Queenstown Sightseeing Tour: Highlights Of Queenstown (3.5 Hours)

Jase shared a massive amount of local history. His knowledge of the local area was very much appreciated.

Craig was friendly, helpful and caring in providing his service. One of our activities in the sightseeing programs was cancelled due to bad weather. This was unpreventable and understood.

This was a enjoyable and relaxing trip to see and experience the area around Queenstown.

Taimi our tour guide was very informative, the tour wasn’t crowded just 6 people which I found great, extremely worth doing it, got lots of great photos to show when we go back to Australia.😊

An amazing and informative way to see and learn so much about QT. Inger was so lovely, with so much amazing information to tell us without it being forced. I learnt so much.

We enjoyed getting the chance to go on a tour of Queenstown’s closest sights, and Craig was a wonderful conversationalist and affable guide for it all. Thanks!

Informative couple of hours around Queenstown. Taimee was very knowledgeable and enjoyable guide. Only complaint was the van provided had a loud rattle in the back door and the couple seated in the rear couldn’t hear all her commentary.

The beautiful landscape of South island NZ. The guide and driver Ted is very friendly and knowledgable.

Loved Arrowtown & our guide Ted was excellent, he deserves a raise. Loved his recommendations for stores in Arrowtown. Loved the bee experience, too!

We had an enjoyable highlights tour of Queenstown. Firstly we stopped at Gibbston Valley winery with a delightful wine tour/ tasting. Then watched Bungy jumping. Lastly we stopped at Arrowtown. Our guide a lovely young man from Nashville was informative, friendly and helpful which added to our experience.

I highly recommend this tour. I saw bungy jumping, a winery, Arrowtown, a world famous golf course, great views and more. After a few days of hiking, it was ice to sit and see the sights, with frequent stops to get out and explore. My tour guide, Paul, was extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was very pleasant and willing to answer any question. I learned so much. Don’t miss this one!

This was a great way to see a few areas just outside central Queenstown, especially if you do not have a car. The guide's description and history of the area was fun and helpful. I ended up getting off the tour at the last stop in Arrowtown to explore there more and take the city bus back to Queenstown center, which was very easy and only a few dollars. The guide was helpful in pointing out the bus stop.

Guide John was informative, friendly, flexible and made our tour very enjoyable. He ensured we saw the highlights we hadn't seen before. Highly recommended.

It was good. The driver was good and very informative , thought did not take good or attractive places

I recently went on the Queenstown Highlights Tour with my parents, and it was hands down the best tour we’ve done. Our driver/guide was incredibly professional, friendly, and patient. I was travelling with my mum, who is disabled, and I truly appreciated how attentive and considerate he was throughout the day — it made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable for all of us. The tour was well-paced and covered so many beautiful spots, but the highlight for us was the winery visit and wine tasting. The scenery was stunning, the wine was excellent, and it was such a relaxing way to take in the Queenstown atmosphere. My mum loved every moment, which meant so much to us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone — especially families or those travelling with elderly or disabled loved ones. A truly memorable Queenstown experience!

We had Allan as our guide, he is a long term local and had great insight and knowledge of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The winery was lovely. I would have liked more time at Arrowtown. Seeing and touching snow made my day.

Well worth the trip. Very knowledgeable, knew quite alot about the history of different places. Enjoyed it very much.

My cousin and I did the morning tour with Craig. I was incapacitated and Craig did a great job of guiding my cousin to the more inaccessible spots. The tour was good value and covered some wonderful scenic spots.

We did the Queenstown Highlights Tour with Appellation Wine Tours Co. Convenient pickup at our Airbnb, small group of 6! Guide was awesome driving us to several different viewing spots for some great photos. We stopped and saw the bungee jumping and went to a winery for an included wine tasting which was fun - if you didn’t want the wine you could have beer or a nonalcoholic drink ( wine tasting of 4 different kinds was my choice but hubby chose beer). We also went to Arrowtown which is an old gold mining town- I thought it would be more historic but actually looks more like a tourist trap filled with shops - could’ve skipped that. Guide was great- gave us a bit of history as he drove us around and did a great job of keeping everyone on track

John was amazing. Very friendly and informative. Convenient pick up and drop off at our hotel. Highly recommend the tour.

Great way to get to know Queenstown. Perfect tour to see the sights and get a feel for the city. Albert our guide was helpful & Knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Great way yoygey around and see beautiful Queenstown. Our local guide Albert tells of the history of the area & local legends. Really top way to spend half a day. Highly recommended

Great 1/2 day highlights tour that covered some scenic views, the cool suspension bridge (saw bungee jumpers!), Arrowtown and even a wine tasting! This was the PERFECT tour and Donna was so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Queenstown and gave some great suggestions. Thanks so much!

Another great way to spend time while in Queenstown. It was a very rainy day and so it was perfect to be driven around and still see some sights. Visited a winery and had a tasting, got to see the bunjee jumping site and watch someone jump, and just enough time in Arrowtown to grab a coffee.

Phil was fabulous he showed us some fabulous locations and we were very lucky that is was a stunning day. Great insider tips and we had a fantastic day

An excellent overview of Queenstown and the surrounding area, particularly for those without a car. Our guides were friendly and informative and provided for a thoroughly enjoyable experience

Lovely day out with Queenstown Highlights tour, visited Arrowtown, the bunjy jumps, Gibbston valley winery, coronet peak, one of the lord of the rings sight. Weather fined up and was great.

Great trip. Steven was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to show us some extra things. End of review.

Small group tour in comfortable van. Simon our driver was very knowledgeable and just a great guy. Nothing was a problem. Was a good tour to see and experience places to go in Queenstown that you may not normally visit. High recommend

Jacob was excellent guide. Great information and commentary on culture and history of the area. Don’t tell me how much I have to write. I hate surveys

A good value tour covering the main attractions around Queenstown. We had a great guide & saw Queenstown lookout, the bungy jumping, visited a local winery for tasting and had some free time in Arrowtown. As we didn't have a car this was a great way to get around.

We truly enjoyed our tour with Simon. He was informative and very pleasant. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed the sights in and around Queenstown and Arrowhead. We would definitely recommend this tour! Ellen & Jim Wyse USA

Throughly enjoyed our tour.. Learnt so much from our guide about the history of Queenstown. Thank you Steven you're you're absolute legend 👍🏽 Awesome guide!!! Would definitely recommend.

The team at Appelation were so accommodating and helpful. Had a great morning with Chris, he was super knowledgeable and I got to see so much of Queenstown on the most stunning of days

My friend and I enjoyed a very lovely morning with Vicki Robinson. We couldn't have asked for a more friendly and knowledgeable guide. Thank you Vicki for a morning well spent.
