In Arrowtown, we allow you free time to explore this adorable mining village. Join our guide for gold panning, or take one of our maps and explore on your own, visiting the famous Arrowtown Bakery, and local gift stores, or stock up on treats from the Remarkable Sweet Shop.

The tour was incredible. Our guide Shanay was amazing, so kind, helpful, and full of life. She made the day so amazing I honestly don't think it would have been as good without her
Informative tour giving a great overview of the district. Scenic viewpoints, visits to historic Arrowtown & classy Ayrburn with hot drink included; finished off with delicious wines and cheese platter at Nockies Palette. A half day well spent with a small group, all while being hosted by our chatty & entertaining driver who shared history and humour throughout the journey. Highly recommend!
Shanya, our guide, was great. Everthing was perfect!

Amazing Vibes. Shanay was a great guide. Professional and funny. Had a blast spending the 4 hours with her. Definitely would recommend
Amazing trip shanay was the best tour guide
On today’s tour, we had the chance to visit and sample products from several small wineries and breweries. Our tour leader, Shanay, was very attentive to everyone’s preferences and readily communicated with the staff at each venue, helping us try the products we were most interested in. She also shared useful information about travelling around Queenstown.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Shanay. She is so friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Everything was well organised, and the itinerary was managed smoothly without feeling rushed. We enjoyed the tour so much. Thank you Shanay.
Shanay was lovely and was so helpful in helping my family and I to expedite our burger order at the last brewery stop! She was fantastic company!
Excellent experience. Lots of fun and well organised
Shanaya was an amazing tour guide, she made the experience fun, relaxed and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this for both small or large groups.
Amazing scenery and wines. Best of all was our bubbly and knowledgeable guide, Shanay!
Shanay was an amazing guide. Fun and informative. Really good group of people on the tour and the wineries were amazing.
We had such a fantastic 4-hour wine tasting tour yesterday. Shayne was absolutely incredible — fun, bubbly and so engaging with everyone in the group. She made the whole experience really enjoyable and did a fantastic job safely navigating us around the different wineries. A brilliant few hours from start to finish. Highly recommend! 🍷🥂
Great trip, did it with family, met some great people on it, fellow NZers and a group from Macau. All great people who were up for the experience. Excellent guide, Shanay.. I recommend this tour as it serves both wine and beer drinkers.
Had the best time with Shanay! She was a fabulous host and we had a great time :)
Very good tour, Shanay is a great guide
Amazing experience! Shanay was the best host, very informative fun and lovely. Would def recommend this tour to everyone!!
Shanay was great! Wonderful bars and taverns we went to.
Great tour made even better by our tour guide Chase! Highly recommend. Ask for Chase!
The views were incredible even in the rain. Ashley was a very knowledgeable guide, super friendly and accommodating. She had umbrellas to borrow and great local recommendations. In fact, she made the trip more meaningful with all the knowledge she shared.
Our trip to Milford Sound was absolutely amazing, and a huge shoutout to our driver, James! He deserves a 100% perfect score. James is a fantastic driver—super smooth and professional, which made us feel incredibly safe on the winding roads. On top of that, he is so humorous and witty, keeping everyone entertained and laughing throughout the journey. The long drive flew by! This trip left us with wonderful memories. Highly, highly recommend James to anyone visiting Milford Sound! 👍✨
We went to Milford Sound yesterday and it was such a great experience. Thomas was so friendly and made sure we are on time. We were so lucky to have him as our tour guide as we were able to see the amazing waterfalls, rivers and numerous Kea parrots. I noticed he is very knowledgeable as well just like SinChan! Now I conclude that altitude tours is not just about business but it’s about people as well being passionate to share what New Zealand has to offer. This company with these amazing guides just makes your tour completely unforgettable. Thanks Thomas! Neil and Joy
This is a fantastic tour with very interesting and diverse stops. Our guide, Allegra, was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Ash did a fantastic job showing us around Queenstown.
My wife and I went on the Milford Sound Tour on Friday 10 April 2026. Chelsea, our driver and tour guide was simply fantastic. She has a bubbly personality, very obliging and an indepth knowledge of New Zealand. She is most caring and ensured our comfort at all times. The sights on the way to Milford Sound was stunning. The views and waterfalls on the boat cruise was picturesque and breath taking. We highly recommend the Milford Sound Tour with Altitude Tours to anyone visiting Queenstown.
A great Queenstown highlights tour with a variety of excellent stops giving individuals time to explore themselves. A great host who genuinely cared for our experience. Thanks Ana
4 hour tour of Queenstown and area: 1) Drove in clean van to scenic overlook. 2) Drove to view Overshot River jet boaters 3) Drove to original site of New Zealand born Bungee jumping to view jumpers 4) Drove to winery for taste sampling of 5 wines with cheese and crackers 5) Drove to harbor for return lake cruise to downtown Queenstown with about 3 lake stoppages for informational sharing Total time of tour: 4 hours Well worth the price and time! Good variety and time spent at each site Tour guide: Allegra Native to area. Knowledgeable. Appeared to enjoy her work duties. Verbalized good stories and lore of the area. Personable. Good “Dad joke” groaners to get everyone smiling. Well done Altitude Adventure Tours Many thanks! Jim & Arlene - recent fit and fun-loving retirees
Our guide Allegra was fantastic and informative. The wine tasting was delightful and we met some wonderful people. The only reason I am giving this only a 3 star is because itinerary clearly states “see lord of the rings filming locations”, this was the biggest draw for us. We had to ask about it 🥲, I don’t think it would have even been mentioned.
Ana was an awesome tour guide. Very informative and engaging. Great way to take in the sites around queenstown. The wine and cheese tasting was a nice perk.
We went on the small group tour to Milford Haven, and upgraded to business class. It’s a long day but a wonderful experience. Our guide Stuart was charming, friendly and unfailingly helpful and very good company. The food and service on the boat was also first class. It was a true highlight of our New Zealand holiday.
Caleb made the tour, so funny and engaged with everyone. Could have spent more time in Arrowtown - wonderful little town.
We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our guide Allegra whose commentary throughout the trip proved to be informative, interesting and fun. She is certainly a wonderful ambassador for this beautiful city. Our tour included a panoramic view of Queenstown stop where local landmarks and their history were pointed out to us, a visit to the Shotover Jet tours, a visit to the world famous Bungy jumping bridge where we were lucky enough to see a number of dare devils take the plunge! Our tour concluded with an excellent wine and cheese tasting visit to The Church winery where we sampled five local wines paired with five cheeses from the Otago Region. But wait! There's more! The charming Allegra farewelled us (with a voucher for a complementary Patagonian ice cream or coffee) at a water taxi where we were ferried across the Bay to Queenstown by our very capable skipper who also provided us with great commentary. I can thoroughly recommend this tour as a great introduction to the city and its surrounds. Ten out of ten for me!
