“Highly recommended for Cruise Passengers who want to see Christchurch. The tour is very informative and our guide/driver was very helpful and accommodating. The highlight of the tour is the 30 minutes Punting on the Avon River. A very relaxing boat ride with gondoliers pushing the boat like in Venice." jundavid0908

What a delightful tour with our friends, guided by a very competent and detail oriented guide named Heidi. We enjoyed it immensely. A highlight was the drive up to Sign of the Kiwi Cafe and hike up to the views of Lyttelton harbour and Christchurch. Another highlight was hearing the history of Christchurch, the earthquakes and more, much more. Punting was a relaxing conclusion to the day ! NorthStar03468007856

“Ein fantastischer Tag den wir sehr genossen haben. Die point's sind wirklich sehr schön gewesen. Christchurch ist eine sehr schöne Stadt. Von der Tram über den Riverside Market und einen Spaziergang durch die Stadt fantastischer Tag. Das I Tüpfelchen kommt zum Schluss die Stechkahnfahrt über den Avon mit Noe. Alles wirklich sehr schön und perfekt Organisiert." Bernd – Germany
