Tour description
Queenstown is New Zealand's adventure capital, a small resort town spectacularly set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu beneath the jagged peaks of the Remarkables. Born in a gold rush and now famous for adrenaline sports and scenery, it is one of the most beautiful towns in the world. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and dramatic setting.
You will stroll the lakefront, wander the historic streets of the old gold-mining town, and take in breathtaking mountain views. Along the way you will hear about the gold rush that founded the town and the adventures that made it famous. Stunning and lively, Queenstown is a wonderful place to explore on foot.
