In July 2004, Newmans, the largest and oldest tour operator in New Zealand, proudly celebrates the anniversary of 125 years in business. Today, a globally-marketed New Zealand travel specialist, Newmans continues to focus on delivering a memorable holiday experience for every traveller.

On the very first tour in 1879, Tom and Harry Newman set off from the Foxhill Hotel carrying Her Majesty's mail in a yellow, green and red coach. There were no travellers on board, just the precious bags of mail. Sceptics commented that they were foolhardy, as their journey would take them through some of New Zealand's toughest terrain - deep gorges, sheer cliffs and rushing rivers, but their determination to succeed is now a legend in the history of New Zealand transportation.

Now a part of the well-renowned travel group, the APT family, Newmans is still providing the unparalleled levels of quality, value and personalised service that made the company so successful in 1879.

"We're proud to have had Newmans on board as part of our tour portfolio since 1996," commented APT Managing Director, Barry Matters.

"Since then, Newmans has maintained its edge as the New Zealand expert tour operator by continuing to offer three levels of touring to cater for every travel budget, and having a highly professional team of New Zealanders to showcase the Islands' most remarkable sights," added Matters.

With three levels of quality touring: Premier, Superior and Affordable Value touring standards, plus a variety of special experiences for the exclusive traveller, Newmans offers a complete range of New Zealand touring holidays.

On Premier Tours, travellers can tailor-make their itinerary with a choice of experiences included in the tour price, as well as staying in first class and deluxe hotels and travelling on luxury coaches. A choice of activities while exploring the Bay of Islands, experiencing a Maori cultural performance in Rotorua and a unique dining experience in Queenstown, among many other attractions combine to create a diverse and unique touring experience.

Superior Touring takes in the sights of Cape Brett by luxury catamaran, stunning scenery by TranzAlpine Train, and allows passengers to witness the breathtaking beauty of Queen Charlotte Sound by boat, staying in first class and superior hotels.

Affordable Value Touring caters to budget travellers, while ensuring that passengers don't miss out on New Zealand's must-see attractions.
