Rainer was born and educated in Germany. After completing a university degree in Transport and Tourism, he gained experiences working for a German Adventure Tour operator. At that time he developed a lifelong passion for New Zealand’s people, culture and landscape. In 1988 he made New Zealand home, and ever since Rainer has been developing tour group programmes and operating group tours for New Zealand and Australia.

‘I just love New Zealand, its people, its nature, its way of life. Each group tour through New Zealand is designed to bring the culture and nature of Aotearoa closer to our guests and visitors, to experience what this country has to offer.’

Key to his success is to design and tailor group tours with his clients’ expectations, wishes and requirements in my mind. Rainer’s eye for detail and integrity has earned him a proven track record and a sound reputation.

Rainer’s goal is to help his clients creating  memories of their journey through NZ’s mesmerizing landscape and their encounter’s of the countries unique culture and welcoming hospitality.
