Hello, I'm Pete.

With over eight years of experience as a professional tour guide since 2018​,​ I am deeply passionate about sharing the very best of New Zealand’s breathtaking scenery​,​ rich culture​,​ and vibrant local communities. Throughout my career​,​ I’ve had the privilege of guiding diverse travellers for major national and international tour companies​,​ alongside creating and hosting my own tailored small-group journeys. My goal is simple: to turn every journey into an authentic​,​ memorable​,​ and fun-filled adventure. My core expertise centres on showcasing the unique character and hidden gems of Christchurch​,​ the surrounding Canterbury region​,​ and scenic routes across the South Island. Whether leading iconic city highlight tours​,​ coastal drives​,​ jet boat adventures​,​ or multi-day road trips​,​ I pride myself on delivering relaxed​,​ comfortable​,​ and deeply personalized travel experiences. Outside of tourism​,​ I have a keen interest in sport​,​ following a wide range of sporting codes​,​ with Newcastle United Football Club holding a particularly special place in my heart. I also enjoy cricket and love keeping up with the latest sporting action. Away from sport​,​ I appreciate fine food​,​ good company​,​ and the opportunity to socialise with others. I believe that great travel experiences are about more than simply visiting destinations — they are about sharing stories​,​ meeting people​,​ and creating lasting memories along the way. I work alongside my trusted teammate John​,​ who usually joins me on larger group tours and on all our longer itineraries. While I'm behind the wheel​,​ John leads the guiding and commentary​,​ and he also handles our daily operations when I'm out on the road.
