirmed, we'll handle all the details for you. From drafting the route to booking activities and hotels, we'll tailor every aspect to your preferences, drawing on our extensive local experience to create the perfect itinerary.
Specializing in customised tours, we pay attention to every detail. Factors like local environmental conditions, climate, sunlight direction, lunar phases, and less crowded times to avoid traffic congestion are all carefully considered.
Prior to your departure date, we'll collect the remaining balance from you. You'll also receive a "Pre-departure Information" document containing details such as the itineary, hotel info, NZ Customs entry requirements, climate and clothing suggestions, guide's and local emergency contacts.
Our customer service team will create an app group before your departure, allowing you to stay in touch with the guide, ask questions, and ensure you're well-prepared for a fantastic vacation.
