Company Overview

The Fine Tours Group was born in 2004, like many Kiwi businesses, on a kitchen table. The idea was simple – make sure that every visitor has the best possible experience. It’s a simple and rewarding mission that our talented and fun-loving team is still dedicated to achieving today. We are a privately owned business with a small group of stakeholders who are actively involved in the business. The ownership of Fine Tours Group is shared by boutique investment firm Evergreen Partners, experienced director Greg Muir, and the business’s original Co-Founders, David and Kerry Kettle—together bringing decades of leadership and industry experience.
