Worth it, just about
Enjoyed it, but the meeting point could be clearer — we walked past it twice. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Private guide in Queenstown: the Harbour Side walk
A private guide who knows Queenstown properly — a lake between mountains, and the birthplace of the bungee jump. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Queenstown for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Superb
Our guide was excellent — patient with the children and full of stories we would never have found ourselves. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Highly recommend
A highlight of the trip. I have already recommended it to two friends who are visiting next month. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Excellent
Worth every penny. We had looked at a few options and this was clearly the right one. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.
