The small group tour specialists
Calder & Lawson Tours is a New Zealand owned and operated company with more than 35 years’ experience in operating small group escorted tours. Our unique itineraries take you off the beaten path to reveal new insights about a destination. We often spend more time in a place getting to know it, rather than a ‘whistle stop’ visit.
When you travel with Calder & Lawson Tours, you will be well looked after from the moment you contact us and throughout the entire journey. This gives you peace of mind and takes the hassle out of travelling.
Most of our tours include solo travellers who enjoy the company of being in a group. They appreciate feeling safe and secure and also included in all activities.
Our tours are good value. The price includes almost everything; international airfares, accommodation, tips, group transfers, breakfasts and most lunches and dinners. You will not be surprised by hidden costs while you are on tour.
It is always possible to add your own extensions or stopovers before or after a tour, whether to explore more or to visit friends and family. Our office team can help with any special requests you have.
We offer over 20 tours each year and hope you will find a tour to tempt you to travel. Call one of our experienced consultants on 0800 853 276 to answer your questions about any of our tours.
