Traveler Reviews

My friends bought this for me as a birthday present while I was in Christchurch and it was a lovely day out. Our driver was Ron who was friendly, informative and a very good driver of a small coach. We visited Cashmere, Beckenham, Sydenham, the port of Lyttleton, Sumner and then on to the Antarctic Center. Even though I had been in Christchurch for a week on my own, I still saw lots of sights I hadn't visited and the Antarctic Center was amazing. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped back again at the end and it was a great day out. Highly recommended.

Awesome guided tour. I was the only one on the tour and my guide was Cally. She was wonderful, passionate about Christchurch and informative.
Cally incorporated the touristy parts; restaurants, bars etc but I loved the historical and scenic aspects most, which formed a majority of the tour. Great morning!

We were very lucky to be the only two people on the tour so had complete attention from the guide, he was brilliant from beginning to end.
