EXPERTISE, TAILORED TO YOU
Luke Peterson
YOUR KIWI TRAVEL DESIGNER
Kia ora and hello from New Zealand!
I design and co-ordinate trips for travel enthusiasts bound for New Zealand
enabling people like you to achieve your personal wish list during your time here. I'll collaborate with you and produce a detailed day-by-day itinerary with a realistic timeframe, enriched by local knowledge and insight.
When you engage a Kiwi travel designer like me you'll benefit from my local connections , receive valuable tips to overcome logistical nightmares, assist with your decision making and provide peace of mind while you are touring around this very special place I'm lucky enough to call home!
Expect to receive a bespoke New Zealand travel itinerary tailored to suit your personal interests, tastes and travelling style enriched by a perspective that only a local can provide.
"But I love travel planning myself"
We hear it all the time.
Save up to 30 hours (or more)
The average person spends 10-30+ hours travel planning. Instead of waiting on hold for that exclusive behind-the-scenes Hobbiton tour, or hard-to-snag restaurant reservation, leave it to us.
Skip the logistical nightmares
"Wait—is that restaurant open on Mondays? Do we have to buy train tickets in advance? Is that restaurant close to Hobbiton?"
We've got it covered. Plus, we'll incorporate any existing plans into your itinerary.
Cut through the noise of review sites
It's our job to obsess over the newest and greatest spots every day around New Zealand. So why listen to an anonymous person on the internet when you can trust a local travel designer that's spent over 20,000 hours planning trips?
Kia Ora!
