Hassle-free Tours is privately owned by Mark  and Nikki Gilbert and has been operating since early 2003.

Hassle-free Tours specialise in offering unique day tours from Christchurch into the breathtaking Canterbury high country. The Lord of the Rings Tour visits one of the most spectacular and recognisable locations from the Lord of the Rings trilogy – Edoras.  The 4WD Jetboat Adventure combines the excitement and thrill of 4-wheel-driving and jetboating as does the Alpine Safari Tour which also includes the world famous TranzAlpine Train.  Each tour is lead by one of Hassle-free Tour’s informative and entertaining Kiwi guides and utlise a fleet of custom built vehicles.  Group sizes are kept deliberately small (maximum 18 people), however we do have the capacity to handle large groups.

The inspiration for the business came from Nikki and Mark’s extensive travelling during their OE when they realised that some of the most spectacular scenery they had seen in the world was back home in New Zealand.  After doing some research from their flat in London they packed their bags and travelled home to New Zealand to start their next adventure – Hassle-free Tours!

Nikki and Mark believe a tour is more than just seeing the scenery it’s about the whole experience and the business is driven by their mission statement:
